Roster changes in the professional Chinese Valorant scene are a rare occurrence, and today it has been announced that Tang "TZH" Zhehao is joining the current winners of the League of Contenders, Dragon Ranger Gaming, as the seventh player.

In their official Weibo account, representatives of Dragon Ranger Gaming reported that after discussing all the details with the former club of the player, FunPlus Phoenix, a decision was made to buy him out. The leadership of the new team welcomes Tang to their family and draws an interesting analogy from Chinese mythology about the phoenix and the dragon, referring to the names and logos of both teams.

After friendly communication, Tang "TZH" Zhehao has joined the DRG Fearless Contract Division. The dragon and the phoenix originally symbolized auspiciousness, but now the phoenix transforms into a dragon. In the upcoming new season, we are eagerly waiting for DRG·nizhaoTZH and the little green dragon to rise into the mountains and shine brightly! Let's go hand in hand and create brilliance together.

As mentioned above, Tang "TZH" Zhehao spent the last competitive season with FunPlus Phoenix. Together with the team, the esports athlete even made it to the world championship, but failed and finished in 13th-16th place. After that, Tang participated in all three stages of the VALORANT China Evolution Series, where he took third places in the first and last tournaments.
