History
2013
The Flash Wolves were originally established under the name yoe IRONMEN on 15 April 2013, after the draft season of the Taiwan e-Sports League (TeSL). After finishing 6th in the TeSL, the team struggled in the Season 3 Taiwan Regional Finals group stage and received the last slot in group B, prompting four of the five players on the team to leave. As a result, the team announced it would forfeit all its remaining matches and began reforming itself. On 22 August, the team rebranded as yoe Flash Wolves and signed nearly the entire roster of Gamania Bears on 21 October, automatically qualifying them for the 2014 LNL Winter and the 2014 GPL Winter splits. However, they gave up their spot in the latter due to Riot Games' player age limit rules.
The Flash Wolves made an impressive return in the 2013 WCG Taiwan Qualifiers, defeating two established Taiwanese powerhouses, the Taipei Assassins and ahq e-Sports Club, and earning a spot in the 2013 World Cyber Games.
2014
In 2014, the Flash Wolves saw several roster changes: Dee left the team on 13 January; on 24 January, Mountain joined as the team's new starting jungler, REFRA1N moved to the mid lane, Maple became a substitute player, and HueiYun left; Maooo and Maple were moved to the academy team yoe Flash Wolves Junior on 21 February; and Mountain left on 30 April. The Flash Wolves finished 4th in the LNL Winter split.
2015
The Flash Wolves finished first at IEM Season IX – Taipei on 30 January by beating the Taipei Assassins 2–1. In March, the Flash Wolves defeated SK Gaming in the second round of the group state at IEM Season IX Katowice, qualifying for the semifinals, where they were defeated by Team SoloMid 2–1.
The Flash Wolves finished 2nd in both the 2015 LMS Spring playoffs and the 2015 LMS Summer regular season, and 3rd in the 2015 LMS Summer playoffs.
In May, the Flash Wolves announced the formation of a female League of Legends team.
The Flash Wolves were the 2nd seed representing the Taiwan/Hong Kong/Macau region in the 2015 League of Legends World Championship. On 11 October, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu made a surprise visit to Paris to meet with the Flash Wolves and ahq e-Sports Club, wishing them luck in the World Championship. The team won their preliminary group, but finished in 5th–8th overall after losing to Origen 1–3.
2016
The Flash Wolves finished 2nd in the 2016 LMS Spring Split regular season with 9 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. Heading into the playoffs, the team was able to defeat both Machi and ahq in 3–0 sweeps, winning their first LMS title. This qualified them for the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational, where they managed to take games off SK Telecom T1, G2 Esports and SuperMassive eSports, advancing to the semifinals. However, the Flash Wolves ultimately lost their series 1–3 to Counter Logic Gaming, placing 3rd–4th.
The Flash Wolves finished 2nd in the 2016 LMS Summer Split regular season, but were able to win their 2nd LMS title after defeating ahq in a close five-game series and J Team in a convincing 3–0 sweep. Qualifying for the 2016 World Championship as the #1 seed from the LMS, the Flash Wolves were drawn into Group B against South Korea's SK Telecom T1, China's IMay and North America's Cloud9. They finished last in their group with a record of 2 wins to 4 losses.
2019
The Flash Wolves announced on 13 December 2019 that it was disbanding its League of Legends team and would not participate in the upcoming Pacific Championship Series (PCS), the successor to the LMS.
