Just a few months after winning LPL Player of the Year at the 2025 League Awards, Lee "Tarzan" Seung-yong keeps racking up the accolades. This time around, the South Korean Jungler was named Regular Season MVP at the LPL 2026 Split 1 Awards.

With Seo "Kanavi" Jin-hyeok moving overseas to compete in the LCK with Hanwha Life Esports, Tarzan looks to have no competition for the title of best Jungler in the LPL so far this season. Over the course of the Split 1 Regular Season, Tarzan finished first among all Junglers in Group Ascend in KDA (4.58), CS per minute (7.33), gold per minute (407), and damage per minute (531.3).
