YYF was part of the iG team that won TI2.
YYF remained relatively stable throughout his career, only playing for two teams across the last few years. He rose to prominence with LGD Gaming in 2010, becoming known as one of the world's best, with certain balance changes said to be a direct result of some of his clever play during the WC3 days. This soon led to him being picked up by Invictus Gaming.Y, with the squad eventually merging with the iG.Z squad: YYF, ChuaN, Faith, Ferrari_430 and Zhou. The squad would go on to be the first Chinese team to win a TI. Even at TI4, the majority of the roster remained, with only Zhou missing after his own retirement.
YYF's career largely played out at just two teams - iG and LGD.
YYF did allude to 'his next objective', which could be anything from coaching to joining former teammate Zhou in the casting booth. It will be a big blow to Invictus Gaming and will raise plenty of questions about the future of the team heading into China's post-TI shuffle, in which LaNm has already retired. Whatever happens next, the Chinese scene is sure to be saddened by the loss of another great player, but looks forward to seeing which veteran or rising star will be stepping in to fill his empty shoes.
