Career

2014 Season

Wei joined LGD Gaming in May 2014 as their new mid laner under the name "We1less". He joined the team after leaving Vici Gaming, a team he was a part of since September 2012. LGD was knocked out extremely early in Demacia Cup Season 2, losing 2–1 to Team RM in the very first round. They placed fourth in the 2014 LPL Summer Regular Season and managed to qualify for the 2014 LPL Summer Playoffs. Unfortunately, they failed to win a single game, losing 3–0 to both EDward Gaming and Star Horn Royal Club. LGD managed to make it to the 2014 Season China Regional Finals but were knocked out in the second round with a 2–1 loss to OMG.[1]

2015 Season

LGD's first full tournament of the year was the 2015 Demacia Cup Spring Season where they made the quarterfinals but lost 3–0 to Invictus Gaming. Shortly afterwards, they finished the 2015 LPL Spring Regular Season in sixth place and advanced to the 2015 LPL Spring Playoffs. LGD upset both OMG and Snake eSports 3–0 to face EDward Gaming in the finals. The series went the distance to a full five games but LGD ultimately lost the series 3–2 to EDG.

Prior to the start of the second half of the season, We1less changed his name to "GODV". LGD became feared in China but they were upset 3–0 by OMG in the 2015 Demacia Cup Summer Season. LGD placed fifth in the 2015 LPL Summer Regular Season and qualified for the Seeding Match of the 2015 LPL Summer Playoffs. They fought their way to the finals, even upsetting EDG 3–0 along the way. LGD beat the Qiao Gu Reapers 3–2 in the finals to qualify for the 2015 World Championship as the top seed from China. LGD was placed in a group alongside Team SoloMid, Origen, and KT Rolster. Unfortunately, they ended with a 2–4 record and were knocked out of the tournament.[2]

2016 Season

Going into IEM X San Jose, GODV renamed once again, this time to PAinEvil. LGD were knocked out in the first round, losing 0–2 to Team SoloMid.[3]

On May 10 Wei had to take a temporary leave from the game due to recurring hand injuries.[4]
