Ninjas in Pyjamas announced the arrival of support Wang “Zhuo” Xuzhuo, who rejoins the Chinese League of Legends team for the 2026 season.

Zhuo previously played on Ninjas in Pyjamas in 2023-24. He helped NiP place fourth in League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Spring and Regional Finals before Zhuo, along with all four of his teammates, got removed in a major roster rebuild at the end of the year.

After leaving NIP, Zhuo found a new home at LNG Esports, with whom he competed for the majority of the 2025 season, before leaving for JD Gaming midway through Split 3.

Fast Payouts

On JDG, the 24-year-old struggled to find his place as the roster went through three players at the time, Zhuo being the third and final one. Still, he helped JDG place fourth in Split 3 and came one game short of qualifying for the LoL World Championship, losing to Invictus Gaming in the Regional Finals.

By returning to Ninjas in Pyjamas after one year, Zhuo will have a chance for a fresh start on a roster that is undergoing significant changes.

NIP, who failed to find much success in the 2025 LoL esports season, released their entire roster at the end of November, with ADC Hu “Leave” Hongchao and jungler Yang “Naiyou” Zijian already finding new homes at EDward Gaming and Top Esports.

The bookies' bookie

Since the exodus of the entire lineup, NIP have acquired just one new player, mid laner Yang “Care” Jie, who spent the last season on FunPlus Phoenix.

Fielding just two active players, NIP still have a long way to go before they finalize their new LoL roster and just over three weeks before LPL 2026 Split 1 kicks off on January 1.
