Han "Peanut" Wang-ho (Hangul: 한왕호) is a League of Legends esports player, currently jungler for LGD Gaming.
Biography[edit]
2015 Season[edit]
Han "Peanut" Wang-ho joined the Najin organization in late 2014 but was only announced as an official sub for NaJin e-mFire later in December. He finally turned 17 in February and played in his first competitive match at SBENU Champions Spring 2015 against SK Telecom T1 later that month. He shared the starting jungle position with Watch for the rest of the tournament, where NaJin finished 6th overall. NaJin placed fifth in the regular season of SBENU Champions Summer 2015 and qualified for the playoffs but they lost in the first round 2-1 to the KOO Tigers. However, Peanut did not play in any of these games. They earned enough circuit points to make it to the 2015 Season Korea Regional Finals but lost 3-0 in the first round to the Jin Air Green Wings.
2016 Preseason[edit]
NaJin played in the 2015 LoL KeSPA Cup where they lost 2-1 to Rebels Anarchy in the first round. Peanut left NaJin in December and joined ROX Tigers in January.
2016 Season[edit]
During the 2016 LCK Spring Split, the ROX Tigers dominated domestically in similar fashion to 2015. They finished the regular season with a 16-2 match record, losing only to KT Rolster and Samsung Galaxy. Earning first place in the regular season gave them a bye to the finals of the Spring Playoffs, where they faced SK Telecom T1. ROX entered as the favorites this time, but still lost 3-1, earning themselves second place for the spring split.
During the 2016 LCK Summer Split, the Tigers once again placed first in the regular season with an impressive 15-3 scoreline in Bo3s, with two losses to SK Telecom T1 and one loss to Samsung Galaxy. This seeded them in the 2016 LCK Summer Playoffs directly into their third domestic finals, where they eventually met KT Rolster. In an epic series, the ROX Tigers won the set 3-2, claiming 1st place in the Summer Split and giving them Korea's first seed into the 2016 Season World Championship.
At the 2016 Season World Championship, the ROX Tigers were placed into Group A, along with G2 Esports, Counter Logic Gaming, and Albus NoX Luna.
