LoL: Clozer joins OK BRION in the LCK

Lee “Clozer” Ju-hyeon will be the midlaner of OK BRION in the 2025 LCK season. The organization announced the signing on Wednesday via X, emphasizing its commitment to pursuing "higher goals" in the upcoming year. The former T1 and FearX midlaner is the third confirmed player for BRION’s roster next season, joining Park “Morgan” Ru-ha, who remains on the toplane, and Oh “Pollu” Dong-gyu, who was promoted to the main team last summer after progressing through the academy ranks in LCK AS and LCK CL.

Both Clozer and BRION share the need to recover from a difficult year. At FearX (FOX), Clozer struggled to achieve significant results in 2024. FOX failed to qualify for playoffs in the Spring and were eliminated in the first round during the Summer Split playoffs. Although they managed to reach the Regional Finals—the tournament that decides the final two LCK Worlds spots—FearX and Clozer fell flat. The team suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of KT Rolster in the opening round, leaving Clozer without a single BO5 victory for the year.

Overall, Clozer is still seeking his first LCK title. His best league finish to date was third place with SANDBOX Gaming (now FearX) in the Summer of 2022. His time at T1 in Spring 2021 coincided with the team’s “worst” team result since then: fourth place. Since Clozer’s departure, T1—and especially ZOFGK—have consistently finished in the top three in LCK, although the team has obviously experienced lower points in its earlier history.

For BRION, the outlook has been even bleaker. The team finished last in both splits of the 2024 season, amassing a dismal record of five wins and 31 losses. Despite this, the organization has therefore opted to retain at least two players. Two roster spots remain unfilled for now. As for Morgan, Lee “Envyy” Myeong-joon's contract expired on November 18, but the AD Carry has not yet been extended by the club. Jungler Ko “Youngjae” Young-jae, who joined BRION on loan from Freecs for Summer 2024, has already returned to his original team.
