Former runner-up in LoL ends his career in the middle of the season – due to an injury

Things are just not going well at Team SoloMid (TSM for short). After the former League of Legends champions only finished 9th in the Spring Split, top laner Heo “Huni” Seung-hoon is now out through injury.

This is the situation:

• Top lane star Huni celebrated his biggest success with SKT1
• He has been with TSM since 2021 but the 2022 spring split was disappointing
• The summer split also started rather meagerly with 2 – 5
• Now the Huni surprisingly ended his career because of a wrist injury
• TSM reacts to this by rebuilding the whole team at once
• They mainly focus on newcomers

Huni resigns from the LCS squad

Who is the person you are talking about? Top lane star Huni started his official career in 2015 with Fnatic, with which he reached the top 4 at Worlds. In 2017 he achieved his greatest success to date. With SKT1, the team of Superstar Faker, he achieved the Vice World Champion title and was only narrowly beaten by Samsung Galaxy.

He has been part of Team SoloMid since 2021.

He is best known for his aggressive style and his sometimes unusual choice of champs and spells. He also became the first player at 22 to represent three different regions in Worlds: Europe, Korea and North America.

Huni is considered to be very versatile and also enjoys playing non-meta champions. The situation is completely different with this streamer, which despite the nerf cannot part with its darling.

Due to recurring wrist injuries, the 24-year-old has now had to end his active career. TSM thanked Huni for the memories and announced that he will initially remain part of Team SoloMid while he considers his future. They also want to support him, whichever way he chooses.

Resignation will result in further changes

Let the rookies do it: The void that Huni leaves behind will be difficult to fill. His place is set to be taken by top laner Alex “Soul” Luo from TSM Academy, but he’s not the only climber to the main roster.

If you’re already there, you can change the whole team right away, thought TSM. In addition to the change in the top lane, the position of attack damage carry will also be reassigned. Instead of Edward “Tactical” Ra, Tony “Instinct” Ng will soon deal attack damage for TSM.

Jonathan “Chime” Pomponio from the Golden Guardians Academy is to compete in support in the black and white jersey.

Actually, such changes in the middle of the LCS are rather unusual. It remains to be seen whether the previously rather weak season can be saved with the newcomers.

There is also a lot going on in the Korean League of Legends Liga LCK. Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok just clinched his 500th win and is finally becoming a legend.
