TSM's Heo "Huni" Seung-hoon has retired from professional League of Legends, the North American organization and the veteran top laner announced Tuesday.
Competing for a multitude of prominent League of Legends teams across the world since 2015, including Fnatic, Immortals, SK Telecom T1 and TSM, Huni's near-eight-year career comes to an end after continuing to deal with recurring wrist injuries in 2022. His plan appears to be to continue working in the esports industry.
"It was a pleasure to be a professional player in League of Legends," Huni said in his announcement video. "Hopefully people will miss me as a funny top laner, I guess. Not just a random top laner. Hopefully I could be [ranked] maybe top 10 [of all-time]."
On July 12, TSM announced that Huni decided to step down from its starting top lane position because of his injuries. About a week later, Huni was officially named a top lane coach for TSM in the middle of the Summer Split.
In a TwitLonger post, Huni announced that his contract has officially been terminated with TSM.
"I'm in a position where I can't play anymore so I've decided to retire," Huni's statement reads. "I haven't specifically decided what I will do for the future but hope I stay around esports industry since haven't won LCS yet, So Time to win as a staff maybe?
"I'm really exciting for a new begin for my life hope everyone is doing well!"
As noted in his retirement video, Huni tallied 549 games played, four titles and three Worlds appearances during his career.
