At just 22 years old, Choi "
" Woo-je has already accomplished what no other
League of Legends player has managed before him. After
lifting the MSI 2026 trophy with Hanwha Life Esports over
, he became the first player in history to win First Stand, MSI, Worlds, the Asian Games, and the Esports World Cup.
It is an absurd resume for someone so young, and one that only strengthens the case for Zeus as the greatest toplaner the game has ever seen. From his rise with T1 to
his move to HLE, he has repeatedly delivered on the biggest stages, collecting trophies that define eras rather than seasons.
The platinum road
His career has already been filled with unforgettable moments. He won Worlds twice with T1, in 2023 and 2024, earning Finals MVP honors in 2023 after defeating Weibo Gaming, while also standing tall in some of the highest-pressure matches in League of Legends. He was part of the 2022 run that led T1 to one of the most iconic Worlds finals ever played, when the ZOFGK roster fell to DRX in an unforgettable five-game battle. With T1, he also lifted the very first Esports World Cup title in 2023 in Riyadh, dismantling Top Esports 3-1 to become the inaugural champion of the event.
He also represented South Korea around that time. At the 2022 Asian Games, he was part of a roster that did not drop a single game throughout the entire tournament, winning the gold medal alongside legendary names such as Jeong “
” Ji-hoon, Park “
” Jae-hyuk, Faker, his former support Ryu “
” Min-seok, and his current jungler Seo “
” Jin-hyeok, which earned him an exemption from mandatory military service.
Since joining Hanwha Life, Zeus has added two more trophies that had been missing from his cabinet. He won the first edition of First Stand shortly after arriving in the 2024-2025 offseason, as HLE outclassed the champions of every other region, and he has now added MSI 2026 to the list after reuniting with Lee "Gumayusi" Min-hyung, who also made the move from T1 to HLE. Even with the spotlight often centered on Faker and the legends around him, Zeus kept building a legacy of his own, proving he was never just part of the story — he was writing it himself.
The only major trophy still missing is the KeSPA Cup, where he came painfully close in 2025 before falling 3-2 to T1 in the final. But even that feels less like a blemish than another chapter in a career that is clearly still unfolding. If anything, it only adds to the intrigue: Zeus has already won nearly everything there is to win, and at just 22 years old, he still has far more history left to make.
