FunPlus Phoenix (also known as FunPlus X or FPX) is a Chinese esports organization owned by FunPlus.

History[edit]

FunPlus Phoenix entered League of Legends at the end of 2017, forming the roster of GimGoon, Y1HAN, Bing, Lwx and Crisp. The roster made their debut at the 2017 Demacia Cup, where they beat Black8 2-0 before losing against Team WE in a 2-1 fashion, resulting in the end of their first tournament in a 9-15th place. During the 2018 LPL Spring split, Cool joined the team halfway through the season to replace Bing. FunPlus Phoenix narrowly missed out on playoffs, with an equal record to Team WE at 4/-/5. In the 2018 Summer Season, FunPlus Phoenix made playoffs despite their 8/-/11 regular season record. In playoffs, they lost 3-1 against the eventual 3rd place team JD Gaming, resulting in a 7-8th place tournament exit.

Heading into 2019, FunPlus Phoenix their new roster consisted of GimGoon, Tian, Doinb, Lwx and Crisp. This team would place 3rd in the 2019 Spring Season, and with the same 5-man team remaining, they secured their first LPL title with a 3-1 win against Royal Never Give Up in the 2019 Summer Finals. This secured them a direct ticket to the Worlds 2019 group stage, where they beat Fnatic, Invictus Gaming and G2 Esports to secure the team's first ever international title and China's second Worlds title in a row. In 2020, Khan joined FunPlus Phoenix. They finished the Spring Season in 3rd place, with the team losing against JD Gaming and winning Invictus Gaming in playoffs. Heading into summer, the same roster remained, which eventually fell short in the LPL 2020 Summer Season, placing 7-8th following a playoff loss against Victory Five. Despite qualifying for the 2020 Regional Finals, FunPlus Phoenix would not make Worlds due to a 2-3 loss against Invictus Gaming.

Two weeks into the 2021 season, it was announced that Tian would take a step back from the starting roster due to injury, with Bo taking his place. On February 22nd, Bo was suspended for matchfixing, which resulted in a temporary return by Tian, before Beichuan was promoted to replace him. After a one month hiatus, Tian returned to the starting roster against Bilibili Gaming, bringing in some much needed stability. Despite placing 5th in the regular season with a 11/-/5 record, FunPlus Phoenix managed to place second in playoffs, losing 1-3 against Royal Never Give Up in the finals. The Summer Season went a lot smoother, with the team securing the first seed heading into playoffs. Despite that, they once again came short in the finals, losing 1-3 against EDward Gaming. Despite this, FPX secured a ticket to Worlds 2021. At Worlds, FunPlus Phoenix started their first group stage week with a 2-1 record, only losing against DAMWON Gaming. In week 2 they lost all their games, resulting in a 13-16th place exit behind DAMWON Gaming, Rogue and Cloud9.
