CTBC Flying Oyster is making waves in the esports scene as it gears up for the 2026 League of Legends Pacific Championship (LCP) season. The team has announced the acquisition of Zhao ‘Shad0w’ Zhiqiang as their new jungler, a move that has ignited excitement among fans and analysts alike.
CFO Roster Changes Ahead of 2026
Shad0w, who has the unique distinction of winning championships in both the LEC and LPL, began his esports journey with MAD Lions in Europe before making a significant impact in China over five years. Known for his strategic pathing and early-game dominance, Shad0w’s contributions have been highlighted by victories, including the LPL 2025 Split 3 title, marking him as the first European to achieve this feat.
2025 was a landmark year for CFO, as they became the only team to qualify for every League of Legends international tournament, showcasing their consistency and adaptability. Their performances have attracted global attention, cementing their status as a formidable team in the international arena.
However, the impressive results also led to significant roster changes. Mid laner Tsai ‘HongQ’ Ming-Hong and veteran bot laner Chiu ‘Doggo’ Tzu-Chuan were instrumental in CFO’s success but have since pursued opportunities elsewhere. HongQ and jungler Yu ‘JunJia’ Chun-Chia joined JD Gaming, while top laner Shen ‘Driver’ Tsung-Hua and support Ling ‘Kaiwing’ Kai Wing have also left the organization. This exodus marks the end of an era for one of the most successful line-ups in CFO’s history.
As CFO looks ahead to the 2026 season, the organization remains committed to excellence, focusing on international experience to maintain their competitive edge.
