advance

Going by the handle advance, Jung Young Lee is a South Korean top laner who has moved his career to Japan, competing in the League of Legends Japan League (LJL). He is a regular member of New Meta, holding down the top side of the map for the squad. Like many Korean imports in the LJL, his profile is that of a disciplined, structured player helping to raise the level of a growing regional scene.

Holding Down the Top Lane

Top lane is frequently called the island of Summoner’s Rift: a part of the map where one-on-one fights are common and help from teammates tends to be limited. Whoever plays there has to be self-sufficient, able to win lane on their own while still keeping an eye out for the right moment to teleport and turn a teamfight. For New Meta, advance is asked to combine that independent strength with split-push pressure and the durability needed to hold the front line, which is what modern top laners are expected to offer. The role depends on patience, careful wave control, and well-timed execution in team fights.

A Korean Player in the LJL

For years the LJL has given Korean players a place to compete regularly and show off their fundamentals. Advance is part of that pattern, arriving in a league where foreign talent often sets the bar for mechanical accuracy and macro discipline. His background reflects the large pool of Korean solo-queue and academy players, and his transfer to New Meta offers him a chance to grow while bringing experience to the team.

Within New Meta, advance works in an environment that values cooperation and gradual progress. Top laners here often reshape their champion pools around the team’s plan, sometimes carrying the damage and other times playing a self-sacrificing tank to set up teammates. Being able to switch roles this way is central to the position and is a major factor in how much a top laner contributes to a squad.

Outlook

Since his career in the LJL is still underway, advance can work toward becoming a dependable anchor for New Meta. Strong results from here could boost both his own reputation and his team’s goals in the Japanese circuit. For anyone following the LJL, he is a clear example of the talent exchange that keeps the region competitive and worth watching.
