The team hoped to bounce back from their rough recent performances and entered the 2016 LPL Spring Season with high hopes.

In the second half of the season, they performed better and finished 4th in their group with an 8-8 record. They faced off against Vici Gaming in Round 1 of the Playoffs, but lost 1-3. In summer, the team finished 5th place in their group and were required to play in the 2017 LPL Spring Promotion, where they re-qualified for the next LPL split with a 3-1 win over Newbee.
2017 Season[edit]
Despite having a promising roster, LGD continued to struggle and finished the 2017 LPL Spring Season in last place in their group.
