📝 Milk Tea announce new roster for 2026

Temporary partner team Milk Tea has announced their roster for OWCS China’s 2026 season. Chen “feiyang” Shihang will play tank, with Ou “Eileen” Yiliang and Zhang “Taimouren” Yuchen on DPS. Chen “Hypnos” Yu will play support along with former DPS players Lu “Diya” Weida and Luo “TCC” Weitai, who are both role-swapping to support. Former ROC coach Si “Linabell” Ruobing will lead the team. Aside from Eileen, the new roster is a full rebuild for the Milk Tea squad.

Joining veteran player Eileen on DPS is Taimouren, a hitscan who first drew attention in China in 2024 while competing in the Pro-Chaser Association. Earlier this month, Taimouren played in Open Qualifiers with TheEastisRed, a team that missed the 1st - 4th-place cutoff for OWCS qualification by placing 5th.

Another signing from TheEastisRed, tank player feiyang previously competed with Team XX and Boom in 2025. Although neither feiyang nor Taimouren finished with impressive placements in OWCS China last year, Milk Tea wrote in their signing announcement on Bilibili that the team decided to move forward with these players based on the level of gameplay they showed in tryouts. (In the announcement post, Milk Tea also added that feiyang and Taimouren’s conduct would be monitored and supervised, while many Bilibili users in the comments discussed feiyang and Taimouren’s alleged history of boosting.)

Unlike the other players on Milk Tea’s roster, Hypnos is a true rookie who describes himself as a “rare new OW2 player” in his Bilibili profile. Hypnos is currently ranked Champion 4 on Korean servers. His signature hero is Ana, although he also plays other flex support staples like Baptiste and Kiriko.

To round out the support line, Diya will put aside the main DPS role for the first time in his decade-long career. Flex DPS TCC, formerly known as Ecc, is also swapping to support.

Heading into the 2026 season, Milk Tea’s new roster is full of unknowns. Whether the team’s rookie signings and role swaps will pay off is yet to be seen, but fans can finally witness the rebuilt Milk Tea in action when OWCS China Stage 1 begins on March 21.
