Vici Gaming (VG) is a Chinese professional eSports organization based in Shanghai. They have teams competing in Dota 2, League of Legends, StarCraft II, WarCraft III, FIFA, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Their Dota 2 team has been victorious and top contender in numerous tournaments, some of the most notable ones being runner ups at The International 2014.
Vici Gaming was founded on October 21, 2012 with the help of “Fengdidi”, who also had previously played in PanDarea Gaming under the name PanPan, handpicking highly skilled players that were highly ranked on the Chinese DotA ladder at the time.
The players had no previous professional experience at the time with the exception of sydm who had played under the banner of TyLoo. Their mid lane player Cty had shown promise by winning a 1v1 tournament organized by 2009, in which he beat famous players like Ferrari_430, Sylar, Hao, and other top Chinese players shortly before getting recruited.
The team qualified for the 2012 G-League Season 2 by beating Noah's Ark in the preliminaries.
On January 28, Vici signed Greedy, captained by the famous YaphetS as their online/backup squad. The rest of the team consisted of xiaotuji, Maybe, nL_Ks, and CaptainGiveMeBall. They were focused on Dota, although they have since expanded to Dota 2.
On March 1, Vici signed ZSMJ, who built a Dota 2 squad. It was believed that ZSMJ brought some of his teammates from his project with Chisbug with him to Vici Gaming, of which one is definitely Sgua_Li. In the following weeks, Vici Gaming made some roster adjustments, dropping some players in private while sending out a public notice for interested players to contact them.
On March 28, it was announced that carry player ZSMJ replaced mid player sydm and that former carry Cty picked up the mid role.
In June 2013, following elimination from The International 2013 qualifiers and a disappointing finish outside playoff places in DSL, Vici Gaming announced the departure of team executive, PandaPanPan, and team manager, Nada. Their replacement was mikasa, who had played as a substitute for VG.
