Look Sports Media – CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO), the pride of the Pacific region after their impressive Worlds 2025 run, are reeling from the loss of two key players: mid-laner Tsai "HongQ" Ming-Hong and jungler Yu "JunJia" Chun-Chia. This follows closely on the heels of support player Ling "Kaiwing" Kai Wing’s departure, leaving the LCP champions with a severely depleted roster of just three active players, uncomfortably stacked with two top laners.
The exit of HongQ and JunJia signals the dismantling of the CFO squad that defied expectations, becoming the first team from their region to reach the Worlds playoffs since 2015. Their surprising success at Worlds 2025 has turned into a nightmare.

With only top laners Hsu "Rest" Shih-Chieh and Shen "Driver" Tsung-Hua, and bot laner Chiu "Doggo" Tzu-Chuan remaining, CFO’s future is uncertain. Doggo, the team’s star ADC, shone brightly at both MSI and Worlds, most notably in their stunning victory over T1 during the Swiss stage. His daring Draven pick against T1, a rare sight at that level of competition, showcased his aggressive playstyle and ability to dismantle opponents. Despite his undeniable talent, it remains to be seen whether Doggo will attract offers from other teams or if CFO can successfully rebuild around him.
The recent collapse of PSG Talon presents an opportunity for CFO to acquire talent without transfer fees, potentially forming a new national dream team. The return of veteran jungler Hung "Karsa" Hao-Hsua could be an appealing option. However, even with such additions, it’s questionable whether the replacements would match the caliber of the departing players.

Rumors are swirling that HongQ and JunJia are headed to the LPL, with JD Gaming (JDG) being the most likely destination. Wong "Tabe" Pak Kan, following his unexpected exit from Anyone’s Legend, has also been linked to JDG. Should these moves materialize, the 18-year-old HongQ would potentially replace Lee "Scout" Ye-chan, while JunJia would take over from Peng "Xun" Li-Xun. JDG, overshadowed by rivals like Top Esports and Anyone’s Legend in 2025, aims to revitalize their roster and reclaim dominance in the LPL.
For LCP fans, the departure of these key players raises concerns about the region’s competitive future. Will they have to endure another decade before witnessing their region’s return to the Worlds playoffs? Only time will tell if CFO can overcome this setback and rebuild a team capable of challenging the world’s best.
