G2 Esports Bot Steven “Hans Sama” Liv is G2 Esports' bot laner and an eleven-time LEC champion. He plays on the Logitech G Pro X Superlight at 1400 DPI with a 55/60 slider split — the unusually high camera slider reflecting a map-awareness-first approach.
As of September 2026, Hans Sama plays League of Legends at 1400 DPI with the client's mouse-speed slider at 55 and the camera-move slider at 60, at 1920×1080, on a Logitech G Pro X Superlight (black) with a G640 mousepad and an Alienware AW2518H monitor. The 60 camera slider is unusually high for a bot laner — a setting that prioritises map awareness over a locked lane camera.
Hans Sama's career is a long arc with one famous dip. He reached Worlds in his debut year with Misfits and pushed SK Telecom T1 to five games in the 2017 quarterfinals, then waited four years for a trophy — moving to North America in 2022 and having the worst year of his career before returning to Europe and winning everything. He has since accumulated 11 LEC titles, third-most in league history, and remains active at 26.
Values come from an archived snapshot in the ProAiming player database; League of Legends uses 0–100 cursor and camera sliders, not FPS-style sensitivity.
The 2024 LEC Season Finals MVP is the emotional centre of the résumé: two years earlier he was the player whose move to Team Liquid had failed, and by 2024 he was the best player in the league — while still declining to call himself the best in the West.
Hans Sama is a lane-first bot laner whose value comes from controlled aggression rather than highlight plays. His laning numbers have been consistently strong across multiple teams — a +4.2 CS differential at 15 minutes in 2025, with an advantage in 55.6% of his matchups — and his champion pool leans toward early-game pressure picks (Kalista, Draven, Varus) over pure late-game hyper-carries. The characteristic weakness has been international play: his direct opponents have taken series MVPs against G2 in several knockout rounds.
Hans Sama's 2026 comparison is Caliste — the player France picked ahead of him — and behind that, the generational question about Western bot lanes.
Hans Sama has 11 LEC titles to Caliste's 2, and beat him 3-0 in the 2026 Summer final — but France selected Caliste for the national roster. The argument for the veteran is direct head-to-head results; the argument for Caliste is that he won the 2026 Summer MVP award while playing on the losing side.
Hans Sama's advice is about rebuilding rather than talent — the mechanics of coming back from a season that went badly.
He had spent two years at Rogue without winning anything, so for 2022 he and jungler Inspired left for what looked like an LCS superteam at Team Liquid. It went badly — TL missed the Spring final and did not even reach the top three in Summer, meaning Hans Sama missed Worlds for the first time in three years. His own form that year was the weakest of his career, and his old team Rogue went on to win the LEC Summer title with his replacement.
By coming home. He returned to Europe in 2023 to join G2 Esports — partly to play alongside his friend Mikyx — and won the LEC Winter, Summer and Season Finals titles in his first year. He then took 2024 Winter, 2024 Spring, the 2025 Season Finals and the 2026 LEC Summer title, reaching 11 domestic championships and tying for third-most in LEC history.
Worlds 2017, in his debut year. Misfits Gaming — a team that had only just been promoted into the EU LCS — drew SK Telecom T1 in the quarterfinals and took the three-time world champions to a deciding fifth game before losing 2-3. It remains one of the closest a Western team has come to eliminating peak SKT, and it made his name before he had won anything.
He has been asked directly and declined to claim it: after winning the 2024 LEC Season Finals MVP he said he would not call himself the best because he still had more to prove. The case for him rests on longevity — he is one of the longest-serving players in the LEC, and his 11 domestic titles rank third in league history — rather than on a single dominant international run. Notably, he was left out of France's Esports Nations Cup roster in 2026, with the coach choosing Caliste instead.
Direct rivals for the same title, one generation apart. Hans Sama is the veteran French AD carry whose 11 LEC titles set the benchmark; Caliste is the 20-year-old who took the 2026 LEC Summer Split MVP while Hans Sama's G2 beat his Karmine Corp 3-0 in the same split's final. The comparison intensified when France picked Caliste over Hans Sama for the 2026 Esports Nations Cup.
He plays on a Logitech G Pro X Superlight (black) with a Corsair K95 RGB Platinum keyboard, an Alienware AW2518H monitor and a Logitech G640 mousepad. His published client values are 1400 DPI with mouse speed at 55 and camera speed at 60.
Every profile in the ProAiming player database is cross-checked against published setting sheets and event setups before it appears, and re-checked before each major event. Hardware, resolution and any client-slider values must come from a verifiable source; anything a player has never published is left blank rather than estimated. Where a value changes mid-season, the most recent verified figure is the one shown.
