With Rare Atom, Viva played a multitude of roles, including Jett, Iso, Sova, and Viper. This role continued with JDG in 2024, though he played considerably fewer games as a duelist.

After winning Ascension China with them, he was a part of Xi Lai's late offseason roster moves. He was mainly XLG's initiator player, though he occasionally filled in to play the controller role on Omen. JDG will be his fourth team in three seasons.

JDG's 2024 season saw them finish top six at the end of Stage 2, missing out on reaching any international events. Since the end of their season, they've participated in three OFF//SEASON events, and have made a handful of personnel changes. They signed EGO and hypnotizing as their coaching duo, while also adding in-game leader sword9 .

It is believed that YiHao will continue in a reserve role, meaning MrCANI rounds out their five-man roster.
