Zhuo Ding · Born May 22, 2000 · China · Mid for Bilibili Gaming
Zhuo "knight" Ding is Bilibili Gaming's mid laner and the 2026 LPL Split 2 MVP — nicknamed the Golden Left Hand for playing with his mouse in his left hand. He plays on the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 at 1600 DPI with 50/50 client sliders.
The world's best left-handed mid laner, whose 2021 record of 35 solo kills in a single split still stands.

What are knight's League of Legends settings in 2026?
As of September 2026, knight plays League of Legends at 1600 DPI with the client's mouse-speed and camera-move sliders both at 50, at 1920×1080, on a Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 (black) with a Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 keyboard and a ZOWIE XL2566X+ monitor. The 1600/50/50 setup is standard for an LPL mid laner — but knight holds the mouse in his left hand and uses his right on the keyboard, the reverse of almost every other professional, so both the shape and the side-button layout matter more for him than for most players.

LPL Split 2 MVP 2026
Part of the first roster in LPL history to sweep the All-Pro First Team
knight has been rated among the best mid laners in the world since 2019, and the statistical case is unusually specific: he holds the LPL record for solo kills in a single regular split — 35 in 2021 Summer — has repeatedly held rank 1 on the Korean solo queue, and holds a 28-game winning streak on Ahri. He has won four domestic titles across three organisations plus MSI 2023, and in 2026 was part of the first roster in LPL history to have all five players named to the All-Pro First Team.

Career timeline

2017
Young Miracles, and two failed promotions
knight started as a highly rated solo-queue player and joined Young Miracles in February 2017, with Tian as a team-mate. YM finished runner-up in both LSPL splits but lost the promotion finals each time — 0-3 to LGD in Spring, with knight neutralised by GODV. He was already known as the best mid in the Chinese challenger scene without a top-tier seat.
2018-2021
Top Esports, and the 1v9 reputation
He joined Suning in December 2017, moved to Top Esports in November 2018, and spent four seasons there. The '1v9' label — a player who wins games almost single-handedly — was built during this period, when he was frequently the only player ahead in a losing team. He set the LPL solo-kill record in 2021 Summer and reached 1,500 kills in January 2022.
2022-2023
JD Gaming and the Golden Road attempt
He joined JDG for 2023 alongside Kanavi and Ruler and won both LPL splits and MSI 2023 — the roster that came within one series of a clean sweep before losing the Worlds semifinal. It remains the peak of his trophy record.
2024-2025
Bilibili Gaming, and the BLG project
He signed with BLG in December 2023 to form a solo-lane partnership with Bin that observers rated among the most individually talented in the world. BLG reached the Worlds 2024 final, losing to T1, and rebuilt for 2025 with the arrivals of Xun and Viper.
2026
MVP, a clean sweep, and the MSI final
BLG won LPL Split 1 and Split 2 — the second with knight named split MVP — and became the first roster in LPL history to have all five players on the All-Pro First Team. They won the First Stand title in March, then lost the MSI 2026 final 2-3 to Hanwha Life Esports. BLG qualified for Worlds 2026 as the LPL's second seed.

Ahri win streak28 gamesOne of the highest recorded streaks on a single champion
The nickname is the most interesting thing about him: he plays with his mouse in his left hand and his keyboard under his right, the reverse of nearly every other professional. Chinese casters started calling him the Golden Left Hand around 2018, and the name stuck because the setup works — he is not a left-hander adapting to a right-handed game, he plays the way his hands naturally want to.
◈
How knight plays
knight's identity is individual dominance in the laning phase, converted into games won almost single-handedly — the '1v9' label that has followed him since the Top Esports years. The mechanism is a mirrored setup (left hand on the mouse) combined with an aggressive, mechanics-heavy champion pool, and the record that best captures it is 35 solo kills in a single LPL regular split. The criticism attached to the same trait is consistency in knockout series — he has reached a Worlds final and an MSI final but has not won either.
Signature — Ekko & Zoe
The champions he was known for at the start — picks that only function if the player wins lane outright. His high win rates on them are what made Chinese casters take notice before he had a title.
Signature — Ahri
His 28-game winning streak on the champion is one of the highest recorded on any single pick. Ahri lets him play the aggressive, roaming style without the risk profile of an assassin.
Signature — Azir & Orianna
The control-mage half of the pool. He picks them when the draft needs a stable team-fight core rather than a lane carry — the version of knight that BLG's drafts rely on.
The Mejai's habit
He is known for constantly building Mejai's Soulstealer — a snowball item that has to be earned. The LPL English broadcast turned the habit into a running metric for other mid laners in the league.
The mirrored setup
He is left-handed and plays the game reversed — left on mouse, right on keyboard. It is not a gimmick: the cross-handed posture is what allows the precision on mechanically demanding assassins, and it makes him the only elite mid laner in the world at Worlds 2026 playing this way.
“He is one of the best mid laners in the world, known for constant 1v9 performances.”

