It’s our sad duty to confirm that Yu-hao “Mouse” Chen will be returning to China to address the loss of a family member, as confirmed by the team and verified with documentation for League officials, and thus will be unable to participate in the remainder of the 2016 World Championship. Per Worlds rules, Edward Gaming is permitted to replace Mouse with a player from their season-ending active roster, and will have Yang “Koro1” Tong as that replacement.

Worlds rules, in section 3.2, state:

Each team is required to maintain, at all times during Worlds, five players in the starting lineup (“Starters”), and one substitute player (“Reserve”) (collectively, the “Active Roster”) as well as an official coach. The Active Roster is considered locked as of September 7th, 2016, at 11:59am PT. The Active Roster that was submitted to or known by Worlds officials on this date will be considered the eligible Active Roster for Worlds. This roster lock will not supersede regional roster locks that may have occurred prior to this date. In the absence of a regional roster lock, teams will not be able to add any new players to their roster after their last regional competition preceding Worlds.

In the case of an emergency, a team may add a substitute after this deadline, however, the substitute added must not have been on any other professional roster on September 7th and must have been eligible to be on a professional roster on September 7th. All Starters must have a written contract with the team they are playing for.

Koro1 was on EDG’s roster through the summer, and meets all eligibility requirements to play; he will be available to play starting in EDG’s Quarterfinal on Saturday, October 15th.

The family has requested privacy with which to mourn their loss. Our sincerest condolences go to Mouse and his family.


마우스 선수의 가족상으로 인해 코로 선수가 8강부터 대신 출전합니다.

14년부터 정의된 롤드컵 3조 2항에 따르면 로스터 제출일 기준 주전 5명, 식스맨 1명, 코치 1명. 총 7명의 명단은 바꿀수없으나
라이엇이 인정하는 예외적인 케이스에 해당할경우 1회에 한해서 1명을 추가할수있으며
마우스 선수의 경우 예외 케이스 조건을 충족하는 것으로 서류심사가 통과되었습니다.

추가하는 선수의 경우, 다른 프로팀에 소속되면 안되고, 프로 조건을 만족하면서 월챔 참가에 문제가 없는 선수만 가능하며
코로는 해당 조건을 만족하기때문에 승인되었다고 합니다.


코로선수는 스프링시즌까진 경기를 뛰었으나
섬머시즌에 마우스선수로 주전이바뀐후 경기를 한 적이 없습니다


삼가 고인의 명복을 빕니다
