To many LCK fans, he's a player that many are fond of. Bae “Bang” Jun-sik, a 2-time world champion and currently the Bot laner for Evil Geniuses, sent Inven a letter which details his life in the United States, his thoughts on the 2020 LCS split so far, and his goals for the future.

Colin "Kumo" Zhao will join Jungler Dennis "Svenskeren" Johnsen, Bot Laner Bae "Bang" Jun-sik, and Support Tristan "Zeyzal" Stidham as confirmed members of the EG roster.

with Cloud9's Eric "Licorice" Ritchie sidelined by wrist pain and Kim "Ssumday" Chan-ho starting for 100 Thieves Academy, Impact has solidified himself as the best Top Laner in the LCS.
After Cloud9's victory against Team Liquid, Kumo joined Inven Global's Nick Geracie to discuss his near-flawless transition to the starting roster.
Top Laner Ziqing "Kumo" Zhao and Support David "Diamond" Bérubé will be making their respective LCS debuts, and Bot Laner Yuri "Keith" Jew will start in the LCS for the first time since the 2018 NA LCS Summer Split.
