History
Victory Five entered the professional League of Legends scene on 30 November 2018, when their application to the League of Legends Pro League (LPL), the highest level of competitive League of Legends in China, was accepted.[2] Along with SinoDragon Gaming, Victory Five joined the league as part of its expansion from 14 to 16 teams.[1] Victory Five's inaugural roster consisted of top laner Lim "Jinoo" Jin-woo, junglers Tu "Ben4" Xin-Cheng and Hu "Pepper" Zhi-Wei, mid laner Lei "Corn" Wen, bot laner Wang "y4" Nong-Mo, and supports Le "Ley" Yi and Yun "Road" Han-gil, with Tsai "DOG8" Hsueh-Yu as head coach.[1][3] The team finished 13th in the 2019 LPL Spring Split with a 4–11 record.[4]
Victory Five replaced almost their entire roster for the 2019 LPL Summer Split, except for Ben4 and y4. Jinoo was traded to Edward Gaming in exchange for mid laner Li "Mole" Hao-Yan on 23 May 2019. Two days later on 25 May 2019, it was announced that top laner Huang "Aliez" Hao, mid laner Tao "Windy" Xiang, and support Li "Max" Xiao-Qiang were promoted from Victory Five's academy roster, 87.
