Harky LoL: Career, Champions and Worlds 2026

Harky (Nguyễn Văn Hữu, born 21 August 2005) is a Vietnamese League of Legends bot laner who plays for MVK Esports in the LCP. He is known for a farm-first, low-risk style built around Ezreal and Ashe, and for a pocket of mages he can take into the bot lane when the draft calls for range and waveclear. In 2026 he became a starter on a team that qualified for Worlds.

Harky’s 2026 is a clear step up from 2025. He has played far more games this year, and he is winning more of them than he loses, a reversal of a 2025 season that ended at 46 games and a 45.7% win rate. The busier schedule comes from a full year as a starter across the LCP splits.

The shape of his play has changed too. He dies less often per game than last year while farming and earning more gold per minute, so his KDA has climbed even though his kill count dipped. His share of the team’s damage and his kill participation sit close to their 2025 levels, which suggests the same role on the map with fewer throwaway deaths.

For a reader, the lesson is in the deaths column. A bot laner who stays alive keeps collecting waves, and the higher farm rate this year follows from that. If your games feel close but you keep losing the late fights, look at how many of your deaths came from walking up without vision rather than from mechanics.

Ezreal is the center of Harky’s pool. It is his most played champion this season and the one with the best results on a real sample, ahead of Ashe in second place. Both carry a winning record over more than ten games, which makes them his comfort picks rather than draft surprises.

Behind them sit Corki, Jhin and Lucian. Corki gives him a second poke-and-scale option alongside Ezreal, and Jhin has been his cleanest champion in terms of deaths, with a KDA well above the rest of the list. Lucian is the outlier: a lane-bully pick that has only broken even for him this year, so it looks like a matchup answer more than a first choice.

The tail of the pool tells you about MVK’s drafting. Ziggs, Mel, Syndra, Taliyah and Xerath have all appeared in the bot lane, each on fewer than five games. That sample is too small to call any of them strong or weak, but the range shows the team is willing to put a mage in bot when it wants waveclear, siege or a counter to an enemy lane bully.

Caitlyn, Kalista, Sivir and Xayah round out the season list, again on small samples. Caitlyn has had rough results in her few outings, but four games are not enough to draw a conclusion. Treat these as situational answers rather than signs of a problem.

Across his career, his signature champions are Ezreal, Ashe, Varus, Corki and Lucian; Varus has not been played since early June 2026, and Kai’Sa, once a regular, has dropped out of his recent drafts.

Harky’s builds point to a player who wants long games he can win through poke and steady trades. On Ezreal he opens with Muramana and Trinity Force in every game, then leans on Endless Hunger, Spear of Shojin or Serylda’s Grudge depending on how much sustain or armor penetration the fight needs. Lethal Tempo in Precision with an Inspiration secondary keeps the build focused on extended trading rather than burst.

Ashe follows the classic crit path. Phantom Dancer is his standard opener, with Infinity Edge and Kraken Slayer as the usual follow-ups, and Hexoptics C44 appears when he wants more range for kiting. He takes Lethal Tempo here too, but swaps Jack Of All Trades for Approach Velocity, which fits Ashe’s role as the champion who sets up slows and lets the team collapse.

Corki shares Ezreal’s Muramana and Trinity Force core, then adds The Collector for execute damage. The keystone shifts to Conqueror with Legend: Alacrity, a sign he expects drawn-out trades where stacking damage matters more than raw attack speed. On all three champions he runs Barrier with Flash, a safety-first choice that matches his low death rate.

Harky’s latest games come from LCP 2026 Split 3, in series against CTBC Flying Oyster and GAM Esports in late August. He reached for his core marksmen, Ezreal, Ashe, Jhin and Corki, and also brought out Syndra and Xerath, which shows the mage pocket pool is still live going into the international season.

Harky started his professional career in Vietnam with Team Whales, the organization later known as Team Secret Whales. He played bot lane there from 24 February 2023 to 10 March 2024, which gave him his first stretch of competitive games and the early part of his Varus and Kai’Sa record.

The scoreboards also log a 2025 season for him that ended with more losses than wins. On 4 April 2026 he joined MVK Esports as the starting bot laner, and his first day with the organization in LCP 2026 Split 2 already produced wins on Ezreal and Corki that now sit among his best games.

The move to MVK coincides with the best year of his career on every measure the tables track: more games, a winning record and fewer deaths. Leaguepedia does not list any titles for him yet, so his standing rests on that season-long consistency and the team’s qualification for Worlds rather than on trophies.

Harky is at Worlds 2026 with MVK Esports, Asia Pacific’s third seed. The team starts in the Play-Ins, the Play-In phase of the event, which begins on 15 October 2026; the Swiss stage and Knockouts follow for the teams that advance.

It is his first appearance at the World Championship, and it will test whether an Ezreal and Ashe pool built in the LCP holds up against bot lanes from other regions. Follow every stage on the Worlds 2026 hub, and find more player and team pages in our esports coverage.
