History

Snake Esports announced on 21 May 2019 that it had been acquired by athletic apparel company Li-Ning and that it was rebranding as LNG Esports. Top laner Li "Flandre" Xuan-Jun, jungler Lê "SofM" Quang Duy, mid laner Huang "Fenfen" Chen, bot laner Lu "Asura" Qi and support Hu "Maestro" Jian-Xin remained on the team following the acquisition. To complete LNG's inaugural roster, mid laner Bae "Plex" Ho-young and support Duan "Duan" De-Liang were acquired from Griffin and Vici Gaming respectively.
In late 2019, LNG announced several roster changes, dropping SofM, Plex, Fenfen, and Maestro, and signing jungler Xiong "Xx" Yu-Long, rookie support Liao "lwandy" Ding-Yang, and Taiwanese veteran mid laner Huang "Maple" Yi-Tang. Bot laner Wang "Light" Guang-Yu was also promoted from LNG's academy team.
