LoL: Inspired has been named MVP of the year in LTA North

Kacper "Inspired" Słoma has been named the 2025 LTA Player of the Year, with the Polish jungler voted by his peers as the best player across the entire year in the Americas region. This adds to an already decorated career, as he was previously crowned LCS Player of the Year in 2024, MVP of Split 2 in 2025, and MVP of the Summer Split in 2022.

Inspired is also the first player in history to claim this distinction in two different leagues, having earned the LEC Most Valuable Player award back in Summer 2021. He remains the only player to have combined that achievement with being named Rookie of the Split in the LEC, a title he received in 2019.

At only 23 years old, Inspired has already collected a remarkable list of titles, both individually and collectively. The jungler is at the peak of his form and is without question the best in the West right now. Last year, he had already left a strong impression in the LTA before leading FlyQuest to the quarterfinals of Worlds and delivering one of the tournament’s biggest surprises by pushing Gen.G to a fifth game.

From nearly toppling Gen.G to his humble beginnings, the road has been long. Inspired first appeared on the Polish and German national circuits in 2017, playing for MOUZ NXT and 7more7 Pompa Team. He then joined Rogue in 2019 through the Ultraliga before moving up to the LEC, where he competed alongside Emil "Larssen" Larsson and Steven "Hans Sama" Liv, reaching his first Worlds in 2020 and returning in 2021.

His move to Evil Geniuses in North America brought instant success with a Spring Split title, a first MSI semifinal run, and a Worlds participation. After a quiet 2023, he found his place with FlyQuest in 2024, securing the LCS Championship and an impressive Worlds campaign that redefined the team’s image. Since then, FlyQuest has dominated the LTA, building not only success but also admiration, widely seen as the West’s best team and hope.

Several other awards were also handed out. The Split’s coaching staff award went to FlyQuest’s Erlend "Nukeduck" Våtevik and Alfonso "mithy" Rodríguez. Most Improved Player was awarded to Shopify Rebellion’s toplaner Ibrahim "Fudge" Allami, whose team showed significant progress over the year—struggling in Split 1 but finishing third in both Splits 2 and 3, though they fell short of Worlds after a 3-2 loss to RED Canids.

The three All-Pro Teams were also announced, featuring Gabriël "Bwipo" Rau in the toplane, Inspired in the jungle, Lim "Quid" Hyeon-seung in midlane, and FlyQuest’s botlane of Fahad "Massu" Abdulmalek and Alan "Busio" Cwalina while Lee "Loki" Sang-min was named Rookie of the Split.
