How KRX Vincenzo went from CL MVP jungler to temporary playoff ADC

On August 24, the LCK Challengers League Play-In and Playoff rosters were officially announced. The rumor turned out to be true as Kiwoom DRX jungler Ha '

Vincenzo

' Seung-min was listed as a bot laner. How did this promising jungle prospect from T1 Esports Academy, end up becoming a temporary AD carry?

Vincenzo was without doubt the best jungler in the 2025 LCK Challengers League. Competing against experienced junglers like Ko 'YoungJae' Young-jae, Lee 'Juhan' Ju-han, and Kim 'Willer' Jeong-hyeon, he showed great presence and head to 2025 LCK CL Playoff lower final, with the teammate, Shin '' Geum-jae. He also won the LCK Challengers League Regular Season MVP award.

After winning the 2025 Asia Star Challengers Invitational, he signed with DRX with high expectations. He played two games in the 2025 KeSPA Cup that followed, proving once again why he was such a hyped jungler through his solid performance.

Starting from the LCK CUP, the team chose as the starting jungler. With Willer performing very well, Vincenzo had to stay on the bench. Although he stayed on the main roster to fight for the starting spot, he could only watch and cheer for his team from behind the stage. Fans could only catch glimpses of him in official LCK content or dancing with Son 'Ucal' Woo-hyeon during the team road trip event in Vietnam.

The crucial problem appeared later in the season from an unexpected place. Through a trade with KT, the team sent their AD carry Jeong '' Ji-woo and brought in Kim '' Ha-ram.

According to the LCK rulebook, players who played 38 or more sets in the LCK regular season cannot be registered for the LCK CL Playoff roster. The Challengers team secured a Play-In spot early with points earned in Rounds 1 and 2, but both Aiming and Tran '' Bao Minh were blocked from playing in the CL Play-In because they had played over 38 sets in the LCK.

Kiwoom DRX tried to join into the LCK Play-In after Aiming joined, but they could not win a single match in Round 4 and finished the season in 9th place. In their final match against DN SOOPers, support Kang 'Minous' Min-woo made his debut and gave a post-season interview, but Vincenzo was nowhere to be seen, even the final fan meet.

Where Vincenzo made his appearance was not in the jungle, but in the bot lane. Having practiced the ADC role starting in solo queue to fill the team's void, Vincenzo joined Kiwoom DRX Challengers to face DN SOOPers Challengers in the LCK CL Play-In. While Vincenzo helped secure a set win by playing Jhin, Mel, Miss Fortune, and Ziggs, the team ultimately suffered a 1-3 defeat and must now play in tomorrow's final decider match for the last seed in the CL Playoffs. The LCK CL Play-In and Playoffs are held at WDG Studio Hongdae in Seoul.
