Wikipedia - Victory Five
Victory Five was a Chinese professional esports organisation based in Shenzhen. It was owned by Mario Ho, head of Macau's esports association and son of the late Stanley Ho. It had teams competing in League of Legends and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
Plans to merge Victory Five and Ninjas in Pyjamas (NiP) were announced on 9 July 2020 by the teams' respective owners. The merger was completed on 10 August 2021, and, on 6 January 2023, Victory Five was dissolved and its teams were rebranded as NiP China.
History
History
Victory Five entered the professional League of Legends scene on 30 November 2018, when their application to the Pro League (LPL), China's top-level league for the game, was accepted. Along with SinoDragon Gaming, Victory Five joined the league as part of its expansion from 14 to 16 teams. Victory Five's inaugural roster consisted of top laner Lim "Jinoo" Jin-woo, junglers Tu "Ben4" Xincheng and Hu "Pepper" Zhiwei, mid laner Lei "Corn" Wen, bot laner Wang "y4" Nongmo, and supports Le "Ley" Yi and Yun "Road" Han-gil, with Tsai "DOG8" Hsueh-yu as head coach. The team finished 13th in the 2019 LPL Spring Split with a 4–11 record.
Victory Five replaced almost their entire roster for the 2019 LPL Summer Split, except for Ben4 and y4. Jinoo was traded to Edward Gaming in exchange for mid laner Li "Mole" Haoyan on 23 May 2019. Two days later on 25 May 2019, it was announced that top laner Huang "Aliez" Hao, mid laner Tao "Windy" Xiang, and support Li "Max" Xiaoqiang would be promoted from Victory Five's academy roster, V5 87. Despite the late addition of Hou "Otto" Guoyu, Victory Five finished 12th in the regular season with a 5–10 record.
In the 2020 LPL Spring Split the team set a league record for most consecutive losses, failing to win a single series and winning only one game against the second-last team, LNG Esports. The team's performance was hindered throughout the season by the COVID-19 pandemic in China, as several of their players lived within quarantine zones and were forbidden from leaving.
Victory Five revamped their roster prior to the 2020 LPL Summer Split; top laner Yu "Biubiu" Leixin, jungler Wei "Weiwei" Bohan, and bot laner Lee "Samd" Jae-hoon were acquired from Suning, while prospective rookie Guo "ppgod" Peng joined from FunPlus Blaze as the team's new support.
Victory Five is known for their aggressive playstyle and ability to dominate their opponents in the early game. They are also known for their strong teamfighting and ability to close out games quickly. The team has had a successful 2020 season, finishing in the top four of the LPL Spring Split and qualifying for the Mid-Season Cup.
Off the Rift, Victory Five is known for their dedication to their fans and community. The team regularly interacts with fans on social media and hosts meet-and-greet events. Victory Five is also committed to giving back to their community through various charitable initiatives.
Overall, Victory Five is a talented and exciting esports team that is poised for continued success in the LPL and on the international stage.
