Xi Lai Gaming has completed its roster for the upcoming season with the signings of Lifan "Viva" Ran and Zhong "coconut" Hongzu. These additions come as the team looks to solidify its place among the top teams in the region.
Viva is a notable player known for his versatility and deep agent pool, previously competed with Rare Atom and JD Gaming. Renowned for his proficiency with agents such as Jett, Sova, and Viper, Viva brings significant firepower and strategic flexibility to the roster. His experience in high-stakes matches is expected to elevate Xi Lai Gaming’s competitiveness, particularly as they aim to challenge regional powerhouses like EDward Gaming and Wolves Esports.
Coconut, who had been playing with Xi Lai Gaming in OFF//SEASON events, has now officially joined the team. He was instrumental in the squad’s recent successes, including their runner-up finish at the 2024 Esports Shanghai Masters, where they defeated EDward Gaming in the semifinals before falling to Wolves Esports in the grand final.

He's also the In-game leader of the team.
These roster moves underscore Xi Lai Gaming’s commitment to building a competitive team capable of excelling in both domestic and international competitions. The squad’s OFF//SEASON performances have already demonstrated their potential, and with Viva’s addition, the team appears ready to challenge for top honors.
