Flame signs to Immortals
One of the best top laners of all time is coming to North America. Lee “Flame” Ho-jong has signed with Immortals.
Flame is the fourth player to be revealed on Immortal’s 2017 roster, joined by jungler Joshua “Dardoch” Hartnett, mid laner Eugene “Pobelter” Park, and rookie AD carry Cody Sun. Their support has yet to be announced.
Considered by many to be the best player to never win a domestic title in Korea, Flame was a member of the Azubu Blaze/CJ Entus Blaze roster that was always a threat in 2013 and 2014, but never quite managed to live up to its full potential. Known as the primary carry for the Blaze, Flame helped define what a carry top laner was during the early days of competitive League of Legends.
For the past year, he’s been on and off the starting roster of Longzhu Gaming, where he split time with Gu “Expession” Bon-taek for the top lane spot.
