. Additionally, his arrival will relieve

from IGLing duties, allowing him to better focus on his own performance. SiuFatBB also offers the team more flexibility, with his six most played agents (around 76% of his total playtime) being on four different roles, compared to coldfish's Sova and Viper taking up 78% of his total recorded rounds.
While Wolves does not have a history of success in the region, the team was not expected to land towards the bottom of the pack in the VCT China league. In the overall standings, Wolves head into Stage 2 in tenth place, tied with NOVA Esports and Bilibili Gaming with a 2-4 match record but with a worse map differential than both. In terms of championship points, which will allow the team to qualify to Champions Seoul should they miss out on the Stage 2 playoffs, Wolves are tied with five different teams.
