Dire Wolves today announced the signing of Chinese player Weichen "Reeps96" Wu, who will replace Huang "HARAM3E" Chih-hang. HARAM3E will move to an assistant coach role.
Reeps96 will be moving to Thailand to play, as China is not an official region of APAC South (or even APAC North).
Owing to the fact he has played in China so far, not much is known about Reeps96. However, he featured in the China Community Invitational for Team Chillax against Cloud9 (now SANDBOX Gaming) in Aug. 2021.
There, he got a 27-27 K-D on Zofia and Kaid with two clutches in the 0-3 loss.
He also secured an Ranked MMR of over 10,000 in the previous in-game season.
Dire Wolves had a disappointing Stage 2 of the APAC South Division, where they only finished in fifth place to follow up a flawless 7-0-0-0 Stage 1. With the signing of the "Asian Spoit", as described by their coach Odin "Odin" Hempel, they are looking to fight back to the top of the table once more.
