Background / History

Coach Homme had previously recommended 369 to JDG before joining V5 himself. When V5 needed a new top laner, Homme pushed for a trade involving JDG and TES, despite 369's poor S11 reputation and Luo Zhen's doubts about the signing 35.

V5 replaced Rich with 369 ahead of the S12 Spring Split, giving him another opportunity to establish himself on a new roster 36. In his early match against RA, he secured First Blood alongside Karsa and became V5's designated side-lane pressure point through a 4-1 split-push setup with Jax 38.

His early V5 period focused on becoming steadier under pressure. He endured repeated jungle attention, adopted defensive summoners such as Flash and Ghost, and learned to prioritize survival when the team needed him to absorb pressure 63 65 96. His teammates gradually noticed that he required less assistance while offering increasingly stronger returns in lane and team fights 60.

369's confidence rose sharply after his Aatrox counter-killed Kanavi and Rich in a 1v2 gank. The play demonstrated improved mechanics, sharper Q angles, and a willingness to trust his teammates' decision not to immediately rescue him 93. He later became a resource-focused carry on Gangplank, expanded into Akshan and Fiora, and turned side-lane pressure into a central V5 win condition 88 115 197.

Against his former team TES, 369's Fiora achieved a “One Second Four Break” highlight and later killed three TES members during a split-push before falling. These performances established his growth from a volatile former TES prospect into a reliable V5 threat 197 198. His eventual championship skin was Aatrox, part of V5's Avengers-themed championship set 367.

Personality

369 is expressive, competitive, and prone to self-doubt when he believes he has underperformed. Before major matches—especially against TES—he can become preoccupied with whether he is contributing enough compared with his teammates 231.

He responds strongly to trust and encouragement. Karsa's refusal to immediately help during the Aatrox 1v2 convinced him that the team believed he could win, helping him commit to the counterattack 93. Luo Zhen's exaggerated praise and “world's number one top laner” chants embarrass him, but also reinforce his confidence 93.

Despite a history of impulsive plays, he has developed patience and restraint. He can deliberately play weakside, avoid dangerous minions, give up pressure, and wait for a strategic opening rather than forcing a fight 51 96 244.

Abilities & Skills

Side-Lane Pressure

369 is V5's principal split-push threat when given resources and a favorable matchup.

• Executed V5's 4-1 setup on Jax after gaining an early lead against RA 38.
• Used Fiora to force TES into unfavorable map decisions: grouping allowed him to threaten bases, while recalling allowed him to continue harassing side lanes 198.
• Killed three TES members during a Fiora split push after V5 deliberately ceded the Rift Herald to create space for him 197.
• Understands that teammates must create pressure elsewhere before a split pusher can safely extend into enemy territory 197.

Aatrox Execution

Aatrox became one of 369's most visible indicators of mechanical growth.

• Counter-killed Kanavi and Rich in a 1v2 through chained crowd control, diagonal Q placement, and a Flash-Q finisher 93.
• Used Aatrox's durability and damage to lead front-line fights against EDG 229.
• Dodged DRX's initial control during a decisive third-dragon fight, helping V5 win the engagement and secure the objective 305.
• Was selected as his V5 championship skin champion 367.

Weakside Survival

369 can shift from carry play to a low-resource, defensive role when V5's strategy demands it.

• Malphite was selected specifically to curb his instinct to force plays and make him “play safe and steady” 51.
• Survived pressure with Flash and Ghost while being heavily targeted in lane 63.
• Avoided minions rather than risk a predictable dive against JDG 96.
• Surprised TES with an unusually defensive Ornn approach, disrupting their expectations and supporting V5's bot-lane plan 244.

Relationships
