SiuFatBB open to offers for next season outside Wolves Esports
After Wolves’ collapse post-Toronto peak, SiuFatBB has been allowed to explore options as roster rebuild continues.
CHINA – Pong “SiuFatBB” Ka-hei has been granted permission by Wolves Esports to explore his options for next season, the player announced on Twitter.
This likely signals an imminent departure from Wolves Esports, or at the very least a move away from the roster for the upcoming season. SiuFatBB said he is open to all regions, with a preference to continue as an in-game leader or second caller.
SiuFatBB first joined Wolves Esports in May 2024 ahead of Stage 2. Although the team did not find immediate success, the offseason brought trophy wins at the WALL-E Cup and Shanghai Esports Masters 2024 after some roster adjustments with the arrivals of Tyler "juicy" Aeria, Liang "Lysoar" You-hao, and head coach Chong “Fayde” Hoc Wah
Their breakthrough came the following year, when they finished third in Stage 1 in Beijing and secured qualification for VALORANT Masters Toronto.
At Masters Toronto, Wolves Esports delivered one of the most surprising international runs of the season. Entering as underdogs, they managed to defeat several established teams, including Team Heretics, Bilibili Gaming, RRQ, and Gen.G, to secure a third-place finish. Their run was eventually halted by losses to the eventual finalists Paper Rex and FNATIC, but the performance firmly placed Wolves on the international map.
For SiuFatBB, who served as both captain and in-game leader, the tournament also became a defining moment in his public profile. Beyond his in-game decision-making, he drew attention for his emotional and reflective media presence throughout the event, often speaking candidly about leadership pressure and team belief during high-stakes moments.
Following Wolves’ elimination in Toronto, he said: “I think my team is amazing, despite all the voices we’ve faced. I want to thank myself for not giving up even when there were no results to back me up. Thank you to the part of me that never gave up.
So making it here today, I’m really grateful to my teammates for believing in me. Finishing third this time, I’ve seen a lot of areas where we can improve. We could’ve done even better, but I’m still really happy [with what we've achieved this time.
Everyone here gave me so much energy and confidence to keep going. Thank you all.”
However, the momentum from Toronto did not carry forward into the domestic circuit. Since their international peak, Wolves Esports have struggled to maintain competitiveness in VCT CN, with results sharply declining across subsequent stages. The team finished 11th–12th in Stage 2, dropped to 9th–10th in the following split, and again placed 11th–12th in Stage 1. Since their last appearance at Masters Toronto, WOL have recorded only two wins in VCT CN matches.
If SiuFatBB departs, Liu “Spring” Chun-ting will be the only remaining player from the Toronto-era roster still active within Wolves Esports. Several of his former teammates have since moved on across the ecosystem: Huang “Yuicaw” Yung-chieh joined JDG Esports, Liang “Lysoar” You-hao found renewed success by qualifying for Masters London with Xi Lai Gaming, and Tyler “juicy” Aeria continues competing with Any Questions in the CN tier-two scene.
His departure also comes after the full coaching staff exited, including head coach Chong “Fayde” Hoc Wah, assistant coach Viernes “Maark” Benette, and analyst Sushant “Ominous” Jha. Alexander “alexRr” Frisch, formerly of Nova Esports, has since taken over as head coach.
“I remain highly motivated, ambitious, and committed to competing at the highest level.”
