The owners of the organization were successful in signing a new deal with the former, but unfortunately for DAMWON&rsquo;s fans, the top laner has decided not to stay in Korea and left for China.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There were a lot of rumours about Jang&rsquo;s transfer to the League of Legends&#8217; Pro League. For much of the time, it was unclear which team would secure the world champion.<\/p>\n<p>In the last few days his destination became clearer, Nuguri would be signing with FunPlus Phoenix. Every other top Chinese team had already decided on who will play top lane for them, so the 2019 World Champions seemed like the only logical direction.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ginx.tv\/en\/league-of-legends\/riot-announce-sweeping-lcs-format-changes\">Riot announce sweeping LCS format changes<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There&rsquo;s no hiding that Nuguri had an amazing year, but on the other hand, his new team did not.
