Heo Su · Born July 22, 2000 · South Korea · Mid for Dplus KIA

Heo “ShowMaker” Su is Dplus KIA's mid laner and the Worlds 2020 champion. He plays on the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike Lunar Eclipse at 2500 DPI with 60/60 client sliders — the highest DPI of any mid laner on the Worlds 2026 roster.

What are ShowMaker's League of Legends settings in 2026?

As of September 2026, ShowMaker plays League of Legends at 2500 DPI with the client's mouse-speed and camera-move sliders both at 60, at 1920×1080, on a Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike Lunar Eclipse. The high DPI paired with the fastest sliders in Dplus KIA is the signature of a mid laner who plays the map rather than the lane — roaming and camera flicks matter more to him than pixel-precise last-hitting.

ShowMaker's career has two halves. The first is one of the fastest rises in LCK history — a rookie who won Worlds in 2020 at 20 and then took back-to-back domestic titles with DAMWON KIA in 2021. The second is a long, public wait: DK missed Worlds entirely in 2025 for the first time since joining the league, and he spent four years without an international trophy before DK won the Esports World Cup in Paris in 2026.

2023
A three-year extension and the start of the wait
He re-signed with DK for three years in November 2023, committing to the organisation through its rebuild. The following seasons produced nothing international — DK's results slid while the roster changed around him.
2025
Missing Worlds for the first time
DK failed to qualify for Worlds 2025, the first time the organisation had missed the tournament since entering the LCK in 2019. T1 eliminated them in the playoffs and took the last Korean spot. It was the low point of the ShowMaker era.
2026
Paris, and a return to Worlds
DK won the 2026 Esports World Cup in Paris — beating Bilibili Gaming in the quarterfinals, defending champion Gen.G in the semifinals and Karmine Corp 3-0 in the final. ShowMaker lifted his first international trophy since 2020. DK then beat KT Rolster 3-1 to qualify for Worlds 2026 as Korea's fourth seed.

The 2020 final is the moment that defined him — not for the scoreline but for the speech he gave afterwards, which turned into the most-quoted player monologue in LCK history.

◈

How ShowMaker plays

ShowMaker's identity is tempo: he wins mid lane by moving, not by out-farming, and he has always been willing to abandon a lane state to create a fight somewhere else. The 2020 DWG side was built around that — fast rotations, priority on the first objective, mid lane as the launch point. His champion pool reflects it, spanning control mages, assassins and the pocket picks that made DWG's drafts unreadable.

Signature — Twisted Fate
The purest expression of his style: a champion whose entire value is moving faster than the enemy mid can follow. His Worlds 2020 run leaned on it heavily.
Signature — Syndra & Orianna
The control-mage half of the pool. Where other mid laners pick them to survive, he picks them to hold priority and dictate where the next fight happens.
The roam-first instinct
He has consistently taken the first rotation over the first CS lead. LCK analysts have noted the same trade-off for years: it produces tempo advantages and occasionally costs him lane gold.
Meta-breaking picks
DWG's 2020 and 2021 drafts were difficult to prepare for precisely because ShowMaker would play champions that no other mid laner was practising. That flexibility is why the team could draft around a plan rather than around a matchup.
The long rebuild
From 2022 to 2025 he stayed with DK through roster churn and declining results, rather than leaving for a ready-made contender — a choice that reframes the 'fall off' narrative as a decision about loyalty.
“I thought about whether this might be the only chance in my life.”

How ShowMaker compares

The LCK mid-lane lineage of the 2020s runs through ShowMaker, Chovy and Zeka — the tempo player, the laning perfectionist and the assassin. Add Faker as the standard all three are measured against.

ZekaHanwha LifeAssassin · fight-first65030—Razer Viper V3 Pro Green

ShowMaker has the highest DPI of the group and the lowest domestic trophy count of the past four years — the two facts reflect the same roaming, high-tempo approach that won him 2020 and made the later seasons volatile.

How to play like ShowMaker

ShowMaker's advice centres on tempo discipline — knowing when to give up a wave, and when giving it up is the play.

