Career

Wang's gaming career began in the NA Challenger Series, playing for teams such as Team Frostbite, Vortex and Dream Team.[https://www.thescoreesports.com/lol/news/8495-of-bard-and-biofrost-finding-a-fit-with-tsm "Of Bard and Biofrost: Finding a fit with TSM"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160702220704/http://www.thescoreesports.com/lol/news/8495-of-bard-and-biofrost-finding-a-fit-with-tsm |date=July 2, 2016 }}. Following the departure of YellOwStaR after the 2016 NA LCS Spring Split, Wang tried out for Team SoloMid's vacant support position.[http://www.dailydot.com/esports/team-solomid-biofrost-tsm/ "TSM names its first trialist, and there's a good chance you haven't heard of him"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160710082645/http://www.dailydot.com/esports/team-solomid-biofrost-tsm/ |date=July 10, 2016 }}. May 2, 2016. He would join TSM on their Korean bootcamp, eventually being chosen as their starting support for the 2016 Summer NA LCS Split.[http://www.thescoreesports.com/lol/news/7585 "Biofrost through TSM's first phase of tryouts"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160707064741/http://www.thescoreesports.com/lol/news/7585 |date=July 7, 2016 }}. Despite his rookie status, TSM finished the split in first place with a 17–1 record, dropping a single match to Phoenix1.[https://www.riftherald.com/2016/7/25/12270926/tsm-phoenix1-upset-breakdown-rengar-inori "Anatomy of an upset: How Phoenix1 (and Rengar) took down TSM"]. In the playoffs, TSM would go on to defeat CLG 3–0 and Cloud9 3–1. Additionally, Wang received the award for Rookie of the Split.{{cite web|url=https://www.lolesports.com/en_US/articles/and-winners-2016-lcs-summer-split-awards-are|title=LoL Esports|website=www.lolesports.com|accessdate=August 19, 2018}}

After such a dominant Summer Split, expectations for Wang and TSM were high for the 2016 League of Legends World Championship. The team was placed in Group D, alongside Samsung Galaxy, Royal Never Give Up, and Splyce.{{cite web|url=https://www.riftherald.com/2016/9/10/12872024/lol-worlds-2016-groups-teams|title=Here are the groups for 2016 Worlds|date=September 10, 2016 |publisher=|accessdate=August 19, 2018}} However, the team was unable to advance past the group stage, finishing in third with a record of 3–3.

In 2017, Wang continued to play for TSM, finishing first in the regular season and playoffs of both the Spring and Summer Splits. He also attended the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational and 2017 League of Legends World Championship, failing to advance past the group stages of both tournaments. Following the disappointing showing at Worlds 2017, TSM decided to rework its League of Legends roster, dropping Wang in favor of European import, mithy.{{cite web|url=https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/tsm-signs-zven-mithy-replace-doublelift-biofrost-18974|title=TSM signs Zven and mithy to replace Doublelift and Biofrost – Dot Esports|date=November 24, 2017|publisher=|accessdate=August 19, 2018}} TSM then sold Wang's contract to Counter Logic Gaming, whom Wang would play for in 2018.{{cite web|url=https://dotesports.com/league-of-legends/news/clg-biofrost-reignover-2018-full-roster-18999|title=CLG signs Biofrost and Reignover, reveals full roster – Dot Esports|date=November 27, 2017|publisher=|accessdate=August 19, 2018}} In the 2018 NA LCS Spring Split, Wang and CLG would finish in 7th place, narrowly missing the playoffs.

Wang announced he would retire from professional League of Legends for the 2021 Spring season.{{cite news |last1=Rutledge |first1=Caroline |title=TSM's Biofrost to Take a Break From Competitive League of Legends |url=https://www.thegamer.com/tsm-biofrost-break-competitive-league-of-legends/ |access-date=May 3, 2021 |work=TheGamer |date=December 5, 2020}}
