Background
TSW Pegasus (currently known as Sun Pegasus) was founded by various people from the Yuen Long District Council in 2008, with the help of South China chairman Steven Lo and his entertainment company bma, as well as his spouse Canny Leung being one of the members of the Board. Moreover, players including Cheng Siu Wai and Deng Jinghuang joined TSW Pegasus from South China soon after TSW Pegasus was founded.
