After gaining valuable experience in the European League of Legends competitive scene, a promising player may be making his way back home. Lee “JeongHoon” Jeong-hoon, the former support for Astralis, is rumored to be joining Liiv SANDBOX in the LCK for the upcoming season. This news comes from esports reporter Alejandro “anonimotum” Gomis.
According to sources, JeongHoon has reached a verbal agreement with Liiv SANDBOX to become their new support. If this move happens, the 23-year-old will join a roster filled with experienced players like mid laner Lee “Clozer” Ju-hyeon, top laner Noh “Burdol” Tae-yoon, and AD carry Park “Teddy” Jin-seong.
JeongHoon joined the LEC and Astralis in May 2022 and quickly made a name for himself as a talented support. Although his team struggled, he had standout moments throughout the year, earning him the Rookie of the Split award during the 2022 Summer Split. With his cheerful personality and impressive plays on champions like Rakan, Bard, and Pyke, JeongHoon became a fan favorite in the LEC.
This report follows Astralis’ departure from the LEC, as their league slot was acquired by popular LFL organization Karmine Corp for the 2024 season. As a result, Astralis’ current lineup will need to find new teams during the offseason.
Overall, JeongHoon’s return to the LCK with Liiv SANDBOX promises to bring excitement and potential success to the team. Fans will be eager to see how he performs alongside his new teammates in the upcoming season.
