Ucal

Woohyun Son, better known as Ucal, is a mid laner from South Korea who plays for KIWOOM DRX in the LCK. Now 25, he has built up enough experience and polished mechanics that he stands out as one of the region’s more seasoned mid-laners.

Where the Game Is Decided

Mid lane sits at the heart of any League of Legends roster. Positioned in the middle of the map, players like Ucal are expected to win their own lane while also having the movement to affect both the top and bottom halves of the Rift. The job calls for solid laning basics, careful wave management, and a sense of when to roam, and it often means being the main source of damage during teamfights.

Ucal’s go-to champion is Taliyah, a control mage valued for her waveclear, roaming options, and terrain-reshaping kit that creates plays. She punishes players who read the map well and time their pushes to win fights across the board, which suits a mid laner who wants influence beyond his own lane. Picking her so often says a lot about how Ucal plays: forward-thinking and built around tempo.

A Steady Name in the LCK

Facing the best mid laners in the LCK means earning every series, and Ucal’s experience helps him hold his ground. Veteran mids are prized not only for raw mechanics but for their knack for winning matchups, reshaping their champion pool as the meta shifts, and keeping their team calm when games get tight.

With KIWOOM DRX, Ucal’s outlook rests on the consistency and creative plays a veteran mid can offer. If Taliyah remains a steady roaming threat and he continues setting up plays across the map, he can stay a central creative force for his team throughout the LCK season.