Leave lane on purpose
His core habit: the first rotation is worth more than the first CS lead. Practise checking the map before you commit to a wave, not after.
Build your pool around movement
Twisted Fate, Syndra, Orianna — champions whose value comes from being somewhere else at the right time. A mid laner who only wins lane cannot carry a tempo draft.
Speed your camera, not your aim
The 2500 DPI and 60/60 sliders are about camera control, not clicking. Raising DPI in LoL buys map awareness; it does not buy mechanics.
Play the long game with a roster
He stayed at DK through four lean years and was rewarded with the 2026 Esports World Cup. Consistency with a team compounds in ways that switching for a ready-made contender does not.

Things worth knowing about ShowMaker

  • His parents were so opposed to his career that they confiscated his mouse; he only won them over after earning prize money in an amateur tournament.
  • He joined DAMWON Gaming in November 2017 and has never played for another organisation — the longest single-team tenure of any active LCK mid laner.
  • The line he gave after the 2020 Worlds final — about whether it might be 'the only chance in my life' — is still quoted across the Korean esports scene as a motivational meme.
  • His Worlds 2020 skin was Twisted Fate, chosen for the champion that best represented DWG's roaming style.
  • DK missed Worlds 2025 for the first time since joining the LCK in 2019 — the 2026 qualification ended what was, for the organisation, a two-year absence.
  • He won the 2026 Esports World Cup in Paris, beating Karmine Corp 3-0 in the final — his first international trophy since 2020.
  • At the first LCK Awards ceremony in December 2021 he collected seven separate awards in one night, including LCK Player of the Year and Summer Finals MVP.
  • His 2500 DPI is the highest of any mid laner on the Worlds 2026 roster, with Caps of G2 the closest at 3200 — a rare case of a Korean mid running a higher pointer speed than his Western counterpart.

Frequently asked questions

8 answers
Career5
Why did ShowMaker fall off?Career

It is the most-asked question about him, and the honest answer is that the team around him changed more than he did. After winning Worlds 2020 and back-to-back LCK titles in 2021, DAMWON/DK lost the roster that made those runs work, and DK missed Worlds entirely in 2025 for the first time since joining the LCK. His own form is not the story: in 2026 he was part of the DK side that won the Esports World Cup in Paris — his first international trophy since 2020 — beating Bilibili Gaming, Gen.G and Karmine Corp 3-0 in the final.

Is ShowMaker washed?Career

No — and 2026 is the evidence. DK qualified for Worlds 2026 by beating KT Rolster 3-1, and earlier in the year won the Esports World Cup in Paris, where ShowMaker lifted his first international title since winning Worlds in 2020. The 'washed' label mostly tracks DK's two-year dip rather than his individual play.

Is ShowMaker going to KC?Career

There was transfer speculation linking him to Karmine Corp during the 2026 season, and the answer as of September 2026 is no: he is on DK's Worlds 2026 roster as the starting mid laner. DK's Worlds five is Siwoo, Lucid, ShowMaker, Smash and Career.

What team did ShowMaker win Worlds with?Career

DAMWON Gaming — the organisation now known as Dplus KIA. DWG beat Suning 3-1 in the 2020 final, and ShowMaker also took the LCK Summer 2020 regular-season MVP that same season. It remains the only Worlds title on his résumé.

Why is ShowMaker's nickname so famous?Career

Because of the line he gave after the 2020 final: asked about the pressure of the moment, he said he had told himself he had to 'consider whether this might be the only chance in my life' — delivered as a speech that became the most-quoted player monologue in LCK history. The Korean phrasing ('ShowMaker's resolve') is still used as a motivational meme across the region.

Settings2
What mouse does ShowMaker use?Settings

He plays on the Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike Lunar Eclipse with a Logitech G715 keyboard, at 1920×1080. His published client values are 2500 DPI with mouse speed and camera speed both at 60 — one of the higher DPI settings among Worlds 2026 mid laners.

Does ShowMaker use a high DPI?Settings

Yes, relatively. At 2500 DPI with a 60/100 cursor slider he sits well above the LCK mid-lane norm — Chovy has no published value at all, and Zeka plays at 650 DPI. Because LoL uses a 0-100 slider rather than an FPS sensitivity, the comparison only makes sense inside the game.

Data1
How does ProAiming verify player data?Data

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.