How knight compares
The comparison for knight is the LPL-versus-LCK mid-lane debate — the domestic-dominance question that Chovy also faces.

knight and Chovy share the same criticism from opposite directions: dominant domestically, no Worlds title. knight has reached both a Worlds final and an MSI final — Chovy has reached four Worlds semifinals — and neither has closed. The 2026 tournament is the next chance for both.

How to play like knight
knight's advice is about mechanical ceiling and the willingness to carry — the parts of mid lane that a conservative approach cannot reach.
Pick the aggressive option into the safe one
His entire reputation comes from winning lanes he was not favoured in. Practising Ekko and Zoe into ranged matchups teaches the skills a safe mage pick never will.
Measure your laning by solo kills
The 35-solo-kill record is a deliberate output, not an accident. Tracking that number makes laning aggression measurable and stops it drifting into risk without reward.
Build the snowball item when it is earned
His Mejai's habit is a discipline as much as an aggression: buy it when the kill participation justifies it, not as a default.
Adapt the setup to your hands
He plays with the mouse in his left hand because that is how his hands want to work. If your hand assignment is wrong for you, no amount of practice will fix the ceiling.

Frequently asked questions

Career5
Why is knight called the "Golden Left Hand"?Career
Because he is left-handed and plays the game mirrored — left hand on the mouse, right hand on the keyboard — the reverse of almost every other professional. Chinese casters coined the nickname around 2018 as the setup started producing results, and 'golden' was the community's verdict on the precision that unusual hand assignment delivers. It is not a gimmick: the cross-handed posture is what lets him play mechanically demanding assassins at a level few mid laners reach.
Where does the name "knight" come from?Career
It is actually K-Night. He wanted the ID 'Night' but the name was already taken on the account he wanted, so he added a K in front — without realising that 'knight' is also an English word. The misspelling became permanent, and it is why his name is written in lowercase in official sources even though his actual handle is Knight9.
What makes knight one of the best mid laners in the world?Career
His laning numbers. He holds the record for the most solo kills in a single LPL regular split — 35 in 2021 Summer — has held rank 1 on the Korean solo queue several times, and has been rated among the world's best mids since 2019. He also holds an extremely high win rate on Ahri, including a 28-game winning streak on the champion, and is known for constantly building Mejai's Soulstealer — a habit the LPL English broadcast turned into a running metric for other mid laners.
What has knight won?Career
Four domestic titles across three organisations (Top Esports, JD Gaming, Bilibili Gaming) plus MSI 2023 with JDG. In 2026 he was named the LPL Split 2 MVP and was part of the first roster in LPL history to have all five players named to the All-Pro First Team — the entire Bilibili Gaming line-up. He also reached the MSI 2026 final, losing 2-3 to Hanwha Life Esports.
Why does knight get a bloodthirsty reputation?Career
Because of his '1v9' label — the shorthand for a player who wins games almost single-handedly. It began during his Top Esports years, when he was frequently the only player ahead in a losing game, and it has followed him through JDG and BLG. He is also famous for never settling for a safe mid-lane pick in a draft that needs damage; his champion pool runs from Azir and Orianna to assassins, which lets BLG draft flexibly around him.

What mouse does knight use?Settings
He plays on a Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 (black) with a Corsair Vanguard Pro 96 keyboard and a ZOWIE XL2566X+ monitor. His published client values are 1600 DPI with mouse speed and camera speed both at 50 — notably, he uses his left hand on the mouse, so both the shape and the side-button layout matter more for him than for most players.
