“It seems that ShaLun is the best example that age doesn’t matter in esports. We are giving him a team, mentors, and the right ecosystem. From there—who knows: maybe he’ll be that guy in the highlights soon, lifting a Major trophy and blowing up the internet”

It appears that the young player won’t yet be competing in tournaments, but the organization will focus on mentoring him and supporting his development. Notably, ShaLun has been playing since the age of 5.5, and in addition streams on Twitch, where he has already gathered more than 20,000 fans.
