Benny

Hsiu-Chi Lien, known as Benny, is a Taiwanese jungler who currently plays for MAD Team. Now 28, he sits among the more seasoned players still competing at the professional level, and his calm decision-making and sharp read of the map come from years of high-level games. The jungle is widely considered the toughest role on Summoner’s Rift, since it demands constant trade-offs between farming, taking objectives, and tracking what is happening in every lane at once.

Reading the Map from the Shadows

Junglers such as Benny act as the glue holding a team together. Instead of staying put in one lane, he moves between the top and bottom halves of the map, choosing where his time will do the most good by spotting where an advantage can be created. Strong jungling depends on pathing choices made during the first few minutes, on gank timing that catches an enemy laner overcommitting, and on fighting for neutral objectives like Dragons and Rift Herald. The role pays off patience just as much as aggression.

Experience as a Weapon

At 28, a veteran in a scene dominated by youth brings something teammates can’t simply copy. Benny’s career points to a player who has come through many metas, reworking his champion pool and style each time Riot Games reshapes the jungle patch after patch. That willingness to adjust often marks the difference between a long-lasting pro and someone who fades after one good season. On MAD Team, he likely contributes both mechanically and as a steady voice when pressure peaks.

As a Taiwanese player, Benny belongs to a regional tradition that has produced some of the most respected names in the game’s history. The Taiwanese and wider Pacific scene has long served as a training ground for junglers who grasp the finer details of tempo and vision control.

Looking Ahead

While Benny keeps competing with MAD Team, the question to follow is whether his veteran instincts can hold up consistently against younger, hungrier rivals. Junglers often set the ceiling for their rosters, and if he can control the early game with confident pathing and decisive objective calls, MAD Team’s results could climb alongside his own. His career stands as proof of longevity in a role that keeps demanding reinvention.
