Wen Yi '71' Tang, the former manager of EHOME, joins Team DK after taking an extended hiatus. His involvement with the team is highly valued by the players and they believe his advice is the reason why they are on the rise of late.
After various hints about his involvement with Team DK on Weibo, the legendary former EHOME manager Wen Yi '71' Tang has been confirmed to be a part of DK following the team's win over Invictus Gaming in WPC-ACE League last night. His involvement with the team was made obvious after he rushed into DK's gaming booths to hug DK players the second iG conceded in what seems to be, the most incredible comeback.
Breaking monitor and keyboard aside, an over the moon Zhi Cheng 'Lanm' Zhang told SCNTV interviewer that Tang has been involved with DK since before MLG Columbus last year where the team finished second. According to Zhang, apart from giving the team a huge boost of confidence mentally, his game strategies also helped them tremendously. "Many things he tells us are based on professional competitive sports. It is very helpful," Zhang affirmed.
Tang had previously worked with Zhang as well as Zhi Lei 'BurNing' Xu and Zeng Rong 'Dai' Lei during his stint with EHOME. Since EHOME's disbandment in October 2012, Tang would often publicly state that the three aforementioned superstars are his biggest pride in Esports. The players also shared the same feeling calling Tang "the most important person in their career".
Tang's involvement with DK will almost definitely spell better things to come for the team. DK is scheduled to compete in Esports Champion League tomorrow and G-League grand final on the 17th of January.
