CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO) have lost their second and third piece of the transfer period, losing Tsai ‘HongQ’ Ming-Hong and Yu ‘JunJia’ Chun-Chia.

The departures closely follow Ling ‘Kaiwing’ Kai Wing leaving the organisation, which leaves CFO with only three active players, two of whom are top laners.

The roster moves break up a CFO roster that became the first Pacific-region team to make the Worlds playoffs since 2015 in their Worlds 2025 run.

What remains of CFO?

CFO now have only three remaining players, two of which are top laners as CFO operated on a six-man roster, substituting Hsu ‘Rest’ Shih-Chieh or Shen ‘Driver’ Tsung-Hua in based on their champion pools.

As of yet, bot laner Chiu ‘Doggo’ Tzu-Chuan remains on the roster. The extremely talented 22-year-old was a stand-out piece for CFO at both MSI and Worlds in 2025, especially starring in CFO’s victory over T1 at the Swiss stage of Worlds.

The Taiwanese ADC picked Draven, a rare pick at that stage of the tournament, dismantling T1 with ruthless aggression on the lane-swap.

Despite being a stand-out piece for CFO, it is unclear whether Doggo is the subject of outside interest or whether CFO have the ability to rebuild around Doggo.

The sudden demise of PSG Talon means their entire roster is available on free agency, allowing CFO to get another national team without transfer fees.

A potential return of jungle, Hung ‘Karsa’ Hao-Hsua, may be an attractive prospect to the CFO organisation.

Yet piece for piece, the replacements would individually be a step down from CFO’s departing pieces.

LCP fans will be wondering if they will have to wait another 10 years to see their region at Worlds playoffs again.

Where could HongQ and JunJia go?

HongQ and JunJia have been linked with a move to the LPL, with JD Gaming (JDG) being the most linked destination.

Wong ‘Tabe’ Pak Kan has also been linked with a move to JDG following his sudden departure from Anyone’s Legend.

Anyone’s Legends’ roster fully re-signed for 2026, yet their Head Coach surprisingly did not, departing the organisation.

If all the moves come to pass, 18-year-old HongQ would replace Korea’s Lee ‘Scout’ Ye-chan, with JunJia replacing China’s Peng ‘Xun’ Li-Xun.

JDG were overshadowed by their regional rivals in 2025, with Top Esports, Anyone’s Legend, and BLG winning LPL’s 2025 splits.

The organisation failed to qualify for any of League of Legends’ top-tier internationals, finishing 7th-8th in the League of Legends Asia Invitational for teams that missed Worlds.
