Chovy Nominated as Best Esports Athlete

Jeong Ji-hoon, better known in the gaming community as Chovy, has been recognised and nominated as Best Esports Athlete at the Esports Awards 2025, reinforcing his status as an elite player in the competitive gaming sphere.

Currently part of Gen.G Esports, Chovy has significantly contributed to the team’s supremacy in the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK). He is particularly known for setting a remarkable 100 KDA record in 2019, a feat that no other player has been able to replicate in a professional league.

Throughout 2025, Chovy’s performance has been exemplary:

• He was the recipient of the LCK 2025 Regular Season MVP award, marking the fourth time he has been honoured with this award and cementing his reputation as one of the greatest players in League of Legends history.
• Gen.G displayed their overall strength by winning the LCK Awards, with Chovy recognized as the team’s intellect in the mid lane.
• Both analysts and fellow players commonly rank Chovy among the top players, lauding his abilities, especially in tense game situations.

In several interviews, Chovy has accredited much of his 2025 success to his adaptability to new formats such as the Fearless Draft and the extended regular season. He has always underlined the importance of teamwork and tenacity over personal achievements.
