League of Legends fans in North America shouldn’t blink or they might miss one of the region’s brightest young stars making a comeback. Jojopyun, the mid-laner for Evil Geniuses, may have had a rough year last year, but he has quickly improved throughout the first half of the 2023 LCS Summer Split to become the best in his position.
To help his team, which is currently atop the league’s regular season standings, the 18-year-old phenom has improved his abilities and grown into a much more dependable carry. If you need more information about The LCS mid-lane throne that is currently held by NA’s most promising LoL prospect, then read carefully, and don’t forget to share with your friends.
According to the competitive stats aggregator Oracle’s Elixir, Jojopyun has outperformed his peers over the past three weeks, leading all LCS mids with a 6.2 KDA and 655 average damage per minute. In addition, he ranks in the top three for kills, kills participation, overall kill share, and damage share, clearly establishing himself as the team’s leader in recent victories.

His destructive early-game statistics represent one of the biggest shifts from the previous season. With a staggering 44 percent first blood rate, he also possesses the highest averages for gold, experience, and CS difference at 15 minutes. While also finding time to wander and assist his team when he can, he has significantly improved his solo learning skills. Due to the Geniuses’ early playoff exit at the hands of Golden Guardians, Jojopyun’s boot camp in South Korea is to blame for this improvement.
The young prodigy claimed in an interview with Ashley Kang that the postseason defeat compelled him to change his underwhelming habits if he wanted to compete in the World Championship this year and that daily competition for three weeks against some of the best players in the world was exactly what he needed to do. During those three weeks, he also experienced a mental shift that led him to “take [the Summer] much more seriously than the last split.”
