46-year-old Street Fighter pro GamerBee joins Flash Wolves

Being over 25 years old is considered ancient in the esports ecosystem — unless you’re Bruce ‘GamerBee’ Hsiang. The 46-year-old pro was just signed to Flash Wolves after decades of competing in Street Fighter.

Flash Wolves is a Taiwanese esports organisation that has teams competing in Arena of Valor, Hearthstone and League of Legends: Wild Rift. The addition of GamerBee has allowed Flash Wolves to dive deeper into the growing FGC scene in 2025.

On social media, GamerBee commented: “Their [Flash Wolves] professionalism and resources in esports are undeniable. I believe that with their support, I can focus more on training and competition and strive for even greater goals!”

Despite the Taiwanese government frowning upon video games in the 1980s and 1990s, GamerBee fell in love with competitive fighting games. After a childhood filled with passion for Street Fighter and Tekken, GamerBee went to Evo 2010, flying from Taiwan to Las Vegas. He took 5th place at his first large, overseas tournament, beating out top pros in the scene.

GamerBee became a legend in Taiwan almost instantly, appearing on news reports and being celebrated by supporters who even showed up to the airport to greet him when he returned. He was later Taiwan’s first pro fighting game player after signing with AVerMedia, eventually becoming the top Adon player in Street Fighter 4.

GamerBee noted in an interview with Evo that the arcade scene in Taiwan was starting to die out — but the good netcode for Street Fighter 4 allowed him to start grinding and competing against players around the world. He said: “Without netcode, I won’t be able to compete or practice with so many good players online and become the GamerBee after.”

When GamerBee returned to Evo in 2012, he placed second. He remained consistent for years to come, even making it to the Grand Finals in 2015 after fighting against Daigo, Tokido, Nemo and many other iconic Street Fighter pros. Outside of Evo, GamerBee was getting great results at EGX, Japan Cup and many other tourneys across the world.

On top of competing, GamerBee has also been a long-time streamer — he took on this part of the esports ecosystem early on. He was Taiwan’s Partnerships Development Lead at Twitch by 2015, allowing him to promote Taiwanese streamers to audiences around the world. He also used this opportunity to promote Street Fighter esports, which he felt had too small a playerbase to find a larger audience like League of Legends and Dota 2.

After winning 18 international championships and helping build the Street Fighter scene over the past few decades, GamerBee is still competing. He placed in the Top 100 at Evo 2024, and consistently places in the Top 20 in online tournaments across Asia.

At 46 years old, GamerBee is not slowing down when it comes to his passion and dedication. Signing with Flash Wolves is another step towards growing the FGC scene in Taiwan and beyond.
