ImageChinese Counter-Strike legend Yang Ke Fei, better known as Jungle, has returned to CS. The two time WEG champion will be playing for SC.United, who are local to him.



Jungle has returned to Counter-Strike to play for SC.United who are based in his native Sichuan province of China. The team will be competing in the China Counter-Strike League and at the impending ESL Global Challenge Chengdu which will take place from the 1st to the 3rd of October.

Jungle is best known as the all-star dynamo behind the wNv.gm teams which made such a stir in 2005 and 2006. Back at a time when no Asian Counter-Strike team had ever come up with a significant major event placing Jungle and his compatriots shocked the CS world with a victory at season 3 of WEG (World Esports Games)

That victory was followed up with another at the appropriately titled WEG Masters event which sought to put together multiple championship teams from different events from previous years into a single competition. At the event, which took place in May 2006 in Hangzhou, China, wNv were able to best the ESWC champions compLexity and take home an incredible $70,000 for their efforts.

Despite these impressive victories on Asian soil wNv has been a team which found difficulty reproducing that kind of form in events overseas. Those underperformances were compounded by wNv facing difficulties obtaining visas for all of their players to every event they wished to attend. Jungle went on to play for Wuhan Dragons in the CGS where CS:Source was the game of choice.

Famed for his unstoppable AWPing and precision USP headshotting fans will no doubt be eager to see more play from this Chinese phenom regardless of the level of competition his team can rise to.
