Following his team's victory against T1 in Week 7 of the LCK Summer Season, Gen.G Peyz has become the youngest player to reach 1000 kills in the LCK.

The record-breaking performance came in Game 1 of the series against T1. In a standout showing on Senna, Peyz was voted player of the game after leading his team to victory and finishing the game with a KDA of 6/1/10.

Kim "Peyz" Su-Hwan had immense shoes to fill when he initially joined Gen.G in November of 2022, at only 16 years of age.

The team chose Peyz to replace none other than former World Champion AD carry Park "Ruler" Jae-Hyuk, following the star player's move to Chinese powerhouse JD Gaming.

The young AD carry never shied away from pressure, however, and has been a standout player in what has become the most dominant team in LCK history.

Now, at just 18 years old, Peyz has become the youngest player to reach 1000 kills in the LCK, while also doing it in the lowest amount of games played. Peyz has also had the honor of breaching the 1000 assists threshold.

It seems only fitting that the historic feat has come against reigning World Champions and long-time LCK rivals T1.

Locke, the Ashen Exorcist, is a Demacian AP assassin built for the midlane, and from the very first glimpse of his concept art, it's clear the design team had a strong, unified vision for who he is and what he represents.

Locke in League of Legends: Abilities, Playstyle, Release Date

Riot’s newest champion, Corvin Locke, arrives as a nail-slinging exorcist versed in forbidden rites, shaped by a childhood steeped in Demacian lies and hypocrisy. Born to Demacian occultists, Locke grew up learning a brutal lesson: demons are not the source of humanity’s darkness, but its consequence. That belief drives his mission now—to tear through every soul, expose its hidden rot, and make the world a little more honest, one exorcism at a time.
