Everything about betting on NewBee

Sasa, let’s dive into who’s been repping NewBee across different esports. From epic Dota 2 clashes to card duels, here’s the lowdown on the lineup.

Dota 2 Veterans

In Dota 2, NewBee rolled with heavy hitters like Xu "Moogy" Han, Yin Rui a.k.a. Aq and Wen "Wizard" Lipeng. By 2020, you had Yan "Waixi" Chao, Zeng Hongda alias Faith, plus Lai "Fonte" Xingyu all battling it out under the same banner.

The glory days at The International 2014 came with Zhang "xiao8" Ning, Zhang "Mu" Pan, Chen "Hao" Zhihao and Wang Jiao, aka Banana. SanSheng and ZSMJ (Gong Jian) rounded out the all-Chinese lineup that shocked the world.

League of Legends Crew

Over in League of Legends, you’ve seen stars like Fang Qi-Fan (Skye), Bao V Bo, Hong Hao (HanXuan) and Zhu Yong-Quan (Quan). Plus names such as Lei "Corn" Wen, Zhang Hong-Wei (Mor), Li "Dream6" Xiang and Lin Wei-Xiang (Lwx). Later talents like Crisp, Happy and Vasili also joined before the roster split.

Hearthstone Lineup

When it comes to card slingers, NewBee’s Hearthstone squad featured Wu "Wayne" Wei, Han "Prince" Xiao, Feng Jianbin (Hulk), Shen Yang (God Slayer), Zhang "lovelychook" Bohan and Luo Siyuam (Kismet). Hu "NaiGoD" Chao, Jiang Xu (Bubble), Song Ming (LonelyGod) and Sung "Richard Knight" Bing rounded off this all-Chinese roster.

StarCraft II Racers

Though small, the StarCraft II team had five pros: Baek Dong Jun (Dear) from South Korea, Canada’s Sasha "Scarlett" Hostyn plus Chinese stars Wang Yulun (Shana), Li "TIME" Peinan and Hu "Top" Tao. They disbanded in 03/2020.

Warcraft Warriors

NewBee’s Warcraft lineup kicked off in 2018 but wrapped up in 04/2020. Guo "eer0" Zixiang teamed up with Koreans LawLiet (Jo Ju Yeon) and Park "Lyn" Joon.

Dota 2 Breakthrough

Back in early 2014, rumors swirled when Xiao8 hinted on QQ about a "Dream Team 2" after three years at LGD. Weeks later, this secret crew—xiao8, Mu, ChuaN, Hao and Faith—entered the Sina Cup Season 3, marking NewBee’s big reveal.

By snagging direct invites at The International, they proved themselves dark horses, toppling giants like Vici Gaming and carving their name into esports history.

LoL Highlights

In the 2017 LPL Spring, NewBee went 6–10, snagged a playoff spot and upset Invictus Gaming 3–1 before EDward Gaming sent them packing 3–0. Summer was similar: 9–7 in groups, a clean sweep of Snake esports then a quarterfinal exit to Team WE.

NewBee’s legacy lives on thanks to epic TI showings—picking up 1st at TI4 and 2nd at TI7. Tiny Kenyan LANs are hot, but nothing beats watching global titans clash on the big stage. Even with new local squads like 3G Esports emerging at Nairobi events, NewBee remains a benchmark for rising teams.
