The JD Gaming homepage wrote on X: “After reaching a general agreement between the player and JD Gaming, and fully respect the player's personal desire, we would like to announce that from today, JD Gaming and the player below Park Jae-hyuk (ID: RULLER) have officially broke up”
“Since joining JDG, Ruler has shown special skills and professionalism, bringing the team to an incredible height and bringing countless memorable highlights on stage. For more than two years as an elite gunner, Ruler has taken the responsibility of damaging the team, leading the team to victory over and over again.”
Thus, Ruler and JD Gaming have ended the journey for nearly two years of playing together. The Korean gunner joined JDG at the end of 2022 and the team achieved many successes in 2023 as the two LPL championships, a MSI title and reached the semi -finals of Worlds. However, after being defeated by T1, JD Gaming was unable to regain his form after breaking up 369 and Knight.
In 2024, Ruler and JD Gaming retain good performance when entering the top 3 of the Spring Prize. However, in the summer, only Ruler tried to “carry” the team through the group stage, though, the play-off was still eliminated early in 7-8 after a 2-3 loss to Ninjas in Pyjamas.
In the regional qualifier, JD Gaming lost in the decisive match with a score of 2-3 against Weibo Gaming, whereby could not attend Worlds 2024.
Currently, no official information about the next stop of Ruler or the replacement of this player at JD Gaming. Due to the promise of not playing for any other team in LCK outside Geng, many fans are rumor that the 25 -year -old gunner will return to the old team, so that Peyz will leave. However, there is still a lot of news that this player will stay in China and join a new “Super Team” of LPL in 2025.
