Career

After starting his competitive career by playing for the amateur team CrossGaming in 2011,[1] Toyz was recruited by the Taipei Assassins in April 2012, with whom he went on to win the Season 2 World Championship.[2] Even though he was successful in his play with the Taipei Assassins, in June 2013 he had to retire from playing professionally because of carpal tunnel syndrome.[1] In 2014, he coached the European team Fnatic during their participation in the 2014 League of Legends World Championship,[3] which ended in the group stages.[4] However, afterwards he made a return as a player and formed the Hong Kong Esports team together with former Taipei Assassins teammate Wang "Stanley" June Tsan to play in the 2015 season.[5]
