by In the world of League of Legends, success can be elusive for some players while others thrive under pressure.
Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon has experienced his fair share of setbacks and criticism throughout his career, making his current achievements even more remarkable.
As the 2023 League of Legends World Championship enters the knockout stage, all eyes are on the remaining eight teams.
Gen.G, alongside JDG, has managed a flawless run with 3-0 records, setting themselves up as strong contenders.
Chovy’s exceptional performance has further solidified his position as a standout player in the tournament.
Chovy has often been overshadowed by the legendary Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, considered by many as the greatest League of Legends player of all time.
However, in this year’s championship, Chovy has emerged as the face of the LCK, representing the best team.
Notably, he is the first player ever to reach five consecutive World Championship playoffs, a record that even Faker couldn’t achieve, as he missed the 2014 and 2018 World Championships.
At Worlds 2023, Chovy has made a significant impact, ranking third in kills among mid laners in the main event, despite playing fewer games than many players at the top of the standings.
Furthermore, he boasts an impressive 14.3 KDA, contributes to 73.1 percent of his team’s total kills, and maintains the highest average CS per minute.
Chovy’s journey in the Worlds began in 2019 with Team Griffin, and most of his former teammates from that squad have also made it to the 2023 World Championship, with the exception of Park “Viper” Do-hyeon, the team’s former bot laner who won Worlds in 2021 with EDward Gaming.
Chovy’s consistency is undeniable, as he has earned a spot at every World Championship since his debut, regardless of the team he represented.
The upcoming quarter-final clash against Bilibili Gaming on Friday, November 3, 2023, presents a crucial moment for Chovy and Gen.G as they aim to progress to the semi-finals, potentially facing Weibo Gaming or NRG.
