Zhi Lei "BurNIng" Xu is a carry player currently playing for {{Team ID|Vici Gaming}}.

Early Career and 7L
Before joining 7L, BurNIng was one of the core members of BL and DH. But, after joining 7L with LongDD and DGC, BurNIng stepped into the limelight. 2009's G-League was his first championship. However, due to major conflicts with the club, his time in 7L was short-lived. With DGC deciding to stand by the club, BurNIng left together with LongDD and Nekomata.

CityHunter
After not achieving success in various teams including Ks.cn, BurNIng joined CH at the end of 2009. Due to controversies in October 2010's IEM, CH lost their opening game against GS. However, CH defeated their nearest rival EHOME most of the time.

EHOME
With EHOME's disappointing perfomance, they decided to switch DGC with BurNIng. After joining EHOME, they won the qualifiers for Electronic Sports World Cup and proceeded to stomp every single team in France. After several other championships, EHOME finally disappointed in Electronic Sports Thailand Championship and the World DotA Championship, losing in the finals and group stage respectively. However, EHOME bounced back from an initial defeat at SMM 2010 to win gold, and World Gamemaster Tournament in 2011 has completed EHOME's ten championships in a calendar year.

DK
However, DK's richness was able to lure BurNIng, along with KingJ and PIS. DK's initial performance was disappointing, which included a second placing in the G-League along with other worse perfomance. However, after PIS, sharingan and Ksssssss left respectively, DK turned into the top team of the latter half of 2011, and placed first in G-League and the World DotA Championship.

Big God
Big God was originally named "The Old Man" Formed by BurNing, rOtk,xiao8 and LaNm +1. With the pick up of the female caster PC Cold, they were forced to change their name to Big God. They achieved success in Dota 2 Asia Championship obtaining a 4th place despite not training for the tournament as this is a casual team.

Invictus Gaming
On his stream on Feb 10th 2015, BurNing confirms the rumors of him going back to competitive scene and he will be joining Invictus Gaming and will be replacing Li 'CHisbug' Chen, former support player of IG.
