Bohan may join LNG Esports, further thinning Weibo&#8217;s roster.<\/p>\n<p>While Li &#8220;Xiaohao&#8221; Yuanhao is speculated to be the new jungler, the vacant spot left by TheShy remains uncertain, leaving fans and analysts eager to see who will fill this crucial position.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" class=\"contentLinkBtn\">More esports news<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kang &#8220;TheShy&#8221;
