Bio
Ki Chuan chYuaN Eng is a professional Dota 2 player from Malaysia who plays in the midrange position. He is known for being considered very promising from the very beginning of his career, and he is also not afraid to try his hand in new regions.
His professional path on the Dota 2 chYuaN scene began in 2017. The player himself admitted that this happened after he met his love in the game and moved to another city. His career developed rapidly - after a few months of playing for stacks and dash-3 teams he was signed by Geek Fam.
After a year of playing at the dash-2 level in Southeast Asia, the player was noticed by the top squads in the region. At the next Reshuffle he was honored to play in Lotac with local legends YamateH and Ohaiyo, as well as Raven and skem, who had already established themselves at the highest level. Very quickly it became clear that the least known of the five chYuaN was too good for this lineup.
The next stage of his career was an invitation to Team Aster. The Malaysian didn't get lost in China, having been selected with the team at the MDL Chengdu Major and winning the StarLadder ImbaTV Dota 2 Minor Season 3. At the time, he was only 20 years old and was on the roster of young players who could be stars next year alongside gpk, Save- and 23savage.
But in 2020, chYuaN made a bet on another aspect of his life: family. He got married and disappeared from the cybersports scene's radar for a year, though he never announced a hiatus and occasionally played as a substitute or in packs. He didn't fully return to pro-Dota until mid-2021, when he joined Fnatic. During six months in the team he managed to win the regional qualification for The International 2021 and take 9-12th place at the main tournament in the industry.
After that, chYuaN didn't play at a competitive level for a year, and then the pause was more like a full-fledged departure from the scene, but before the start of DPC 2023 he decided to return. This time he had to start from the bottom - the second division of Western Europe with Alliance. With the new team, the player tried to qualify for The International 2022, played at BetBoom Dacha 2023, taking eleventh place, and also tried to qualify for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, but failed to qualify for the main part of the tournament.
- December 14, 2023 - chYuaN joined Talon Esports.
Under a new tag for himself Ki Chuan started the year with a lot of qualifiers for major championships, but managed to perform only at Elite League 2024 and ESL One Birmingham 2024, showing an average result. In the summer, the team received a direct invitation to the closed qualification at the Riyadh Masters 2024, where they lost the decisive match of Blacklist International in the lower bracket.
