Biography

Zhe “Westmelon” Niu (born February 4, 2001, China) is a professional Counter-Strike 2 rifler and in-game leader for Lynn Vision Gaming. A former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player, he has been with Lynn Vision since 2017, developing into a steady presence in China’s top competitive roster. Known for disciplined rifling, reliable mid-round impact, and consistency across both online and LAN events, Westmelon has built a reputation as one of the more durable players in the Asian CS2 scene.

Westmelon started his esports journey in early 2018, making his debut in Asia’s regional tournaments. Over the years, he remained loyal to Lynn Vision, playing through multiple roster iterations and game transitions. He captures a solid statistical profile: over 700 professional maps played, a Rating 2.0 around 1.10, a strong damage per round (ADR) in the high 70s, and a KAST (Kill-Assist-Survive-Trade) percentage exceeding 70-72%. His performance metrics indicate an ability to contribute consistently, especially on CT sides, and he often pulls his weight even when not serving as the primary star of the team.

While Westmelon has not yet claimed a Major title, his list of achievements includes winning ESL Challenger League Season 49: Asia, securing first-place in Season 47: Asia, and a runner-up finish in the Asian Champions League 2025. He has seen regular top-placements in numerous regional and B-tier tournaments, and has been a fixture in Lynn Vision’s runs at several majors, contributing in Challenger stages and alongside teammates in higher tiers of competition. His career prize earnings are in the range of US$85,000+, reflecting both longevity and stable performance at competitive levels.
