Delight LoL: Career, Champions and Worlds 2026

Delight is a South Korean League of Legends (LoL) support who has played for Hanwha Life Esports since January 2024. Born Yoo Hwan-joong on 12 September 2002, he built his reputation on engage supports such as Rakan, Alistar and Rell. He has turned that into a long list of trophies: LCK titles with two organizations, First Stand 2025 and MSI 2026.

His 2026 has added a new layer. Bard and enchanters such as Seraphine and Milio now sit beside his engage staples, and HLE has qualified for Worlds 2026 after winning MSI in July.

Delight’s 2026 is a close copy of an excellent 2025, with the team winning slightly less often and Delight himself playing slightly cleaner. In 2025 he went through 169 games at a 64.5% win rate, and this year’s win rate sits a little below that mark. That is still a record most LCK supports would take in any season.

His individual line has improved where a support controls it most. His KDA is a fraction above last year’s 3.99, his deaths per game have edged down, and his vision per minute has risen clearly, the biggest change anywhere in his numbers. His gold per minute is up as well, a sign HLE is feeding him more resources or that he is finding more of them on roams.

He takes a slightly smaller share of the team’s fights than before. In 2025 he posted a 7.5% damage share and a 75.8% kill participation, and both have dipped a little this year. That fits a support who spends more time warding and setting up plays than trading in lane.

His pool is also tighter. He played 24 champions in 2025 and has used fewer this season, concentrating his games on a core of Bard, Seraphine, Alistar, Lulu and Milio.

Bard is Delight’s most played champion of 2026 and one of his most successful on a real sample. The roaming picks suit the higher vision and gold numbers above: Bard lets him leave lane, ward deep and pick fights off-screen. Seraphine and Alistar follow close behind, and both carry clearly winning records.

Milio has the best record among his busy picks and the highest KDA of the group. Karma has also worked on a smaller sample. Together with Seraphine, these enchanters give HLE a protective option when the draft calls for scaling or poke rather than hard engage.

Two picks have not worked. Lulu and Nautilus both have losing records on double-digit samples, and Nautilus is one of his career signatures, so the dip says more about the champion’s fit this year than about his comfort on it. Shen, a flex pick he has used as a support, sits below even as well.

Camille is the outlier. A top laner played in the support role, she gives him the highest damage output in his pool and also the most deaths, the profile of an all-in lane bully. Her record is winning, which makes her a real counter-pick rather than a gimmick. Pyke, Nami, Blitzcrank and Leona have too few games this year to judge.

Across his career, Rakan is the champion he has played most and Alistar the signature pick with the best win rate, while Rell, Leona and Nautilus complete the engage core he built at Fredit BRION and Gen.G.

Delight’s builds favor team protection and mobility over personal damage. On Bard he runs Electrocute in Domination with Cheap Shot, Deep Ward and Relentless Hunter, plus Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight from Inspiration. That rune page is built for roaming: out-of-combat speed to move between lanes, warding tools for deep vision, and a burst keystone to finish picks.

His Bard items are defensive, not aggressive. Mikael’s Blessing and Locket of the Iron Solari are his standard pair, with Bandlepipes and Knight’s Vow as situational options. The plan is clear: make plays early with the runes, then turn into a peeler who keeps his carries alive in late fights.

Seraphine follows the enchanter template. He builds Echoes of Helia and Diadem of Songs, with Moonstone Renewer and Mikael’s Blessing as follow-ups, and runs Summon Aery with Manaflow Band, Transcendence and Scorch. That setup rewards long fights with constant heals and shields, the opposite of his Bard plan.

Alistar shows the most inventive choice. He takes Unsealed Spellbook in Inspiration, which lets him swap Summoner spells during the game, with Hextech Flashtraption, Biscuit Delivery and Cosmic Insight, plus Nimbus Cloak and Celerity from Sorcery. Locket of the Iron Solari and Zeke’s Convergence are his core items. He pairs Flash with Heal on all three champions, a choice that keeps his bot lane harder to kill in early skirmishes.

These setups belong to the patches they were played on, so check the patch notes before copying an item order, and use our guides for the support fundamentals behind them.

His latest games come from the LCK 2026 Season Playoffs in September, against Gen.G on 5 and 13 September and T1 on 12 September. He drafted widely across those series, reaching for Karma, Seraphine, Bard and Lulu against Gen.G, Rakan and Alistar against T1, and Renata Glasc and Pyke in the earlier Gen.G meeting.

Delight’s career has moved in three clear steps, each one bigger than the last. He started at Fredit BRION, where he played support from 13 January 2021 to 14 August 2022. Those years produced no titles, but they are where the Rakan, Alistar and Leona base of his career pool began.

His breakout came at Gen.G, where he played from 18 January 2023 to 19 November 2023. In that single year he won the LCK 2023 Spring Playoffs and the LCK 2023 Summer Playoffs, and finished 4th at MSI 2023. One season was enough to move him from a mid-table roster into title contention.

He joined Hanwha Life Esports on 17 January 2024 and has stayed there since, his longest spell with any organization. HLE won the LCK 2024 Summer Playoffs in his first year, the LCK Cup 2025 and First Stand 2025 in his second, and a domestic and international run in 2026 capped by MSI.

MSI 2026, won on 12 July 2026, is the biggest result on Delight’s record. It closes the gap from his 4th place at MSI 2023 and joins First Stand 2025 as an international title. In 2026 alone HLE also won the LCK 2026 Rounds 1–2 and the LCK 2026 Road to MSI before taking the trophy.

The domestic record matters as much. He has won LCK titles with Gen.G and with HLE, which shows his results are not tied to one roster or one coaching staff. The one major event without a result on his list is Worlds, which is what makes HLE’s 2026 campaign the next test of his standing.

Delight is at Worlds 2026 with Hanwha Life Esports, which enters as Korea #2. The organization starts in the Main Event’s Swiss stage on 23 October 2026, and both the Swiss stage and the knockouts are still to be played. Follow every stage on the Worlds 2026 hub.
