LPL Player Surpasses Both Chovy and Faker in a Specific Stat
Currently, alongside the ongoing drama, the LPL tournament has reached its final match with a showdown between BLG and JDG in the grand finals. At the same time, this region has determined two names that will participate in the upcoming First Stand 2026, namely JDG and BLG. The final match will only serve to determine who is the “king of the Split 1 phase.” However, before the match begins, JunJia has set a milestone, surpassing both Chovy and Faker: he has participated in all international tournaments for over 3 consecutive years, from 2023 to the present.
Accordingly, since 2023, JunJia has fully participated in MSI, Worlds, and in the 2025 season, he also participated in First Stand and EWC. If we cannot count EWC as a tournament in Riot’s system, then JunJia has even surpassed both Faker and Chovy. Perhaps many still remember, the top mid-lane duo from LCK and the League of Legends scene in general were absent from last year’s First Stand.
At the same time, JunJia and HongQ have become the only two players from PCS who can participate in this year’s First Stand. After this duo left, CFO also lost its strength. Meanwhile, another team from Chinese Taipei, Deep Cross Gaming, has not really found their rhythm in the early season.
But it will definitely not be easy for LPL teams this time
Not just JDG with JunJia, but even BLG will find it hard to create surprises at this year’s First Stand. Simply put, the representative from LCK, Gen.G – a name that always proves its strength whenever participating in tournaments throughout the year, from domestic to international, except for Worlds. And this year, Gen.G is showing perfect form. At the same time, the LCK players will be extremely determined, as this is an opportunity for the Gen.G stars to secure their spots further in the upcoming ASIAD lineup.
