Career

Misaya originally played Dota and competed at semi-professional tournaments, but quit the game after a brief unsuccessful career. Shortly after, he moved on to League of Legends with his close friends. His skillful play-style caught the attention of Team WE (then-known as World Elite), which he joined in March 2011 as their starting mid laner. Misaya and his team would go on to finish in the top eight at the Season 2 World Championship. He retired in December 2013 to focus on streaming and promoting League of Legends in China.[2]

During his prime, Misaya was known for his prowess as the character Twisted Fate. A play involving the use of Twisted Fate's ultimate move "Destiny" to bait out enemy abilities after teleporting was named after him by fans.[4]
