Bilibili Gaming announced on their official social media accounts the signing of the Italian-Chinese player Zhao "shad0w" Zhiqiang as their new jungler ahead of the start of the third LPL Split 3 2025. This transfer marks another step in Bilibili Gaming 's attempts to revamp their lineup following a series of disappointing performances.

shad0w recently played for FunPlus Phoenix , and before that, he gained popularity in the European region while playing for MAD Lions . With this team, he became an LEC champion and participated in international tournaments, consistently showcasing a high level of jungle play.

It's worth noting that Bilibili Gaming already changed their jungler at the beginning of the season — at that time, Wei was replaced by Beichuan . With the latter, the team competed in the spring playoffs of the LPL, MSI 2025, and the recent Esports World Cup, but Bilibili Gaming was unable to achieve satisfactory results in any of these tournaments. The team exited prematurely on all international stages, falling short of fans' expectations.

It remains to be seen whether shad0w can elevate the team to new heights and bring Bilibili Gaming back into the title contention in the last split of the season. The first match of the revamped Bilibili Gaming lineup will take place on July 26 against Anyone’s Legend.
