=== World Cup Asia 2017 ===

In November 2017, Tsing competed at World Cup Asia in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

He participated in a combined Tahitian and Malaysian team under the Phoenix Tahiti name, also registered as Phoenix Tahiti Aisawan.

The team competed in Division 3 and finished fifth among 16 entrants.

Phoenix Tahiti placed second in its preliminary group and subsequently finished first in its second-round group.

The team reached the quarterfinals, where it was eliminated by Order 66 following a two-set-to-one defeat.

The result received coverage in ''La Dépêche de Tahiti'' on 15 November 2017. [9]

The newspaper reported that financial limitations had prevented a full Tahitian squad from travelling to Malaysia.

The Tahitian participants therefore competed alongside Malaysian players.

Tsing described the fifth-place result as satisfying because the combined team had not previously trained together.
