Yip Wai-lam is a Hong Kong esports player who competes in team titles. At the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023, when esports became an official medal event for the first time and Hong Kong fielded 37 players across seven games, he was chosen for the Hong Kong, China team in Dream Three Kingdoms 2 (Asian Games version), the only PC-based title among the seven and the only one developed by a mainland publisher (Hangzhou Dianhun Network) from a Chinese-style IP. Competing at the China Hangzhou Esports Centre with Chan Cheuk-kit, Law Hing-lung, Yip Ho-lam and Yuen Pak-lam, in a squad organised by the Hong Kong, China Esports Association, the side beat Thailand 2-0 in the semi-final to reach the final, then lost 0-2 to hosts China in the final on 30 September 2023 and took silver - Hong Kong's first Asian Games medal in esports, and one of the medals won by the territory's delegation at the Games. Yip and his team-mates thus became among the first Hong Kong players to win an esports medal at the Asian Games. Publicly verifiable information about Yip's background, team and wider competition record is limited; the Dream Three Kingdoms 2 team silver is his most clearly documented achievement.
