Quid LoL: Career, Champions and Worlds 2026

Quid, born Lim Hyeon-seung, is a South Korean mid laner who plays for Team Liquid in North America. In League of Legends esports, he is known for a control-mage pool built on Ryze and Orianna, with Yone held in reserve when his team needs a carry in mid. He joined Team Liquid in December 2025 after a stint at 100 Thieves. In his first year with the organization, he won the LCS 2026 Summer Playoffs and qualified for Worlds 2026.

Quid’s 2026 season is busier and more successful than his 2025. He has already played more pro games than in the whole of last year, when he went 42–35 with a 54.5% win rate over 77 games. Team Liquid has also won a clearly larger share of his games this year. Playoff series in both splits and an MSI 2026 appearance add to that volume.

His stat line has shifted less than his results. His KDA sits close to last year’s level, he dies slightly less often, and he farms slightly more per minute. His share of Team Liquid’s damage and his kill participation are both a little lower than in 2025. Taken together, that describes a mid laner who no longer has to carry every fight. A stronger roster lets him play for lane control and scaling instead of trading his life in skirmishes.

He has also played a wider range of champions than in 2025. That matters for drafting at international events, where opponents target comfort picks. The season stats table holds the full per-minute line, including gold, vision and damage per minute.

Ryze is the center of Quid’s 2026 champion pool. It is his most played champion this year and also his best one on a real sample, with a win rate and a KDA that stand clear of the rest of his pool. When Team Liquid gives him a priority mid pick, Ryze has been the safest choice.

Orianna and Yone form the next tier. Orianna is his teamfight control option, steady across a double-digit sample, and his recent playoff games show he still trusts it in elimination series. Yone covers the opposite need. It gives Team Liquid an AD carry in mid, which frees the team to draft magic damage elsewhere, and it has a winning record this season as well.

Ahri and Viktor round out the regular picks. Viktor stands out for raw output: it has the highest damage per minute of any champion in his 2026 pool, which makes it his choice when the team wants a backline mage to win long fights. Akali, played over a smaller sample, is where his kill numbers peak. It is the champion he uses to turn lane pressure into skirmishes.

Not everything has worked. Aurora is the one regular champion with a losing record this year, even though his career record on it is better. Galio has been a utility pick he leaned on during the summer playoffs, valued for engage and its ultimate rather than its laning. Syndra and Locke are unbeaten so far, but on too few games to call either one strong. Treat them as pocket picks, not proven ones.

The biggest change from his career is Azir. It is the champion he has played most as a pro, yet it has barely appeared in 2026, and his career record on it is a losing one. The table lists every champion he has played this season with its pro win rate.

Across his career, Quid’s signature champions are Azir, Yone, Ryze, Ahri and Orianna, the five he has relied on most as a professional.

Quid’s builds are fixed on the champions he trusts most and flexible on the ones he drafts for a specific job. Ryze is the clearest example. Rod of Ages, Seraph’s Embrace and Actualizer form the core in almost every game. That health-and-mana build wants long games and repeated teamfights. His boots split between Chainlaced Crushers and Swiftmarch, and Zhonya’s Hourglass appears as a defensive option.

His Ryze rune page runs Sorcery with a Resolve secondary, including Manaflow Band and Celerity. He takes Flash with Ghost rather than Teleport. Ghost on Ryze means he wants to move with his team and reach fights first, not hold a side lane alone.

Orianna is his most varied build. Hextech Rocketbelt and Spellslinger’s Shoes are the usual starting points, with Luden’s Echo, Shadowflame and Stormsurge rotating in after them. All three favor burst over sustained output. Rocketbelt in particular turns Orianna into a playmaker who can carry the ball into position for an ultimate. Summon Aery with an Inspiration secondary keeps the lane safe, and Flash plus Teleport leaves a cross-map play available.

Yone is the most consistent of the three. Blade of the Ruined King and Immortal Shieldbow appear in every game, usually alongside Gunmetal Greaves, with Fleet Footwork and a Resolve secondary. That makes a durable, sustained-damage Yone built to survive the first rotation of a teamfight, with Infinity Edge only some of the time.

Builds change with every balance update, so check the latest patch notes before you copy one into ranked. Use our League of Legends guides for the fundamentals behind them.

Quid’s latest games heading into Worlds come from the LCS 2026 Summer Playoffs, where Team Liquid met FlyQuest, Cloud9 and LYON on the way to the title. He spread those series across Orianna, Galio, Viktor, Ahri, Aurora, Yone, Lissandra and Locke, which shows Team Liquid drafting for flexibility rather than one comfort champion.

Quid’s career started in Korea. He played briefly for Gen.G Challengers in December 2021. He then played for Gen.G from 12 January to 20 March 2022, listed at both top and mid, in a short spell that ended before he settled into one role.

His next team was 100 Thieves, which he joined on 14 June 2023 and left on 9 November 2025. With that move to North America he became a full-time mid laner, and it produced his first title, LTA North 2025 Split 1.

Team Liquid signed him on 6 December 2025. His first season there has been a clear step up from 2025, with a higher win rate, an MSI 2026 appearance and the LCS 2026 Summer Playoffs title. The career table lists every team and date.

Quid has won two regional titles, each with a different organization. The LTA North 2025 Split 1 title on 9 February 2025 came during his 100 Thieves years. The LCS 2026 Summer Playoffs on 4 October 2026 was his first trophy with Team Liquid.

Winning with two organizations matters for his standing. It shows his results are not tied to a single roster, and it puts him among the proven winners in North American mid lane heading into international play. Results from every region are collected on our esports hub.

Quid is at Worlds 2026 with Team Liquid, which qualified as North America #1. The team starts in the Main Event’s Swiss stage, which begins on 23 October 2026, with the Knockouts to follow for the teams that advance. Follow every stage on the Worlds 2026 hub.
