100 Thieves announced on their official Twitter account the successful signing of Choi “huhi” Jae-hyun in the mid lane. Huhi has been part of CLG since 2015 as their substitute player and has started in the team since Season 6. Being a former LCS champion and MSI finalist, his prestige in both regional and international play is likely to bring the organisation to highs they have yet to reach.
Welcome @Huhi as our starting League of Legends Mid Laner for the 2019 season. He brings a unique energy & perspective to our team. We’re so excited to have him a part of 100 Thieves and can’t wait to see him in action next year! #100T
