Biography[]

Liu "Kitties" Hong-Jun played for All Gamers and RisingStars Gaming in Season 2 and 3 under the name "Cocoa". He joined Invictus Gaming in the 2014 Season as a replacement for XiaoXiao.

2014 Season[]

Kitties played his first real tournament with IG at Demacia Cup Season 1. They made it to the finals and placed first after beating WE 3-2. A few months later, they attended the IEM Season VIII - World Championship but failed to make it past groups after losing to the KT Rolster Bullets and Fnatic. The 2014 LPL Spring Regular Season ended shortly afterwards with IG in fourth place. IG qualified for the 2014 LPL Spring Playoffs and even made it to the finals but they lost 3-0 to EDward Gaming. They later lost 2-0 in Demacia Cup Season 2 in the round of 16 to Star Horn Royal Club. IG faired very poorly in the 2014 LPL Summer Regular Season, finishing in sixth place. They still qualified for the 2014 Season China Regional Finals but they finished in last after losing 2-0 to OMG and 2-1 to LGD Gaming.

2015 Season[]

IG played in the 2015 Demacia Cup Spring Season where they managed to make it to the finals but they lost 3-0 to EDG. A few weeks later, they finished in fifth place in the 2015 LPL Spring Regular Season and qualified for the 2015 LPL Spring Playoffs. Here, IG ended in third place after losing 3-0 to EDG in the semifinals but beating Snake eSports 3-1 in the third place match. IG participated in the 2015 Demacia Cup Summer Season and ended in fourth after losing 3-1 to EDG and 3-2 to Snake. Back in the 2015 LPL Summer Regular Season, IG ended in third place to qualify for the 2015 LPL Summer Playoffs. Here, IG finished in third place again after losing 3-2 to the Qiao Gu Reapers but beating EDG 3-1. IG qualified for the 2015 Season China Regional Finals and managed to qualify for the 2015 Season World Championship by beating Qiao Gu 3-0. IG was placed in a group alongside Cloud9, Fnatic, and AHQ e-Sports Club. Unfortunately, they ended with a 2-4 record and were knocked out of the tournament in last place.

2016 Season[]

The 2016 season was fairly straightforward for IG. The team placed 4th in the 2016 LPL Spring Season with an 8-8 record. They were quickly knocked out of playoffs in the first round after getting swept 0-3 by Snake Esports. The summer season was identical to the spring one for IG since they finished in 4th again with a 5-11 record. The summer playoffs also had the same result and IG were knocked out in the first round again by getting swept by I May. Kitties left Invictus Gaming in December of 2016.

2017 Season[]

In April of 2017 Kitties briefly joined Young Glory. The team finished 2nd at TGA Hero of Cities Season 12 after an 0-2 loss to EDG.Revengers in the finals. In May Kitties retired from professional play.
