Vici Gaming is a Chinese esports organization founded on October 21, 2012, by former professional player and manager PandaPanPan. Initially, the club focused on developing inexperienced young talents, but within a few years it became one of the leading organizations on the Chinese Dota 2 scene.

The inaugural roster consisted of Tong Sydm Junjie, Xu Cty Ziyang, Xu XTT Xiongtao, Xu Fy Linsen, and Lu Fenrir Chao. At the time, most of the players were virtually unknown to the wider audience, but they quickly gained recognition through strong performances in online tournaments.

2012-2013

Within the first months of its existence, the team qualified for G-League 2012 Season 2, one of China's most prestigious tournaments.

In early 2013, the organization signed legendary Chinese carry Gong ZSMJ Jian, who initially joined the academy roster but was quickly promoted to the main lineup, replacing Sydm thanks to his impressive performances. Shortly afterward, the club decided to keep only one roster and disbanded its remaining divisions.

The team failed to qualify for The International 2013, and following the disappointing qualifiers, PandaPanPan and part of the organization's management left the club.

At the same time, the roster underwent major changes. Fy, XTT and Cty also departed, while Bai TuTu Fan, Xie Super Junhao, and Bai rOtK Fan, formerly of LGD Gaming, joined the team. Later that autumn, Liu Sylar Jiajun replaced TuTu as the team's carry.

At the end of the year, Vici Gaming won EMS One Fall 2013, securing the organization's first major championship title.

2014

The 2014 season marked a major breakthrough for the organization. The roster consistently achieved strong results at international tournaments, while Yao QQQ Yi joined the team as head coach.

The highlight of the season was reaching the grand final of The International 2014. During the tournament, the Chinese squad fought its way through the lower bracket, eliminating Cloud9, Team DK, and Evil Geniuses before losing 1-3 to Newbee in the grand final and finishing as runners-up. Despite the defeat, many fans still consider this lineup to be the strongest in the organization's history.

Following TI4, rOtK and Sylar left the team. They were replaced by Dominik Black^ Reitmeier and Daryl iceiceice Koh Pei Xiang. With the new roster, Vici Gaming won ESL One New York 2014, The Summit 2 and i-League Season 2, ending the year with three major titles.

2015

In February 2015, Black^ left the team. One month later, The International 2014 champion Chen Hao Zhigao joined the roster as his replacement.

Despite the roster change, Vici Gaming continued to deliver strong performances, winning StarLadder StarSeries Season 12 and finishing fourth at The International 2015.

After the season, Hao transferred to Newbee, while legendary carry Xu BurNIng Zhilei became the team's new position one player.

2016

The new season proved to be highly inconsistent. Despite having BurNIng, iceiceice, Super and Fy on the roster, the team's results gradually declined. After a disappointing performance at The International 2016, the organization carried out a major rebuild and promoted the former academy lineup, Vici Gaming Reborn, to the main roster.

In the spring of 2016, the organization introduced another lineup built around rOtK, Cty, Zhang Hym Zhiqiang, and Ding Dy Kun. A little later, Liu Sylar Jiajun also returned to the team.

Despite featuring many experienced players, the roster failed to produce consistent results. Following another disappointing season, the organization once again decided to rebuild.

In the autumn, the main roster was almost entirely replaced by players from Vici Gaming Reborn. Zhou Yang Haiyang, Xu Fy Linsen, Zhang DDC Zhiheng, and Tang END Wenjun joined the lineup.

However, this project also failed to meet expectations. By the end of the year, Fy had left the team, and Vici Gaming continued searching for another competitive roster.

2017-2018

Over the next two years, Vici Gaming continued searching for a stable roster. During a series of rebuilds, Zhang Paparazi Jun, Zeng Ori Jiaoyang, and Zhou Yang Haiyang joined the team. Zhang LaNm Zhicheng became the new head coach after joining on loan from EHOME.

It was around this core of players that the organization's next competitive roster was built.

In 2018, Vici Gaming finished second at ESL One Katowice 2018 and secured a top-three finish at the MDL Changsha Major.

2019

Vici Gaming's true resurgence came during the 2019 season after signing Pan Fade Yi and Ding Dy Cong, while keeping the Paparazi and Ori duo. The Chinese squad won DreamLeague Season 11 and EPICENTER Major 2019, becoming one of the strongest teams in the world that year.

At The International 2019, the team finished 5th–6th, but once again fell short of competing for the championship.

The disappointing TI9 result led to another roster rebuild. Fade, Paparazi, Yang, and rOtK left the team. They were replaced by Ren old eLeVeN Yangwei, Yang Erika Shaohan, and Nuengnara 23savage Teeramahanon.

2020-2021

After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the transition to online competition, the team's performances gradually declined. Despite retaining part of its star-studded lineup, Vici Gaming could no longer consistently challenge for titles at the biggest international tournaments.

After their contracts expired, Dy, Pyw, and old eLeVeN left the roster. In November 2021, the organization introduced an entirely new lineup featuring Guo Xm Hongcheng, Zhao Yds. Jiayi, Li Irving Jian, Chen Outside Guanhong, who had previously played for Team Yang, and coach Wang Maps Yutian.

2022-2023

The next two years became a period of crisis. The organization repeatedly rebuilt its roster in an attempt to return to the top of the Chinese Dota 2 scene, but failed to regain its former success.

In May 2023, the management decided to disband the Dota 2 roster and place the division on inactive status. At that point, many believed Vici Gaming's history in the discipline had come to an end.

2025-2026

In May 2025, the organization unexpectedly returned to the professional scene. The new roster was built around former stars of the club's golden era — Zhang Paparazi Chengjun, Zeng Ori Jiaoyang, Zhou Yang Haiyang, and Ding Dy Cong. They were later joined by Hu Kaka Liangzhi.

Despite the star-studded lineup, the team failed to qualify for The International 2025. The project was once again put on hold, but later that year Vici Gaming unveiled a completely rebuilt roster featuring Guo Xm Hongcheng, Zhang Faith_bian Ruida, Lin planet Hao, and Zhang y` Yiping.

In 2026, after the addition of Zhao XinQ Zixing, the team won ESL Challenger CN Season 3 Powered by ACL and earned an invitation to Esports World Cup 2026, where it finished 4th, eliminating Team Falcons along the way.
