Asian side Talon Esports have had a decent season where they have made their mark both regionally and internationally. Their success in the Southeast Asian First Division allowed them to qualify for Lima Major 2023, where they won the bronze medal and earned $75,000. A good performance at two DreamLeague tournaments ensured a trip to the Riyadh Masters 2023. That's where Talon Esports achieved the most success over the past year. Third place in the standings earned Talon an impressive $1,700,000 in prize money. At The International 2023, the Asian club did not achieve the desired results and finished in 9th-12th place, earning $67,569. After that, the Talon Esports roster moved to Aurora Gaming, and a week later the team's management unveiled a new five-player roster that would represent the club's The International heresy. The first test for ponyo and his teammates was ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023 Southeast Asia Closed Qualifier, where the team took the third place and missed ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023.

The previous professional championship, in which Talon Esports participated, was EPL World Series: Southeast Asia Season 1. The team was invited to the semi-final stage of the play-offs. First, Talon Esports defeated Made in Philippines 2-1 to advance to the winner's bracket finals. The victory over Execration on two maps in a row took the Asian team to the grand final of the competition. And there Talon Esports defeated MAG.Indonesia with a score of 3:0. The win earned the team the $5,000 grand prize.

The BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024: CN and SEA Closed Qualifier got off to a good start for Talon Esports. In the first match Talon defeated G2.IG in a bo1 match. But IHC Esports sensationally defeated Talon Esports. So ponyo and his teammates went down to the bottom of the grid.

Statistics of the last results of Talon Esports:

• 1:2 defeat to IHC Esports
• 1:0 win over G2.IG
• A 3-0 win over MAG.Indonesia.
• 2-0 win over Execration
• 2:1 win over Made In Philippines

Team Aster uniforms

Last year, Team Aster went on a slump in terms of playing form. The team started with a second-place finish at the DPC CN 2023 Tour 1: Division I, and after that they couldn't get above the top-8 at international events. The 7th-8th places at Lima Major 2023 and ESL One Berlin Major 2023 provided the players with a total of $25,000. The main achievement of the past Aster squad was a 7th-8th place finish at the Riyadh Masters 2023, for which the club earned $500,000 in prize money. Team Aster did not qualify for The International 2023, failing to qualify for the Chinese regional qualifiers, although the team did finish in the top 4. In November, the organisation's management unveils a new roster that includes Erika, Echo, 生死 and Frisk. The captain is 皮球, who has been playing for the club since 2021. The team's goal was to qualify for ESL One Kuala Lumpur 2023, the last major tournament of the year. But Aster finished in fourth place in the Chinese qualifiers and failed to realise their end-of-season goal.

The last professional tournament for Team Aster was Kobolds Rave, an online tournament for Chinese and Asian teams with a prize pool of $40,000. Aster received a direct invitation from the organisers to the play-offs stage, bypassing the group stage. But there the team disappointed. First Erika and his teammates Ledge and Go along in a full bo3 series and fell to the bottom of the net. And the defeat from MAG.Indonesia with a similar result ended the participation of the Chinese club in this tournament. The 9th-12th place left the players without the much desired prize money.

At BetBoom Dacha Dubai 2024: CN and SEA Closed Qualifier Team Aster made their debut with a loss to Geek Fam, which resulted in a forfeit and a drop to the bottom of the grid. A full bo3 series against Titan ended with a win for Erika and the team.

Team Aster's recent results stats:

• A 2-1 victory over Titan
• Defeat by Geek Fam 0:1
• Defeat by MAG.Indonesia 1:2
• 1:2 defeat by Go Along
• 1:2 defeat by Invictus Gaming
