MidOne Joins TimsTims for DreamLeague 30

Published October 9, 2026

Zheng “MidOne” Yeik Nai has joined TimsTims for the DreamLeague Season 30 qualifiers in Southeast Asia, forming a five-player lineup with Daniel “Ghost” Chan, Marc “Raven” Fausto, Timothy “Tims” Randrup and Jian “xNova” Wei Yap. The roster appeared on FACEIT ahead of the regional qualifying process, putting MidOne back into a competitive lineup after his recent stand-in spell with Liquid. The immediate significance is clear: TimsTims has assembled a recognizable Southeast Asian mix for a route into DreamLeague Season 30, but its precise starting point in the qualification process had not been confirmed at the time of reporting.

The team’s entry route remains the key uncertainty around the project. TimsTims was reported as preparing for the DreamLeague Season 30 qualifiers, while it was not known whether the stack would receive an invitation to the closed qualifiers or begin in the open qualifiers. That distinction matters because it determines the first stage the new lineup must navigate rather than changing the event it is pursuing. MidOne’s presence is also notable in the short chronology of the roster: his last reported team was Liquid, where he filled in as a temporary mid laner following Michal “Nisha” Jankowski’s departure so the team could take part in BLAST Slam VIII. Liquid did not advance from that tournament’s group stage, finishing with a 1-2 record. TimsTims therefore represents a separate qualifying campaign, not a continuation of that Liquid appearance.

What the SEA qualifier route offers

The open qualifiers feed into Southeast Asia’s closed qualifier, so TimsTims’ entry point has a practical consequence. If the team starts in the open rounds, it must earn a place at the closed stage before it can pursue the regional berth. If it receives a direct invitation, it can begin at that later stage. The reports available when the roster surfaced did not establish which route the new stack would take. Treating either possibility as confirmed would turn an unresolved registration detail into a result. The structure nevertheless gives the roster announcement competitive weight: MidOne and his teammates are assembling for a defined regional qualifying path rather than a show match or an unconnected reunion. The players’ experience may attract attention, but it cannot substitute for an actual qualifying result.

The schedule separates the early regional competition from the later DreamLeague event itself. The open rounds come first, with the closed qualifier following them before teams can reach the main stage. That sequence is why the unanswered invitation question matters. A direct closed-stage entry would spare the newly assembled lineup the open rounds; an open-stage start would require the team to earn its place against other regional applicants. In either case, the roster listing says who intends to compete, not how this group will perform together. No match result or final qualifier placement accompanies the announcement. The first reliable measure of the project will be its confirmed entry and then its actual series results, rather than the reputations of its players alone.

The players behind the new tag

TimsTims brings together players who have recently been associated with different teams and circumstances. Raven and Tims were reported as former OG players who left that roster in September. MidOne arrives after his temporary Liquid role at BLAST Slam VIII, while Ghost and xNova complete the lineup listed on FACEIT. The assembled group is not presented as a finalized result of the qualifier; it is the named squad for the DreamLeague Season 30 campaign. That distinction is useful because the roster itself is confirmed, while the team’s invitation status and eventual progress remain open. The compact reference below records the complete lineup rather than assigning unreported positions or projecting how the players will perform together.

TimsTims now has a named lineup aimed at DreamLeague Season 30. The next concrete update to watch is whether the team receives a closed-qualifier invitation or must begin in Southeast Asia’s open rounds. Until that status is confirmed, the roster is the news; any result or path through the bracket remains to be earned.
