Biography[]
2016 Season[]
Ben joined Invictus Gaming in July of 2016. Because the team was very unstable, he didn't get to play consistently enough to showcase his talent. Invictus Gaming barely managed to make it into the 2016 LPL Summer Playoffs but lost 0-3 to I May in the first round. Ben left the team in December of 2016 and joined Team WE
2017 Season[]
The 2017 Season was much more successful for Team WE after Zero became more of a substitute and Ben was promoted to the main support for the team. They finished the 2017 LPL Spring Season in 2nd place with a 10-6 record. In the 2017 LPL Spring Playoffs Team WE was able win their first LPL title after taking down RNG 3-0 in the finals. They attended the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational and made it through the group stage after they finished 2nd with a 7-3 record. In the Semifinals they were eliminated after a 1-3 loss to G2 Esports. Summer wasn't as successful for WE domestically. They were unable to defend their LPL title after they finished 2nd in their regular season group and lost 2-3 to Invictus Gaming in the third place match of the playoffs. They got their revenge against Invictus Gaming later on after they defeated them 3-2 in the 2017 Season China Regional Finals. Their run at the 2017 Season World Championship was quite impressive. Despite starting off in the Play-In stage, they advanced to the main groups with a 3-0 win over Young Generation. They also finished 1st in their main stage group with a 5-1 record. After they took down Cloud9 3-2 in the Quarterfinals, they faced off against eventual tournament winners Samsung Galaxy and lost 1-3.
