HLE officially announced the "blockbuster" contract for the jungle position on the afternoon of November 23. Kanavi (Seo Jin-Hyuk) officially returned to his homeland after spending most of his career playing in the Chinese League of Legends championship LPL.
The aforementioned player will replace captain Peanut, who has just ended his professional career at the age of 27, participating in mandatory military service in Korea. In the midst of the transfer market lacking quality junglers, Kanavi is a quality addition to the "super squad" HLE has spent a lot of money to build.
It is worth mentioning that this transfer did not surprise the audience and fans worldwide. Three days earlier, on the afternoon of November 20, the official Facebook page of Hanwha Life Insurance Company, Vietnam branch, announced this information. The post quickly attracted the attention of users, reaching thousands of interactions and shares.

Hanwha Life Vietnam Insurance Company leaked the Kanavi contract since November 20. |
A few hours later, this post disappeared from the insurance company's page. But it was spread among the global League of Legends fan community. It caused a big discussion in North America, China... This could be a mistake in censorship, setting the posting time of the Facebook page administrator.
According to the rules of professional League of Legends transfers, the new contract must be announced after the old team announces their separation. It was not until the afternoon of November 23 that Top Esports announced the termination of their relationship with Kanavi.
Kanavi started out as a trainee at Griffin (Korea). But he spent most of his career serving Chinese teams. The biggest milestone in his career was representing his country at the 2023 Asian Games. Here, he and his teammates won the Gold Medal. This achievement helped Kanavi be exempted from compulsory military service.
However, he still has to do a short training course to complete the procedure. This is part of the reason for the "return" of the highest paid jungler in LPL.
Before Kanavi, HLE announced the successful renewal of top laner Zeus, mid laner Zeka and support Delight. In addition to Peanut, the team also parted ways with ADC Viper after 3 years of association. This position can be replaced by Gumayusi, the best player of the recent World Championship. Previously, this ADC announced his departure from T1.
If the above lineup comes true, HLE is completely capable of competing with T1, the current world champion and GenG, the strongest organization in LCK.
