I dont know if he is helping EDG behind the scenes as an AC but hes still listed as a player. He is still benched but hes one of the best IGL in china right now.
The manager of EDG stated that there is a possibility that Haodong comes back on the roster. If not they will allow teams for a buyout and i know a lot of teams need a regional top IGL
I agree that Haodong is a great IGL and player but since he underperformed dramatically in stage 2 i dont want him back on the roster Nobody is doing great as an IGL and s1mon is great rn
