In the world of esports, being over 25 is often considered “old” — unless you’re Bruce ‘GamerBee’ Hsiang. The 46-year-old professional gamer recently signed with Flash Wolves after decades of competing in the Street Fighter series.
Flash Wolves is a Taiwanese esports organization known for having toktoto teams in games like Arena of Valor, Hearthstone, and League of Legends: Wild Rift. With GamerBee’s addition, Flash Wolves is now officially expanding its wings into the ever-growing FGC (Fighting Game Community) scene in 2025.
On social media, GamerBee stated,
“Flash Wolves’ professionalism and resources in the esports world are unquestionable. I believe with their support, I can focus more on training and competing, and pursue greater heights!”
GamerBee: FGC Legend Still Fighting
Although the Taiwanese government was not very supportive of video games in the 1980s and 1990s, GamerBee still fell in love with fighting games like Street Fighter and Tekken. His passion took him to Evo 2010 in Las Vegas, where he flew in from Taiwan and finished 5th in his first major international tournament, beating many of the world’s top players.
His name immediately skyrocketed in Taiwan. He appeared on national news and was welcomed by fans when he returned home. Soon after, he became the first professional fighting game player from Taiwan after signing a contract with AVerMedia, and was known as the best Adon player in Street Fighter IV.
In an interview with Evo, GamerBee once revealed that the arcade scene in Taiwan was starting to fade. However, the good netcode in Street Fighter IV allowed him to practice and compete online against top players from various countries.
“Without the netcode, I wouldn’t have been able to practice or compete with so many great players online and become the GamerBee I am today,” he said.
When he returned to Evo in 2012, he managed to win the runner-up position (2nd place). GamerBee continued to perform consistently, even entering the Grand Final of Evo 2015 after defeating legendary names such as Daigo, Tokido, and Nemo. Outside of Evo, he also achieved brilliant results in tournaments such as EGX, Japan Cup, and many more.
More Than a Player: A Major Contributor to Taiwan’s FGC
In addition to competing, GamerBee has also been an active streamer since the early days of esports. In 2015, he served as Partnerships Development Lead for Twitch Taiwan, where he helped promote local streamers to a global audience.
He also used his role on Twitch to promote Street Fighter esports, which he felt had a much smaller community compared to big games like League of Legends and Dota 2.
Having won 18 international championships and helped build the Street Fighter community for decades, GamerBee is still actively competing. He placed in the Top 100 at Evo 2024 and consistently finishes in the Top 20 in online tournaments across Asia.
Inspirational at 46
At 46, GamerBee shows no signs of slowing down. His move to Flash Wolves is another big step in strengthening and expanding the FGC scene in Taiwan and internationally.
GamerBee is living proof that age is no barrier to success in esports. His dedication has not only built a personal legacy, but also paved the way for the next generation in the fighting game world.
