Mid Laner Jeong "Feisty" Seong-Hoon has reached a verbal agreement with Giants to join them in the LVP SuperLiga, sources told Sheep Esports today. This move will mark the player's first entry in the Western scene after he competed in the LCK and LCK CL over the last few years.
2 youngsters, 3 veterans
Alongside very young AD Carry Aetinoth who recently turned 18, Feisty will be another new blood for the squad of French coaches Nicolas Perez and Malau. During the 2023 season, Feisty was KT Challengers' mid laner in the LCK Challenger League where he placed himself at 3rd place in Spring and 5th place in Summer. 2023 has been a very strong year for the South Korean mid laner as he managed to prove himself as a top player in the league, particularly being known for his strong laning.
It is important to note that, on the other hand, Aetinoth has only ever played alongside a Korean player in 2022 for a few games in the TCL. Furthermore, this will also be the first time that Nicolas Perez and Malau will coach a Korean player.
Feisty is not the only example of South Korean mid laners taking a shot in the ERLs; notably, Lee "Mask" Sang-Hun (also a former KT.C player) and Cho "Whistle" Jong-hwi have followed the same path. With the GIA roster now complete, we can anticipate Feisty proving himself in the league and justifying his import spots among the top teams in Spain.
