Inspired LoL: Career, Champions and Worlds 2026

Kacper “Inspired” Słoma is a Polish League of Legends jungler who plays for LYON in North America. He is known for a fighter-first jungle pool built around Xin Zhao and Wukong. His record includes domestic titles in 2022, 2024 and 2025 and a 3rd–4th finish at MSI 2022 with Evil Geniuses. In 2026 he heads to Worlds with LYON after a season spent across the LCS splits and First Stand.

Inspired’s 2026 has been busier than 2025 but less dominant. He has already played more pro games than in all of 2025, across the LCS Lock-In, Spring and Summer splits plus First Stand 2026. He is winning a smaller share of them than the 70.3% he finished 2025 on, and his KDA sits below the 5.12 he closed that year with.

His role in fights has changed more than his results. In 2025 he dealt 16.0% of his team’s damage. This year his damage share and damage/min are both lower, while his CS/min, gold/min and vision per minute are all higher. A jungler who farms more, wards more and leaves the damage to his carries fits that profile. It also matches his move toward Jarvan IV, Trundle and Sejuani in the Summer playoffs.

Kill participation has also dipped slightly from 2025, but none of these drops is dramatic. He still dies rarely for a jungler who plays this many engage champions. The bigger story is the shift from dealing the damage to setting it up, and he is doing it with a slightly wider pool than last year.

Xin Zhao and Wukong are the core of Inspired’s 2026 champions. They are his two most played picks, and both sit above his overall win rate for the season. Both are skirmishers that want to fight early around river and then stay in front-to-back teamfights. That is the style his career has been built on.

Jarvan IV gives him the best results on a real sample. Among his champions with ten or more games, it has the highest win rate, and it has become his go-to engage pick when LYON wants to start fights rather than react to them. Trundle has a smaller sample but has won almost every time he drafted it. That makes it the safest frontline answer he has this year.

Nocturne and Vi are the soft spots. Nocturne sits at an even split, even though it produced some of his cleanest wins of the year. Vi has a losing record and has dropped out of his recent drafts. Skarner, Lee Sin, Sejuani and Pantheon fill the middle of the pool with winning records on samples of five to seven games.

Malphite, Qiyana, Naafiri, Jayce and Ornn sit below five games, so they are pocket picks rather than proven ones. They show he will flex into a counterpick or a carry when the draft asks for it, but the samples are too small to judge. If you want to learn the fighter jungle style he plays, start with our guides and use his Xin Zhao and Wukong games as the reference.

Across his career, Xin Zhao, Sejuani, Trundle, Lee Sin and Wukong are his staples, and Kha’Zix and Fiddlesticks are also part of his signature list.

Inspired builds his fighters to stay in fights, not to burst a target and leave. On Xin Zhao the core is Black Cleaver and Sundered Sky. Death’s Dance or Titanic Hydra comes in as the extra damage piece, and Guardian Angel is the late safety net. Black Cleaver shreds armor for his whole team, and Sundered Sky rewards the extended trades Xin Zhao takes once he is on top of a carry.

Wukong is anchored by Trinity Force, again paired with Sundered Sky and Guardian Angel. Black Cleaver and Serpent’s Fang are the situational slots, for armor-stacking teams and shield-heavy compositions respectively. Both champions run the same page: Conqueror with Triumph, Legend: Alacrity and Cut Down, plus an Inspiration secondary of Magical Footwear and Cosmic Insight. That page is built for long fights and frequent Flash and Smite usage, not for one-shot ganks.

Nocturne is the exception. Experimental Hexplate and Stridebreaker come first, and Kaenic Rookern and Abyssal Mask add magic resist when the enemy team leans on magic damage. The keystone switches to Lethal Tempo, with a Domination secondary of Sixth Sense and Ultimate Hunter. Ultimate Hunter shortens his ultimate’s cooldown, so the page is built for more map-wide dives per game.

Guardian Angel appears on all three champions, and that says the most about how he wants games to go. He expects to be in the middle of the deciding teamfight and wants a second life there. He is not planning to sit at the back and wait for a flank.

His latest games come from the LCS 2026 Summer Playoffs against Shopify Rebellion, Cloud9 and Team Liquid. The champion spread is the story. He played Jarvan IV, Trundle, Sejuani and Skarner when LYON drafted engage and frontline, and Qiyana, Kha’Zix and Lee Sin when the jungle had to carry. Every game in the table links to its video.

Watch his best Xin Zhao, Wukong and Nocturne games of the season below. They are the cleanest examples of how he plays his three most-picked champions.

Inspired was born on 24 January 2002 in Poland, and every team in his history lists him in the jungle. His career history starts with Evil Geniuses, which he joined on 14 January 2022. That first year was his breakout. He won the LCS 2022 Spring Playoffs, finished 3rd–4th at MSI 2022 and then won LCS 2022 Summer. His time with Evil Geniuses ended on 9 April 2023.

He joined FlyQuest on 20 January 2024 and kept winning, taking LCS 2024 Spring and the LCS 2024 Championship. In 2025 he added LTA North 2025 Split 2, the Split 2 Playoffs, Split 3 and the LTA 2025 Championship. Those results made him one of the steadiest title-winners in the region over that stretch.

In 2026 he plays for LYON. With them he has competed in the LCS 2026 Lock-In, Spring and Summer splits and at First Stand 2026, where his Xin Zhao and Wukong games against LOUD rank among his best of the year. For other players and organizations in the region, browse our esports hub.

Inspired’s achievements are built on consistency. He has first-place finishes in 2022, 2024 and 2025, and his titles come in clusters rather than one-off runs. Both 2022 titles came in his first year with Evil Geniuses, and 2025 brought a string of LTA North wins capped by the season-ending championship.

Three results stand out. His 3rd–4th finish at MSI 2022 is his best international placing on record. The LCS 2024 Championship and the LTA 2025 Championship are back-to-back season-ending titles. They are the clearest proof that his teams peak at the right time of year, and they explain why he arrives at international events with a reputation in North America.

Inspired is at Worlds 2026 with LYON, which qualified as North America #2. The team goes straight into the Main Event and starts in the Swiss stage on 23 October 2026, with the Knockouts to follow for teams that advance. Follow every stage on the Worlds 2026 hub.
