pl1xx leaves Wolves Esports after one season
He has been in the professional Valorant scene since 2020, bouncing around teams all around the world, spanning from the US, Australia, the United Kingdom and China.

Since his debut, he's been on four different lower-tier teams' rosters before landing with Wolves Esports as the team's in-game leader this January. He previously played for EXO Clan and BOBO in Australia, Soniqs in the United States, and Weibo Gaming in China.
The Chinese-Australian transitioned from CS-GO, and in his first season at the top level of Valorant has a handful of highlights to look back on.
Wolves began their 2024 season with a 2-0 win over eventual Champions participants BilliBilli Gaming at China Kickoff, but would lose six of their next eight matches, failing to qualify for the playoffs of Kickoff and China Stage 1.
A better Stage 2 showing for the team saw them win half of their matches and look to contend for a spot at playoffs, but they finished one game behind the top six and saw their season end in July.
pl1xx is most well-known for his play on KAY/O, and said that he is looking for an IGL or initiator role to fill in a new team. He said, “I believe my strength lies in mid-rounding and leading.”
He also said that he is “prioritising VCT CN/APAC/Ascension offers,” meaning he is likely to stay close to home.
Ahead of the 2024 season, Wolves Esports made an ambitious move in an attempt to break into the upper ranks of the Chinese region. They signed pl1xx as part of an eight-man signing class ahead of the season. While some of that eight-man class remain, pl1xx will not be.
