Yakult Brothers replaced offlaner

Chinese esports player Zhou Yang Haiyang has joined Yakult Brothers. He will replace Sun Srf Runfa in the third position. The announcement was published on the organization's Weibo page.

Srf joined Yakult Brothers in December 2025. With him, the team tried to qualify for BLAST Slam VI, but without success.

Yang is best known for his performances with Vici Gaming, with whom he won DreamLeague Season 11 and EPICENTER Major 2019, as well as becoming a finalist in MDL Chengdu Major and The Bucharest Major. Zhou's best result at The International was 5th-6th place in 2019.

The next tournament for the updated Yakult Brothers roster will be the qualifiers for ESL One Birmingham 2026. In the qualifiers for China, 8 teams will compete for 1 slot in the tournament.

As CyberScore reported earlier, all participants in the closed qualifiers for ESL One Birmingham 2026 have been announced.
