Flex1n departs BLG after a roller coaster of a 2024 season which saw him land on three different teams. He began the year with Trace Esports Trace Esports China Rank #4 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) , with whom he'd spent the 2023 season with. Following the team's elimination in the semifinals of China Kickoff, Trace and TYLOO TYLOO China Rank #20 5CM Ding Xuanpeng (丁宣鹏) Ninebody Ding Yi (丁毅) coldfish Xiang Pengzhi (向鹏志) slowly Kelun Sun (孙科伦) hfmi0dzjc9z7 Zhang Juncheng (张峻程) Eren Yang Zhengwei (杨曾威) organized a trade that saw Flex1n move to TYLOO in exchange for LuoK1ng and coach Yiyee . With Flex1n in Stage 1, TYLOO went 2-3 and fell short of the playoffs.
They went back to the drawing board, continuing their ever-evolving rebuild and parting ways with Flex1n, which opened the door for him to join BiliBili Gaming for Stage 2. BLG, who themselves were coming off of a disappointing Stage 1, replaced Biank with Flex1n. With him settled in as the team's full-time Controller player, BLG finished the regular season 3-1, qualifying for the playoffs. While they did not record a top-three finish, they narrowly qualified for Champions Seoul through Championship Points. At Champions, they lost to FNATIC FNATIC Europe Rank #3 crashies Austin Roberts Boaster Jake Howlett kaajak Kajetan Haremski Chronicle Timofey Khromov Alfajer Emir Ali Beder to open up the group stage and were eliminated by KRÜ Esports KRÜ Esports Latin America South Rank #3 keznit Angelo Mori Mazino Roberto Rivas adverso Benjamín Poblete mta Nicolás González Shyy Fabian Usnayo Melser Marco Eliot Machuca Amaro .
Flex1n, best known for his play on Omen and Viper, has played a wide variety of Controller roles, occasionally filling in as Brimstone and Harbor. He joins a Dragon Ranger team which, after qualifying for Masters Shanghai through a successful Stage 1 showing, failed to reach those heights again.
Since the end of the season, they have also signed Lin "SpiritZ1" Dingyu (林定宇) and Zheng "Cangshu" Yujun (手郑宇峻). Flex1n's addition expands the team's roster to eight with Dingwei a substitute, meaning outgoings are likely on the horizon.
