1. Huni’s name is taken from his real name, Heo Seung-Hoon.

2. Before rising to fame, Huni was on the practice team for Samsung.

3. Despite being a part of the organization, he never played any games for Samsung. However, his time there allowed him to hone his skills against top-level Korean talent.

4. Huni kicked off his career by getting picked up by the EU LCS powerhouse Fnatic in 2015.

5. The transition to a Western organization was difficult for Huni, as at the time he spoke very little English.

9. The team went on to win the spring tournament, defeating UoL.

10. Huni’s fame skyrocketed after his play at MSI that year. His unusual picks won the crowd over, and he and Fnatic went into the Summer Split with the wind at their back.

11. That summer Huni and Fnatic made history. They were undefeated in the regular season with 18 wins and not a single loss.

12. This was the first time that a team had gone undefeated in the history of the LCS.

13. Having risen from relative obscurity over less than a year, Huni was now one of the most popular League of Legends pros.

21. Immortals wrapped up their split with just one loss on their record, but they faltered in the playoffs and took 3rd place.

22. They were the second-ranked team at the end of the Summer Split, and much of their success was due to Huni beginning to adapt his champion pool to the new meta.

23. Once again, however, Immortals underperformed in the playoffs, and they and Huni ended the split in 3rd place.

24. Immortals did not qualify for worlds in 2016, much to Huni’s disappointment.

28. Upon returning home to Korea, Huni was energized and took his gameplay to the next level.

29. Huni and SKT went 16-2 during the regular season and picked up the LCK title.

30. Things got rough during the Summer Split, and Huni’s declining play caused him to be subbed out for a large number of games.

31. Huni was subbed back in for worlds, and SKT made it to the finals before losing to Samsung Galaxy.

32. He had enjoyed his run in Korea, but he realized that playing in the U.S. was a better experience. Huni moved back to NA to join Echo Fox as their starting toplaner.

Huni had one of the most memorable win streaks in the history of League of Legends, but he is not done playing. His return to NA has excited his massive fanbase there, and the future looks bright for the 20-year-old Korean star.
