The organization was established in November 2021 when Weibo acquired the LPL (League of Legends Pro League) team Suning, marking their entry into competitive gaming. Since its inception, Weibo Gaming has become one of the most prominent esports organizations in China, fielding teams across multiple competitive titles including League of Legends, Rainbow Six Siege, and others.
The organization's League of Legends team quickly established itself as a competitive force in the LPL, China's premier League of Legends league. Weibo Gaming's early years were marked by strategic roster acquisitions and a commitment to building a sustainable competitive program.

This professional approach to esports has helped them maintain competitiveness in the rapidly evolving landscape of professional gaming. The organization's backing by Weibo has provided them with the resources to compete at the highest levels and invest in player development and infrastructure.
The team's colors and branding reflect their connection to the Weibo platform, creating a distinctive identity in the esports space.
