Approx. Total Winnings:
Damien «kpii» Chok (born April 14, 1993) is an Australian player who is currently playing for Leviatán.
Kpii’s professional Dota 2 record began with oceanic teams, including Noxious Gaming and AkmA before landing his first notable competitive result with Can’t Say Wips AU in late 2014, where his team placed second in the Defense of the Australians Spring 2014, the largest ongoing Dota 2 tournament in the Oceanic region at the time.
From August of the same year, he spent difficult 5 months on EHOME.K, who placed second in the Chinese region of The Shanghai Major 2016 Open Qualifiers, unable to make it through.
On the 25th of March 2016, Kpii entered the roster of previous international champions Newbee. After a clean streak through The Manila Major 2016 Chinese Qualifiers, Newbee, with Kpii on position three offlane, pushed to third place where they were eliminated. In July 2016, he won the Nanyang Dota 2 Championships Season 2 and came second in DPL Season 1. At The International 2017, kpii finished runners-up to Team Liquid. Newbee later secured a victory at ESL Genting 2018.
After a disappointing first-round knockout at The International 2018, Kpii left Newbee after spending two years with the roster to help reform Mineski along with febby and JT- in September.
Rise to stardom
At the start of his career, Faith_bian was a pubstar in the Chinese scene. He initially joined Speed Gaming.cn in 2014, before moving to Wings Gaming for the first time in October 2014. Despite a dominant performance in Dota 2 Secondary Pro League, securing them an invite to the Wildcard Qualifiers of DAC 2015, he left the team, but later rejoined the team after Wings’ failure to qualify for The International 2015, alongside bLink and y`.
After a short break, Faith_bian joined EHOME ahead of The International 2017: China Qualifier. Although they failed to qualify, this started a new three-year chapter in Faith_bian’s career with EHOME. Initially, however, although Faith_bian was able to prove himself once again as a player, success eluded often EHOME, establishing themselves as the «best of the rest» in China, but rarely being able to break that wall. In 2019, however, EHOME managed to win The Bucharest Minor, and finished a solid 5th-6th in the ensuing Chongqing Major. However, they were unable to turn this into momentum for The International 2019: China Qualifiers, finishing 3rd and missing out on qualification.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Faith_bian stayed with EHOME, once again stuck behind better teams in China. In September 2020, one of those teams, PSG.LGD, chose to rebuild their team, signing Faith_bian, Ame, y` and coach xiao8, whilst NothingToSay and XinQ joined on loan. This new roster quickly became the strongest team in China, rarely finishing outside of the top 2 in their region. With the return of the Dota Pro Circuit in 2021, PSG.LGD were also able to prove themselves internationally, securing 3rd in the Singapore Major, 1st in the WePlay AniMajor, 2nd at ESL One Fall 2021 and 1st at OGA Dota PIT Invitational.
PSG.LGD entered The International 2021 as one of the favourites. Furthermore, PSG.LGD had seemingly developed the tournament meta by themselves, with Faith_bian showing dominance on Magnus and Lycan, the latter of which was often combined with Ame‘s Tiny, where Faith_bian would farm Aghanim’s Scepter to grant Wolf Bite to Tiny. After a near-perfect Group Stage (finishing 7-1-0), PSG.LGD proceded to steamroll the playoffs to the Grand Final. Here, they met Team Spirit, who had made a run through the lower bracket after being sent there by Invictus Gaming in the first round. Team Spirit had broken the Lycan-Tiny combination by Team Secret in the Lower Bracket Final, setting up an intriguing match.
Team Spirit unexpectedly took a 2-0 lead, choosing to deny Ame his Tiny in both matches. PSG, however, fought-back, taking game 3 thanks to NothingToSay‘s Tinker, and game 4 thanks to an utterly-dominant laning phase. In game 5, Team Spirit chose to bravely give PSG.LGD their Lycan-Tiny combo, in exchange for guaranteeing Collapse his Magnus. Team Spirit were able to successfully-blunt the Lycan Aghanim’s Scepter timing, and slowly gain momentum due to their better late-game scaling on Terrorblade. Faced with few good options, PSG.LGD fought a last-gasp effort at Roshan’s Pit, but it was not enough, with Faith_bian being denied his second Aegis that had looked inevitable.
Despite the heartbreak, PSG.LGD chose to stick together for the upcoming season. Their regional dominance continued, but COVID-19 lockdown restrictions limited their exposure internationally. Nevertheless, they secured 1st at Riyadh Masters 2022, and 2nd at the Arlington Major 2022, sharing the top two spots with old rival Team Spirit. At The International 2022, however, PSG.LGD disappointed, seemingly unable to get a handle on the tournament meta, never hitting their top form. Although they secured an upper bracket spot, they were quickly sent down by Team Secret, where they were eventually eliminated by Team Aster to finish joint 5th-6th.
