JiJieHao are looking for a new captain - Kjaerbye will miss RMR qualifications

However, just as interesting was the information that the new player will likely take on the role of captain. This suggests that  Kjaerbye , a well-known member of the team, may not continue his career with JiJieHao .

The search for a new IGL is especially important for JiJieHao ahead of the upcoming RMR tournament, which will be a qualifier for the Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024. This competition will open the doors for the top teams in the Middle East, and strengthening the roster could be crucial for JiJieHao in the fight for a trip to the Major.

Kjaerbye 's tough journey and the importance of the upcoming tournament

Kjaerbye recently suffered a personal tragedy - his sister passed away from a brain tumor. This event certainly influenced his decision to take a pause in his career. However, he has played a key role in the team's previous successes, particularly in qualifying for the Esports World Cup, where JiJieHao booked their slot.

While waiting for a new riffler, JiJieHao maintain their position as they prepare for the RMR Middle East Qualifiers. While other teams such as  NOM eSports  have already been shortlisted for a direct invitation to the closed qualifiers, JiJieHao are on the lookout to strengthen their chances of success.

Important dates and current lineup

The Middle East open qualifiers will start as early as August 21, 2024 and the closed qualifiers will start on August 25. There is not much time left before the start, and the team is rushing to finalize the new player transfer to have time to prepare for the competition. At the moment, JiJieHao 's lineup is as follows:

• ISSAA
• M1N1
• 0SAMAS
• dennyslaw
• TBA

Outlook and Expectations

Losing Kjaerbye is a blow to the team, but finding a new IGL could be a turning point for JiJieHao . If they manage to find a suitable candidate, the team has a chance to play at RMR and possibly further participate in Perfect World Shanghai Major 2024.
