JackeyLove LoL: Career, Champions and Worlds 2026

JackeyLove, real name Yu Wen-Bo (喻文波), is the Chinese bot laner for Top Esports in the LPL and one of the most decorated marksman players in LoL. He won Worlds 2018 with Invictus Gaming as a teenager, joined Top Esports in January 2020, and built his name on a bot lane pool that runs through Draven, Kai’Sa, Xayah, Lucian and Ezreal. In 2026 he is back at Worlds with Top Esports.

JackeyLove’s 2026 is quieter and less winning than his 2025, but he carries a bigger share of the load in the games he plays. He has played far fewer pro games so far than the 183 he logged last season, and his win rate sits below the 62.3% he finished 2025 with.

The per-minute numbers tell the more interesting story. He is farming more, earning more gold and dealing more damage per minute than in 2025, and his share of Top Esports’ damage is up. At the same time his kill participation and assists are down, which reads as a bot laner who is being fed resources and asked to finish fights himself rather than serve as one piece of a five-man teamfight.

The cost shows in his KDA, which is lower than last year because he dies a little more often while taking those fights. For a team built around its bot lane, that trade is usually acceptable: a carry who takes risks for damage loses some efficiency, but the team gets more from the gold it invests in him.

Ezreal and Ashe are the core of JackeyLove’s 2026 pool. They are his two most played champions this season and the two with the best results on a meaningful sample. Ezreal gives Top Esports a safe, poke-heavy lane that grows into a reliable damage source, while Ashe brings utility the team can draft around, with slows and a long-range engage that open fights for the rest of the map.

The surprise sits right behind them. Jhin and Lucian, his next most played champions, both carry losing records this season, and Lucian is one of his career signatures. Several of those Lucian games came in high-pressure series against Invictus Gaming late in the year, and a lane-dominant champion like Lucian loses much of his value when the early game does not snowball.

Beyond those four, the pool is wide. Yunara, Corki and Sivir each have a real share of games, and Ziggs shows up as a mage option for drafts that want wave clear and range over auto-attack damage. Miss Fortune, Kalista and Kai’Sa appear only a handful of times, so treat them as pocket picks rather than a read on form.

Across his career, the staples are Ezreal, Varus, Kai’Sa, Xayah and Lucian, the champions he has played most in pro games, with Ashe and Varus standing out for how often he has won on them over large samples.

His Ezreal is a Lethal Tempo Ezreal built around Muramana, Trinity Force and Spear of Shojin, with Endless Hunger as the alternative third piece. That is a spell-weaving build: Trinity Force and Spear of Shojin reward landing Q and following up with auto-attacks, and Lethal Tempo leans further into those autos instead of a burst keystone. It says he wants extended trades and long fights where Ezreal keeps hitting, not a lane of pure poke.

Ashe runs the same Lethal Tempo page with Approach Velocity in the Inspiration tree, built around Phantom Dancer, Infinity Edge, Hexoptics C44 and Lord Dominik’s Regards. That is a crit-and-range setup: Hexoptics C44 and Phantom Dancer help her hold distance in fights, while Approach Velocity rewards chasing targets her slows have already marked.

Jhin is the outlier. He switches to Fleet Footwork with a Sorcery secondary (Celerity and Gathering Storm) and builds around Rapid Firecannon, Infinity Edge and either Stormrazor or Youmuu’s Ghostblade. Fleet Footwork and Gathering Storm trade raw lane pressure for sustain and late-game scaling, which fits a champion he plays from long range rather than through repeated trades.

Two choices run through all three champions: Barrier with Flash, and Presence of Mind, Legend: Bloodline and Cut Down in the Precision tree. Barrier over Heal or Cleanse says he expects to be dived and wants to survive the first burst rather than out-sustain a trade.

His latest games come from the LPL 2026 Grand Finals and the LPL 2026 Regional Finals, almost all of them multi-game series against his former organization, Invictus Gaming. Ezreal, Lucian and Zeri were his most frequent answers in those series, with Ashe, Corki, Jhin and Kalista mixed in as Top Esports kept changing its bot lane looks from game to game.

JackeyLove has spent his entire pro career with two LPL organizations. He joined Invictus Gaming on 18 November 2016, his birthday, and won Nest 2016 within days. By 2018 he was the bot laner on one of the best teams in the world: Invictus Gaming won LPL 2018 Spring, LPL 2018 Summer and then Worlds 2018.

2019 brought the LPL 2019 Spring Playoffs title and two 3rd–4th finishes on the international stage, at MSI 2019 and Worlds 2019. His time at Invictus Gaming ended on 10 November 2019, and on 13 January 2020 he joined Top Esports.

His first Top Esports year was his most productive since 2018: Mid-Season Cup 2020, LPL 2020 Summer and the LPL 2020 Summer Playoffs, followed by a 3rd–4th finish at Worlds 2020. LPL 2022 Summer and a runner-up finish at the Esports World Cup 2024 kept him near the top of the league, and 2025 was a return to full dominance in China, with all three LPL splits and another 3rd–4th finish at Worlds 2025.

More than a thousand pro games in, he remains Top Esports’ starting bot laner and the player the team’s draft is often built around. The career table lists both stints with their dates.

Worlds 2018 is the headline result. It is the only world title on his record and the standard every later Worlds run is measured against. He has reached the final four at Worlds three more times, finishing 3rd–4th in 2019, 2020 and 2025, which makes him one of the most consistent deep-run marksmen of his generation in international play.

Domestically, the 2025 sweep of LPL 2025 Split 1 Playoffs, Split 2 and Split 3 stands out because it came years after his first LPL titles with Invictus Gaming, showing how long he has stayed at the top of the league. The table below lists every title, including his Demacia Cup and Nest wins.

JackeyLove is at Worlds 2026 with Top Esports, who qualified as China #3. 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.
