History
4AM first appears as Wei Shen's professional team during a public PUBG match. Wei Shen, Little Alert, and Yong Yuan are overwhelmed by Jiang Siming's rapid Kar98k quick-scoping; alongside a female streamer teammate, the squad is eliminated by him in under a minute. The defeat leads Wei Shen to suspect that their unknown opponent may be cheating. 2 3
After observing Jiang Siming survive a close-range three-way crossfire, coach A Luo identifies him as an exceptional prospect. His evaluation chart places his marksmanship, reaction speed, driving, and movement at peak level, while awareness and shot-calling are also close to maximum; A Luo immediately pushes to recruit him. 40
4AM travels to London for Jiang Siming's international debut. In the group stage, the team preserves its reputation as the “School Overlords” by contesting School against AW1 rather than yielding the drop location. 101 103 The team wins its opening match with 30 kills, including 22 by Jiang Siming, then rises sharply in the standings. 109
At FGS, 4AM becomes the dominant team of the event. Jiang Siming records 32 kills in one 64-player match, while the team reaches 120 points—more than triple the total of every other team combined—and secures the FGS championship. 138
The team’s dependence on Jiang Siming lessens over time. After training and learning from him, Wei Shen and the others are able to reach final circles and win matches even when Jiang Siming plays separately from the squad. 638
Jiang Siming later acquires 70% of 4AM from Wei Shen and becomes the club’s new boss. He accepts ownership partly to protect the club from future division or equity disputes, particularly with Holographic PUBG expected to increase its value. 1289 1291
Following Jiang Siming’s retirement from PC-client PUBG, 4AM remains focused on the PC version while other clubs transition toward Holographic PUBG. The team continues competing, and Jiang Siming later appears again in 4AM uniform during a finals event. 2303 2432 2434
