Team Liquid has announced that Jeong “Impact” Eon-young will leave the team. The veteran top laner has, during his two stints on Team Liquid, won multiple LCS and LTA titles.

After winning the LCS Summer 2024 MVP and finishing second to FlyQuest, Impact and Team Liquid struggled to maintain form. In the LTA North Split 3, they placed 5th–6th and fell well short of Worlds qualification.

Impact’s history

Impact rose to prominence as a world champion with SKT in 2013, before moving to North America where he represented Team Impulse, NRG, Cloud9, Evil Geniuses, FlyQuest, and Team Liquid.

Throughout his time in NA, he became known for anchoring drafts with reliable engage and carry picks, collecting multiple domestic trophies along the way. For many, he remains the greatest toplaner in North American history.

Impact shared a personal update about his year and what comes next for him on X.
