According to a Weibo post made from QG Reapers' account, Li "LiNkO" Linke, who managed QG Reapers before they were acquired by Newbee and who left after the team was rebranded earlier this month, will lead a new League of Legends Secondary Pro League team that will operate under the name QG Reapers.

The post says the club has acquired the roster and LSPL spot of Newbee Young, and will play in the Summer Split.

Newbee acquired QG and all its assets in January, though the team played as QG Reapers in the LPL Spring Split before being rebranded as Newbee this month. It's not clear yet whether the new QG Reapers that will play in the LSPL is an independent organization that has acquired the rights to the QG brand, or a new subsidiary of Newbee.

Newbee Young placed sixth in the LSPL 2016 Spring Season. In its post, QG announced a new lineup for LSPL that includes players from Newbee Young, as well as subs from QG Reapers' original 2015 LSPL Spring lineup, and other LSPL players.

The most interesting pickup is Korean mid laner Doinb, who joins the new QG after the drawn out drama between him and Baek "Swift" Dahoon on the previous, Newbee-owned iteration of QG. Doinb will share the mid lane role with Cherish, who has played on many LSPL teams in the past.

Khan and Clid both played for Newbee Young in the previous split as the team's Korean duo. Khan has experience playing both in Champions and the League of Legends Pro League. ss17, the Chinese top laner for Hyper Youth Gaming last year, also has LPL experience on two separate teams.

Alone and AhrI round out the bottom lane. Alone played for QG Reapers Reserve team, and AhrI played for WE Academy before a very public conflict with Han "S1mlz" Jin. He has since spent time as a caster for the LSPL.
