TYLOO TYLOO China Rank #15 Ninebody Ding Yi (丁毅) coldfish Pengzhi Xiang (向鹏志) hfmi0dzjc9z7 Zhang Juncheng (张峻程) Eren Yang Zhengwei (杨曾威) have expanded their roster by signing two new players and a coaching staff. Among the acquisitions are Lo "Flex1n" Rui (罗瑞), who was traded from Trace Esports Trace Esports China Rank #3 LuoK1ng Zhang Zhanpeng (张展鹏) Kai Lu Zhinan (卢智楠) FengF Song Xuefeng (宋学锋) heybay Ho Shun Hei Biank Zhong Jianfei (钟剑飞) Zhao in exchange for LuoK1ng and coach Yiyee , and Yang "Eren" Zhengwei (杨曾威), previously on Ninjas In Pyjamas. Additionally, former Chao Hui EDward Gaming Chao Hui EDward Gaming Inactive Blue coach Deng "shuaishuai" Chuanyi (邓传义) joins as head coach, and Huang "Sunshine" Jinjie (黄进杰), previously on Weibo Gaming Weibo Gaming China Rank #14 TryTryz Lu Shiwei (卢世炜) Star1og Jun Chao Liang (梁竣超) DRK R1ckLeexD Li Xu (李旭) , joins as assistant coach.
Flex1n's arrival will reunite him with ICEKING, as the duo was previously a part of Totoro Gaming in 2023. They were signed by Trace Esports soon after, but ICEKING left in August to join TYLOO as part of their rebuild.
Also joining is Eren, who last played for Ninjas In Pyjamas. He initially joined the project as a flex duelist player, but transitioned to an initiator role for Ascension. The team was unsuccessful initially, unable to qualify to any of the China Evolution Series main events across the year. Their performance was still enough to earn circuit points, which allowed them to make Ascension, the final event of the year.
There, Ninjas In Pyjamas were able to survive the group stage, but they were eliminated after losses to Attacking Soul Esports, where now teammate hfmi0dzjc9z7 was playing at the time. In the lower bracket they lost 2-0 to eventual winners Dragon Ranger Gaming. During the tournament, Eren flexed to Deadlock for their Ascent composition, averaging 272 ACS on the agent.
Trading Yiyee to Trace Esports left TYLOO without a coaching staff. As reinforcements, they picked up head coach shuaishuai and Sunshine as assistant coach.
Previously a player, shuaishuai joined Chao Hui EDward Gaming in 2023 as their coach. Upon joining the new project, he helped the team qualify to Game Changers East Asia with a 13-2 map record. In the main event, the team went undefeated, qualifying to the Game Changers Championship after a 3-1 victory over ZETA Division. Unfortunately, losses to Shopify Rebellion and KRÜ Blaze ended their run, placing last in their first international event.
Like shuaishuai, Sunshine also has a brief coaching career. He moved to the role in September, after being released from Gank Gaming upon d3ffo's arrival. Unlike shuaishuai, his new team, Weibo Gaming, was less successful, only able to qualify to the first Act of the China Evolution Series. After qualifying, the team was unable to win another series, losing both matches in the Act 1 main event and exiting in the first round of the Act 2 and Act 3 qualifiers. Weibo did earn enough points to qualify to Ascension, but they released two players in November and did not participate.
