Zhou ‘Blink’ Yang is a 24 year old who is a dedicated Dota 2 top player. At present, he plays the solo middle position for his team Wings Gaming. The Chinese community have called him the ’42 year old genius mid’ teasing him for his hair loss that makes him look like an old man.
Where it all began:
Blink got inspired by another pro gamer Zou ‘820’ Yotian who used to play for the squad Old Boys and was also LGD Gaming coach. Thanks to the motivation, Yang is a talented dota 2 athlete who enjoys every moment playing with Wings Gaming, except when the squad loses.
The Team:
Wings Gaming was created in 2014 with five team players who specialise in Dota 2. The current roster includes Blink, Shadow, Faith_bian, Iceice and Y’ famous for their unpredictable moves, choosing different champions in every tournament that they play.
In the majority of the dota 2 competitions, blink is known to play the wise Invoker and this fact led the opponents to ban the hero in the selection process. Yang often brings out his gaming strategies showing the esports spectators that he can play a wide range of dota 2 characters like the rest of his squad.
