Titan Esports Club (TEC) have bolstered their ranks with the signings of two new players Chen “TvirusLuke” Cheng-ching and Ding “Coco” Dajian.
CHINA – Titan Esports Club (TEC) have locked in their starting lineup for the 2025 VCT CN Stage 1, signing former Dragon Ranger Gaming player Chen “TvirusLuke” Cheng-ching and ex-Chosen Clique Gaming player Ding “Coco” Dajian. With these additions, TEC now have a seven-player roster alongside two coaching staff members.
TvirusLuke links up with Titan Esports Club after two seasons with Dragon Ranger Gaming, where he was part of their 2023 VCT Ascension CN victory and qualification for VALORANT Masters Shanghai not long after. However, the team struggled towards the end of 2024, finishing at the very bottom of the VCT CN Regular Season standings.
Despite this, TEC showed resilience in the 2025 VCT CN Kickoff, making a solid lower bracket run by eliminating TYLOO, Nova Esports, and FunPlus Phoenix before ultimately falling to eventual champions EDward Gaming. His departure from DRG was seemingly foreshadowed during the CN Evolution Series Act I, where he was absent from the starting lineup.

The 25-year-old is expected to take Dynamite’s spot in the starting five, following the latter’s debut for TEC in the 2024 OFF//SEASON. With Dynamite’s performances falling short statistically, TvirusLuke appears to be the most likely candidate to be rotated out of the lineup.
Completing the roster is Coco, who joins from tier-two team Chosen Clique Gaming. With Coco, CCG qualified for the 2024 VCT Ascension CN and secured a third-place finish after a hard-fought lower final against eventual champions XLG. While details on Coco are limited, his versatility stood out during that particular series against the Ascension CN winners, where he played five different agents—a flexibility TEC will be hoping to utilize when needed.
With a history of underwhelming finishes in the CN league since the start, TEC seem more determined than ever to climb out of the lower ranks. Their best showing came in the 2024 VCT CN Kickoff, where they finished sixth. Over time, TEC have been bolstering their roster with more experienced talent, including former EDward Gaming player Guo “Haodong” Haodong and coach Lo “AfteR” Wen-hsin.
Titan Esports Club will field the following roster for the 2025 VCT CN Stage 1:
- Goo “Rb” Sang-min
- Li “B1ack” Songtai
- Han “Abo” Bohao
- Guo “Haodong” Haodong
- Zhao “dynamite” Zihao
- Chen “TvirusLuke” Cheng-ching
- Ding “Coco” Dajian
- Lo “AfteR” Wen-hsin (Coach)
- Liu “3water” Miao (Coach)
