Jian Wei xNova Yap is a Malaysian professional Dota 2 player who has gone from a rookie to one of the top Full Support players in East Asia and the world in three years. As a member of PSG.LGD, Jian won silver and bronze at The International.

Jian started appearing on tournament rosters in 2013, but started playing consistently in 2015. His first serious team, Who2Bet, finished second at the South East Asia Dota 2 Championship. He later joined the Malaysian team WarriorsGaming.Unity.

WarriorsGaming.Unity quickly gained attention by winning The Boston Major 2016 open qualifications and earning a spot in the main stage. The team finished in the top 8 out of 16 and earned $125k. Following this success, they won the majority of tier 3 tournaments and placed third at ROG MASTERS 2017. After his contract expired, Jian moved to China and joined LGD Gaming.

Their first successes included second places at StarLadder i-League Invitational Season 4 and Dota 2 Asia Championships 2018, bringing the club $200k. After that, LGD Gaming became PSG.LGD. Under this brand, xNova and his team won EPICENTER XL, MDL Changsha Major and finished third at the China Dota2 Supermajor. At The International 2018, they were the favorites but finished second behind OG. At The International 2019, PSG.LGD had a great result again, finishing in third place.
