Lustboy

Ham Jang-sik , better known as Lustboy, is a South Korean League of Legends coach and retired professional player. After retiring from professional competition, Lustboy became a coach for Longzhu Gaming of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), before leaving to coach for LCS team Team SoloMid. He joined 100 Thieves as the Support Coach in December 2020, but retired from the League of Legends scene at the end of 2021. He currently streams Lost Ark (video game) full time on Twitch (service).

Lustboy first played for Korean team MiG Blaze through their transition though CJ Entus Blaze and CJ Entus from 2011 to 2014, then played for Team SoloMid from 2014 to 2015. He retired from professional play following an injury. During his tenure on Team SoloMid as a support player, Lustboy won the 2014 Summer and 2015 Spring NA LCS.

Playing career Lustboy started gaming at the age of 7 with the first installment of the StarCraft (SC1) franchise from Blizzard Entertainment. However, this was well after the game became competitively popular in South Korea. As he phrased it:

"I really like to make innovation...I like trying new things no one's ever tried before. But [Blizzard] already made SC1 a long time ago so there [wasn't much for me to do]."

He later turned semi-pro playing StarCraft II, joining the Korean Team Prime as a substitute in 2010.

MiG Blaze The next year he began playing League of Legends with a number of soon-to-be professionals. One of these, Dong-jin "Helios" Shin, would later sign as an AD carry with Maximum Impact Gaming (MiG) Blaze, and then bring on Lustboy as support when the position became vacant.

That same year, they became the first Korean team to compete professionally in North America at Major League Gaming's first arena tournament, winning the competition with 10 wins and one loss.

MiG was acquired in 2013 by CJ Entus, and the now newly dubbed CJ Entus Blaze, went on to place first in the World Cyber Games 2013 Korean qualifiers. Lustboy left Blaze in 2014. Lustboy described TSM as "like a dream team".

Along with Lustboy, TSM finished as the top North American team of 2014, with Lustboy ending with a 2.73 KDA.

Described as "arguably the best support in the NA LCS," at the time he ranked fifth among North American supports in KDA at 3.65, and fourth in gold-per-minute at 227. He continued as a streamer for TSM, and as an analyst for the team where he was centrally involved in the process of creating a new roster following the simultaneous departure of teammates Lucas ‘Santorin’ Larsen and Marcus 'Dyrus' Hill. He left the team on July 11 and was replaced as support by YellowStar. In TSM's official announcement, Lustboy is quoted as saying:

"Due to shoulder injuries and being tired of playing, I decided to step down as a player but I’ll still be involved with TSM helping in anyway possible. I will never forget how much fans and everyone treated me kindly, and I appreciate the opportunity given to me by TSM to prove my skills even though I was a foreigner." (In the same announcement, coach Yoonsup "Locodoco" Choi is quoting saying the following: “Lustboy joined TSM at a critical time, when we were left without a support due to unforeseen circumstances.) He was rushed to join the team and was a crucial part of our 1st place finish in summer split 2014. He’s been a pleasure to work with in and out of game and I hope he can continue his success for the rest of his future endeavors”

Team SoloMid In December 2017, Team SoloMid announced that Lustboy would be returning as a "strategy coach" for 2018, working with fellow coaches Parth Nadu and SSONG (Sang-soo Kim).

100 Thieves Ham was signed as a support role coach for 100 Thieves ahead of the 2021 LCS season.
