eSports Career of Chai “Mushi” Yee Fung

Mushi’s career started back in 2011 when he joined team Orange.  Back in these days, he played the first version of DotA. After some hard times, he decided to retire from the competitive scene for a while. However, he slowly moved back from the manager role to a leader and member of Orange for the second time.

After signing some legendary DotA players in 2012, Orange and Mushi began to build up their reputation as one of the best teams in South East Asia. For a period of 6 months, Chai and his squad managed to win 4 different events.

Valve acknowledged Orange’s performance and the team received a direct invite to the biggest DotA 2 tournament ever at that time, The International 2012.

Orange’s final placement in the tournament was 7/8th after they passed the group stage but were knocked out by LDG in the winner’s bracket. After a win against CLG, Orange’s path to the loser final ended when they met EHOME.

In 2013, Mushi left the team due to the internal problems with another talented player, Ng “YamateH” Wei Poong. Later in the year, he rejoined the squad, after YamateH announced that he would no longer be part of team Orange.

Similarly to the past year, Mushi and his team managed to qualify for the winner’s bracket of the International 2013.  After an intense battle against Natus.Vincere, Orange finished in 3rd place in the most prestigious DotA event of the year.

Right after the International, Mushi transferred from Orange to Team DK. Fung was one of the most valuable players in the upcoming International 2014, with some incredible plays with Death Prophet and Shadow Fiend. Despite all efforts, Team DK was knocked out of TI4 by Vici Gaming with a score of 0-2.

Expected by many, DK was disbanded in the pre-season period.  In 2015 Mushi, along with some of his teammates, joined the new EHOME Squad.  Since EHOME decided to have two squads, Mushi Fung logically decided to be part of the Malaysian division of the organization. With a massive 16 game winning streak, the team was directly invited to The International 2015.  Later that year, the whole team was picked by Fnatic to participate in the tournament under the flag of the organization. TI5 ended badly for Mushi and his teammates since they finished at the bottom of the ranking in 13-16th place.

In 2016, Fnatic had some incredible moments, finishing 5th-6th in both the Manila and Shanghai Majors and then 4th at the International.

After that, Fung moved to his current team, Mineski, with which he won the PGL Dreamhack and finished in 2nd place at StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 3 after a loss to Team Liquid.
