Biography

Icon joined OMG in December of 2015. He didn't play in 2016 however. In 2017 after Cool left OMG, Icon became the primary mid laner for the team. In the 2017 LPL Spring Season, OMG finished 2nd with a 9-7 record. They went into the playoffs with a lot of momentum and achieved a respectable 4th place finish after a 2-3 loss to EDG in the third place match. This performance did carry over initially in the 2017 LPL Summer Season as OMG once again finished 2nd in their group with a 10-6 record. Their playoffs performance however wasn't so stellar. The team lost 1-3 to Invictus Gaming in their first match and was quickly knocked out of playoffs. The 2017 Season China Regional Finals gave OMG one final chance to qualify for Worlds but the team got swept 0-3 in the first round by Invictus Gaming. This ended their 2017 season.
