ViCi sign HZ

ViCi Gaming have confirmed the signing of former TyLoo member Zhen "HZ" Huang, who will replace ZhiHong "aumaN" Liu on the starting roster.

Currently ranked 50th in the world, ViCi revealed on the Chinese social media platform Weibo that they have acquired former TYLOO member Zhen "⁠HZ⁠" Huang, who will make his debut tonight against New4 for Letou's $12,000 Invitational.

The Chinese organization did not specify who he would replace in the announcement, but HLTV.org has learned the 27-year-old will take the place of ZhiHong "⁠aumaN⁠" Liu on the active lineup, with the latter moving to a substitute position in the team.

HZ joins ViCi

HZ was last seen standing in for Eclipse at FCDB Cup 2017 (7-8th placing) in November and CS:GO Super League 2017 Finals (1st placing) last month, following his removal during TYLOO's bootcamp in Poland at the end of September.

ViCi have the following lineup for 2018:

China Bin "⁠Savage⁠" Liu
China Zhuo "⁠advent⁠" Liang
China WeiJie "⁠zhokiNg⁠" Zhong
Hong Kong WingHei "⁠Freeman⁠" Cheung
China Zhen "⁠HZ⁠" Huang

China BingYuan "⁠tb⁠" Li (coach)
China ZhiHong "⁠aumaN⁠" Liu (backup)

Makes sense because aumaN is kinda toxic. Last time he got benched because he was very toxic according to his teamm8s. Kinda agree bcs sometimes he was kinda toxic if you watch his stream

He is a long time friend and teammate of Savage so he won’t get benched unless he chooses to.

He was alright on Tyloo but he is easily upgradeable, Bondik and Xccurate for example are both better and they both have been standing in for Tyloo in HZ's original spot
