NewBee's strongest games

Dota 2

NewBee came into the limelight in early 2014. This was during a Chinese reshuffle prior to the kickoff of The International's fourth tournament. The team was then called "Dream Team 2." Rumors of a new gaming outfit were sparked by captain xiao8's post on QQ where he said, "New start in 2014 after three years in LGD, forever Dream 5."

In just a matter of weeks, the team announced that they would participate in the Sina Cup's third season. The roster, which was still secret at the time of the announcement, later revealed Mu, ChuaN, Hao, and Faith as the other members alongside Xiao. The latter four were former members of Invictus Gaming and TongFu.
League of Legends

The team won six times and lost on ten occasions to finish 4th in their 2017 LPL Spring Season group. They still gained a playoff slot where they emerged 3-1 winners against Invictus Gaming. They were then beaten 3-0 in the quarters by EDward Gaming.

In the Demancia Cup (2017), they came a woeful 13th after falling 1-2 to Young Glory. Things did not improve much in the summer, when they won nine and lost seven, finishing third in the group stage. A 3-0 win over Snake esports in the playoffs was again ruined by a 0-3 loss to Team WE in the quarters.
