The team is owned by CTBC Sports Entertainment, a subsidiary of CTBC Bank.

## History
### Founding

CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO) was founded on 26 January 2022 by CTBC Sports Entertainment after it acquired the PCS spot of Machi Esports. The team's inaugural roster consisted of former players of Machi Esports and J Team: top laner Hsu "Rest" Shih-chieh, jungler Huang "Gemini" Chu-hsuan, mid laner Chen "Mission" Hsiao-hsien, bot laner Sung "Atlen" Ya-lun, and support Lin "Koala" Chih-chiang.

### 2022 season

CFO finished third in the spring regular season after defeating fellow newcomers Deep Cross Gaming in a tiebreaker match, qualifying CFO for the first round of playoffs in the winners' bracket. After sweeping sixth-place Meta Falcon Team in the first round and second-place J Team in the second round, CFO took a convincing 3–1 victory over defending champions PSG Talon in the semifinals. This immediately qualified CFO for the spring finals, an achievement made in their inaugural split. However, CFO narrowly lost the PCS title after losing to PSG Talon in the final match of a full best-of-five series.
CFO did not make any changes to their starting roster for the summer split and finished fourth in the regular season after defeating Frank Esports in a tiebreaker match. This placement qualified CFO for the first round of playoffs in the winners' bracket, where they defeated Frank Esports in a best-of-five series. CFO then narrowly defeated first-place PSG Talon in the second round to advance to their second PCS semifinals, where they took a convincing victory over sixth-place Beyond Gaming. This victory qualified CFO for the 2022 World Championship as one of the PCS' two representatives. In the finals, CFO once again faced off against Beyond Gaming, who they swept to claim their first PCS title.

### 2023 season

CFO secured third place in the spring regular season with a 12–7 record. Their spring playoffs journey ended in a 1–3 loss to Frank Esports in the lower bracket semifinals, resulting in a third-place finish. CFO ended the summer regular season in fifth place with a 9–9 record. The team improved their standing in the summer playoffs, fighting through the bracket before losing 2–3 in a finals rematch against PSG Talon. CFO's second runners-up finish earned them a spot in the 2023 World Championship, where they were eliminated in the play-in stage after a 0–2 loss to Team BDS, placing CFO between 19th and 20th overall.

### 2024 season

CFO finished first in the spring regular season with an 8–2 record. However, their spring playoffs run ended after a 0–3 loss to Japanese team SoftBank Hawks in the lower bracket semifinals, placing them third. The team finished third in the summer regular season with a 6–4 record. They ended the summer playoffs with another 1–3 loss to Frank Esports, resulting in a fifth-place finish.

### 2025 season

CFO was selected as a partner team of the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP). They finished second in the league's inaugural regular season (LCP season kickoff) with a 6–1 record. They defeated Talon 3–1 in the finals to secure their second domestic title and the first ever LCP title, as well as a spot in the inaugural First Stand Tournament.

## Team identity

The team's name is a bilingual pun. "Flying Oyster" in Mandarin Chinese is feimuli (飛牡蠣), which sounds similar to "family"; the team's founders intended for the Chinese name to have the double meaning of "CTBC family". This is a reference to the company slogan of CTBC Bank – "We are family" – which is also CFO's team motto.
CFO's first logo emphasized the "Flying Oyster" part of its name. The logo was changed before the 2022 summer split to a design that emphasized the team's abbreviation, CFO.
CFO's team colours are blue and yellow.
