An unusual incident occurred with the new jungler of Bilibili Gaming . A fan reported to the immigration service that shad0w might simultaneously hold two passports—Chinese and Italian. Authorities conducted an investigation and confirmed that the player indeed uses an Italian passport, which means he has officially lost Chinese citizenship.

According to Chinese law, citizens of the People's Republic of China born abroad must choose only one citizenship upon reaching the age of 18. Apparently, in shad0w 's case, this process was not conducted correctly.

Now BLG will have to urgently arrange a work visa for him, as he is formally considered a foreigner. If the team wins the LPL 2025 Summer Split, shad0w will become the first European in history to win the Chinese league.

The incident sparked a heated reaction in the Chinese community: some fans condemned the report, while others supported the legality of the decision. BLG representatives have not yet commented on the situation.
