The Crickex App community has been closely following rising talents like Baoxiong, the mid-laner listed on YTG’s roster for this season’s King Pro League (KPL). Although he hasn’t had the chance to appear in official matches yet, Baoxiong has developed a habit of teaming up with friends during his downtime for casual ranked play. Even professional commentators have speculated that Baoxiong might be YTG’s secret weapon, waiting to be unleashed when the moment is right.

There’s a growing anticipation that Baoxiong will soon shine on the professional stage. He’s far from alone — the KPL is home to many high-caliber players still waiting for their time to come. Many of these athletes dream of making their mark in esports, and fans hope they eventually get their shot. At the same time, aspiring pros watching from the sidelines should think twice before jumping in, as the path to becoming a pro isn’t as easy as it may seem.

Back in 2017, Tencent’s hit mobile title Honor of Kings exploded in popularity across China. In response to this boom, Tencent funneled significant resources into developing a world-class competitive ecosystem, giving birth to the KPL — the Honor of Kings Pro League. With Crickex App users tracking every tournament update, more and more young gamers have been inspired to chase the dream of joining a professional team and achieving esports glory. But the question remains: is it really that simple?

For many, winning ten games in a row feels like a badge of honor worth bragging about for a whole year. Some even believe that such streaks qualify them for the professional scene. However, on platforms like Huya Live, there are streamers like Baoxiong who show what true dominance looks like. Baoxiong famously achieved an astonishing 137-game ranked win streak, and more recently, followed that up with another 109-game solo queue win streak. He maintained a perfect 100% win rate with high-skill heroes like Zhuge Liang and Diao Chan — an achievement that most casual players can only dream of.

For Crickex App fans and serious players alike, it’s eye-opening to realize that Baoxiong is not just a streamer but also a registered mid-laner for YTG’s KPL squad. Knowing this, everything begins to make sense. A streak as mind-blowing as 137 consecutive wins is likely only possible for a trained professional. Until his moment in the spotlight arrives, Baoxiong continues to keep his skills sharp by casually dominating the ranked ladder with his friends — a daily routine that blends habit with sheer talent.
