Career LoL: Champions, Stats and Worlds 2026

Career is a South Korean support, real name Oh Hyeong-seok (오형석), who plays for Dplus Kia in the LCK. He is known for an enchanter-first pool built on Lulu, Bard and Karma, with playmakers such as Rakan and Pyke among his signature champions. Born on 29 August 2004, he heads to Worlds 2026 as a fresh Esports World Cup 2026 champion.

His 2026 season is a cleaner version of 2025, not a different player. He is winning slightly more often than last year’s 54.9% and dying less per game, while taking a smaller share of his team’s damage than the 9% he posted in 2025. The overall picture is a support who gives up less and asks for less of the spotlight.

The table shows where that shift comes from. Kills and assists per game are down, vision per minute is up, and kill participation has barely moved. In plain terms, he is still present for almost every fight Dplus Kia takes, but he is spending more of his time on wards and positioning and less on throwing damage into the frontline.

His game count is lower than last year’s, which is partly a matter of timing: the 2026 season is still running, with Worlds ahead. Judge the volume once the year closes, and read the rate stats (KDA, vision, damage per minute) as the better guide to how his role has changed.

Lulu is his most played champion this season, but she is not his best one. Her record sits close to even, which makes her the comfort pick Dplus Kia falls back on when the draft needs a safe enchanter, rather than a champion that wins games on its own. The champions that actually win for him on a real sample are Karma and Bard.

Karma is the standout. Across a double-digit sample she carries one of the highest win rates and the best KDA in his main pool, and her damage per minute is well above what he does on Lulu or Milio. Bard is the other reliable answer: a winning record, low deaths and the roaming threat that fits his signature list. Milio also holds a winning record and is the pick he uses when the bot lane wants raw sustain.

Seraphine is the clear weak point. She has as many games as Karma this season but a heavily losing record, and she showed up again in the playoff series against T1. If you are drafting against Dplus Kia, she is the support pick the numbers say you can let through.

The pocket picks are Shen and Camille. Both have small samples, just above the threshold where a record means anything, and both have been winning. Shen gives him a global R to join fights from bot lane, and Camille gives Dplus Kia a lane-bully support that can also flex. Treat them as draft surprises rather than staples.

Across his whole career, Rakan, Bard, Lulu, Alistar and Renata Glasc are the staples, and Bard has the best record of the most played ones.

The career table also explains why the 2026 pool looks the way it does. Engage tanks such as Alistar, Rell and Nautilus fill a lot of his career games, but most of them sit at or below an even record. His winning career picks lean toward Bard, Karma, Renata Glasc and Poppy, champions that either peel or create their own picks rather than diving first.

His builds on Lulu, Bard and Karma share one idea: keep the carry alive through the first big crowd-control chain. Mikael’s Blessing appears on all three, and he runs Flash and Heal on every one of them. That is a support who expects to fight around his ADC rather than walk off to roam alone.

On Lulu he builds Ardent Censer first in most games, then Mikael’s Blessing, with Shurelya’s Battlesong as the third piece when the team needs to engage or disengage at speed. Karma follows the same template but swaps Ardent Censer for Echoes of Helia, which suits her higher damage output. Both run Summon Aery in Sorcery with Nimbus Cloak, Transcendence and Scorch, and Inspiration secondary for Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight.

Scorch and Aery tell you how he plays lane on these champions: constant short trades to chip the enemy duo, then a reset. Moonstone Renewer shows up only occasionally, which suggests he prefers the burst-buffing Ardent Censer to long-fight healing in most drafts.

Bard is where his build changes character. Locket of the Iron Solari is his first item every time, followed by Mikael’s Blessing and Bandlepipes. The runes switch to Electrocute in Domination with Cheap Shot, Deep Ward and Relentless Hunter, so the plan is to roam, find a stun, and burst a target with the follow-up. Deep Ward and Relentless Hunter both reward him for moving around the map between waves.

His latest games come from the LCK 2026 Season Playoffs in early September, against BNK FEARX, KT Rolster and T1. The champion spread is the story: Lulu, Milio, Karma, Leona, Neeko, Rell, Seraphine and even Camille all appeared inside a few days, so Dplus Kia used his pool as a draft tool rather than locking him onto one comfort pick.

Leaguepedia’s history for Career lists two team entries. The first is a brief BNK FEARX listing as support, running from 30 November 2024 to 8 December 2024. The second is his move to Dplus Kia, which began on 6 December 2025 and is where he plays today.

Before joining Dplus Kia, he logged a full 2025 season of 184 pro games with a 101–83 record, which is the base his current numbers are measured against. His career totals now run past 450 games, and the career table keeps the exact count current.

His first season at Dplus Kia has been his most successful. He reached an international final and won it in July, and he has kept a winning record in the LCK while taking on a broader set of champions than the engage-heavy pool that dominated his earlier years.

The headline result is first place at the Esports World Cup 2026, won on 19 July 2026. It is his first listed title, and it came in his debut year with Dplus Kia, which moves him from a solid LCK support to one with an international trophy against the best teams in the world.

That title also matters for how to read his stats. A support whose damage share is falling and whose vision is rising does not stand out in a box score, but a tournament win shows that the quieter, setup-first style is working for the team around him.

Career is at Worlds 2026 with Dplus Kia, who qualified as the Korea #4 seed. The team goes straight into the Main Event and starts in the Swiss stage on 23 October 2026, with the Knockouts to follow for the teams that advance.
