Lynn Vision bench flying after Asia RMR failure

The Chinese organization made a change just one week after missing out on its home Major.

Lynn Vision has moved Peiqi "⁠flying⁠" Song to the bench as it evaluates the team's future lineup arrangement, the Chinese organization announced on Weibo.

The change comes one week after Lynn Vision fell just short of qualifying for the Perfect World Shanghai Major, exiting the Asia RMR in fourth place.

The Chinese team narrowly lost to DRILLAS in their opening match before rebounding in the lower bracket with wins over Alter Ego and TALON, but capitulated entirely in their qualifying match against FlyQuest to miss out on a "once-in-a-lifetime" chance to attend their home Major.

GUM on the home Major: "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing"

flying barely spent six months on Lynn Vision's active roster, only officially joining the team in June after a successful trial period.

He averaged a 0.96 rating over 59 maps during his tenure (1.07 rating over eight maps at the RMR) and helped the team win ESL Challenger League Season 47 APAC to qualify for ESL Pro League Season 20, where they went out in last place.

The 23-year-old spent the early months of 2024 on the sidelines after Wings Up disbanded in January, and is again left sitting out as Lynn Vision re-assesses its roster heading into the new year.

Lynn Vision's roster is now:

Zhe "⁠Westmelon⁠" Niu
Sike "⁠z4kr⁠" Zhang
Junjie "⁠EmiliaQAQ⁠" Tang
Jianye "⁠afufu⁠" Wang

Yifei "⁠GUM⁠" Dai (coach)

Peiqi "⁠flying⁠" Song (benched)
