Invictus Gaming are coming off a fourth-place finish and $2.4 million payday at The International 10 last month. Other highlights of kaka’s tenure included a victory at the ONE Esports Singapore Major in April.
The 29-year-old kaka had been with the team since 2019. The 25-year-old Fade, also from China, was previously with EHOME.
Fade joins a roster that includes Jin “flyfly” Zhiyi and Zhou “Emo” Yi of China and Thiay “JT-” Jun Wen and Chan “Oli” Chon Kien of Malaysia.
