HLTV: JiJieHao benches Kjaerbye

Chinese esports club JiJieHao benched renowned Danish esports athlete Markus "Kjaerbye" Kjærbye. HLTV.org reported this, citing its own sources. The organization itself has not yet officially confirmed this information.

Kjaerbye joined JiJieHao at the end of June this year. Before that, Kjærbye had been inactive for almost two years. The Dane competed for JiJieHao at the Esports World Cup 2024 tournament in Saudi Arabia – the team lost to Sashi in a BO1 match and left the event, taking the last place. Kjaerbye himself finished that matchup with a rating of 0.63.

The club has not yet revealed a new team member, but registered Viktor "Duplicate" Mitev as the fifth player at the open qualifier for the Asia RMR.

 JiJieHao are now:

 Issa "⁠ISSAA⁠" Murad
 Hussein "⁠m1N1⁠" Hijazi
 Osama "⁠0SAMAS⁠" Orabi
 Denislav "⁠dennyslaw⁠" Dimitrov
