League of Legends' Dashima Returns in July as PBE Classic Mode Comes Back

---

In July, Wuhu Dasima properly restarted his League of Legends streaming routine, bringing back daily ranked sessions and jumping onto the PBE server to test the incoming classic mode early. After about two years away from making LoL his main focus, this is not a cameo return. It is a real comeback, with the familiar ranked grind and nostalgia-heavy streams longtime viewers will recognize immediately.

That is what makes this comeback worth watching. Han Jinlong, better known as Wuhu Dasima, is still the same streamer and still the former coach of a professional League of Legends team, but this time the return has been paced carefully. In June, he publicly laid out his upcoming streaming schedule, saying that July would include pushing a PUBG tournament while also starting offline LoL warm-up sessions. Then in July, he formally shifted into regular League of Legends streams and added the PBE classic-mode test on top.

What matters now is whether the old material still lands. Mostly, it does. On Kha'Zix, he can still keep the rhythm of his old "square jungle" style, and once older picks like classic Ryze or AP Sion show up, chat immediately perks up. For viewers who do not closely follow the current patch, this kind of stream is easy to jump into. You do not need the latest item builds or balance changes to get the jokes.

The broader backdrop is important. During the 2023 platform crackdown on rule violations, many top streamers, including Wuhu Dasima, went offline at the same time, while their contracts and revenue-sharing terms were left unresolved. After that pause, he did not immediately return to League of Legends as his main focus. He shifted to other content and offline matters, and early in the comeback he also spent time on Street Fighter 6, PUBG, and Goose Goose Duck. In February 2026, he briefly brought League of Legends back on stream, but that appearance was mainly about the Hextech ARAM experience.

He did not rush straight back to the old formula. First he tried other games, then he settled back into a streaming rhythm, and only after that did LoL move back to the center. In that sense, this return looks less like a quick nostalgia grab and more like a gradual rebuild.

In practice, this run of streams is a straight nostalgia draw for older viewers. When Wuhu Dasima, Xiao Sima, and Guishidong appear together in League of Legends, the variety-show effect is still strong. They chat, joke around, and play a few games, so the mood stays loose rather than serious. Even so, the old "Golden Lecturer" era is not coming back exactly as it was. That phase began after Han Jinlong signed with Douyu in 2016, when he built the persona that made him famous and coined the terms viewers still remember: "square jungle," "spoon-shaped jungle," the "hypothetical principle," "edge OB," and "Ma-style triangle kill."

So the read is simple. If you want lighter League of Legends streams with a strong nostalgia hit, this comeback works well. If you care more about pure intensity, current-meta answers, or maximum rank-climbing efficiency, treat it as a chatty return run rather than a hard teaching stream or a serious push.
