Enoch Yuen has been playing for the Imperial A team since he started at Imperial in 2020. He debuted at the 2020 British Student Quiz Championships. He is the only member on the Imperial A team that contributes to all Imperial’s victories in non-novice tournaments so far. He helped Imperial to clinch their first quizbowl title in the 28-team British mirror of Southeast-Midwest Housewrite tournament along with Imperial A teammates Michael Kohn, Felix Roberts and Richard Brooks.

In 2023, Enoch with his Imperial A teammates Michael Mays, Justin Lee and Adam Jones won the 2023 British Student Quiz Championships, providing Imperial with its first ever BSQC title. A recording of the final was uploaded to YouTube. The same team (Enoch, Michael, Adam and Justin) also won the British mirrors of all college quizbowl tournaments in 2023 until the end of the academic year, which include ARCADIA, ACF Regionals, C++, and MRNA. Enoch also won the British mirror of BHSU 2023, a “nationals-minus" difficulty open tournament with Evan Lynch, Mark Grant and Michael. He helped Imperial to qualify for their first ACF Nationals in 2022 together with Michael, Felix Roberts and Justin. Due to travel issues, he could not participate in the in-person 2022 ACF Nationals. He helped Imperial to qualify for ACF Nationals again in 2023, and he participated in the ACF Nationals held in MIT that year with his Imperial teammates Michael, Carlos Doebeli and Rahim Dina. Due to promising performances at college quizbowl, Enoch, Michael, Justin and Adam came together to create the team 3HK1MM (as Enoch, Justin and Adam are from Hong Kong) with plans to continue competing in quizzing tournaments post-graduation.

Although he studies Biological Sciences at Imperial and Business Management at Cambridge, his favourite topic is Geography (he is a member of the Travelers' Century Club) and he is regarded as one of the strongest Literature players in the UK quizzing scene, especially on the topic of World Literature.
