Rich Chinese heir pulls a Tony Stark by playing on his own esports team
It doesn't get more Crazy Rich Asians than the son of billionaire Wang Jianlin
He bragged: “What’s the use of owning a race car if you don’t drive it?”
Well, what’s the use of owning an esports team if you don’t get to play in it?
China’s most eligible bachelor Wang Sicong did just that on Sunday, replacing one of his players on Invictus Gaming to play a professional League of Legends game himself.
And he became the oldest player in LPL’s history… at the ripe old age of, uh, 30.

Oh, that dog also owns eight iPhone 7s.

Wang prides himself on his ability to offend. He regularly trades barb with A-list celebrities. The bachelor also said that his girlfriend must have big boobs.
To no one’s surprise, Wang -- or “Principal Wang” as he is known in the game -- got schooled by the opponent in his position and had to be carried by his teammates.
The League of Legends World Championship schedule is out!
While Wang dealt 16k damage as Jhin in the bot-lane, his opponent -- VG’s Martin, who played Ezreal -- doled out a whopping 52K damage in the same lane. But because VG’s lineup is a band of squishy champions, especially in the late-game, IG staged an awesome comeback with Wang’s teammates outputting heavy damage.
(It’s worth noting that Wang’s team has the league’s best-record of 15-1 -- and their opponents, Vici Gaming, has the league’s worst record of 1-15.)
Wang’s final kill-death-assist record stood at 4/5/10. It is fair to say that he was not a total embarrassment and managed to hold his ground in about half the battles.
Since League of Legends games go by a best-of-three format, Wang did not participate in the second game, which IG also won.
“But this is a dream comes true for me,” he added.
Upon hearing after this statement, most gamers know exactly what Wang is doing: He’s going out on top by holding on to a 100% win rate.
