His journey started in December 2015, when he joined Astral Authority as a mid-laner. Following his rather short spell at his first-ever professional team, the American moved to Samadder Gaming, Solaris and Phoenix 1, where he won a Rookie of the Split award in 2017. That drew the attention of NA heavyweight Team SoloMid, who decided to sign the young prospect in November 2017 to replace Dennis &#8220;Svenskeren&#8221; Johnsen as their new starting jungler. <\/p>\n<p>During his time at TSM, MikeYeung achieved a third-place finish at NA LCS 2018 Spring, which remains his biggest career achievement. That was, however, a rather disappointing finish for TSM, who decided to demote Yeung to their academy team. There he remained until November 2018, when he was acquired by the Team Liquid Academy.<\/p>\n<p>While under the Liquid banner, MikeYeung finished third at NA Academy 2019 Spring and went on to earn a third\/fourth spot in the NA Academy 2019 Spring playoffs. In that tournament he proved a key player, showcasing his wide champion pool, great vision and high-tempo playstyle.<\/p>\n<p>Those impressive performances with the Team Liquid Academy did not go unnoticed by Echo Fox, who decided to bring MikeYeung into their main team to replace Lee &#8220;Rush&#8221; Yoon-jae after a disappointing start to the LCS Summer Split.<\/p>\n<p>Echo Fox decided on an unusual way to let the world know about their new addition. Releasing a video titled &#8220;MAJOR Echo Fox ANNOUNCEMENT&#8221;, they hit two birds with one stone by unveiling their new merch and their new jungler at the same time.<\/p>\n<div class=\" responsive-embed responsive-embed-16x9 embed-youtube\"><iframe title=\"MAJOR Echo Fox ANNOUNCEMENTS!!\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kgVMQ_R7sl8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Only time will tell whether MikeYeung is the right fit, but the move offers both the player and his new team a fresh start.<\/p>\n<p><center><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/news\/\" title=\"Latest online gaming news\">MORE ESPORTS NEWS<\/a><\/strong><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Team Liquid has announced that their League of Legends academy player Michael &#8220;MikeYeung&#8221; Yeung has left the organization to join LCS rivals Echo Fox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":7681,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[194,4,24,259,715,260,128],"class_list":["post-7677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-echo-fox","tag-featured","tag-league-of-legends","tag-lol","tag-michael-mikeyeung-yeung","tag-na","tag-team-liquid"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7677"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7677"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7677\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14145,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7677\/revisions\/14145"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7681"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7677"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7677"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7677"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
