North American esports team TSM have completed their League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) roster with South Korean jungler Lee “Bugi” Seong-yeop and Vietnamese bot laner Toàn “Neo” Trần.
The roster now consists of Bugi, Neo, American top laner Colin “Solo” Earnest, Taiwanese mid laner Huang “Maple” Yi-Tang, and Canadian support player Jonathan “Chime” Pomponio.
Neo is regarded as a player with high potential, although he has not had much experience in top-tier esports. The 23-year-old player has been on Team Dignitas’ academy roster, although he has also made a few appearances on their main roster.
On the other hand, Bugi commenced his pro career in 2017 while playing for SCARZ. The 24-year-old South Korean has also played for renowned League of Legends teams such as Furious Gaming, Flash Wolves, V3 Esports, and Estral Esports.
While representing these teams, Bugi has been privileged to grace the international stage. The Korean jungler participated in the group stage of the 2020 League of Legends World Championship while representing V3 Esports, where the team ended in a disappointing 21st–22nd place.
In 2021, Bugi helped Furious Gaming to third place at the LLA Closing, and with Estral he managed second place in the 2022 edition. He also has a couple of individual awards up his sleeve, as he was named Most Valuable Player and Best Foreign Player for the 2021 LLA Opening.
