Zeus League of Legends

Hanwha Life Esports Top
Choi Woo-je · Born January 31, 2004 · South Korea · Top for Hanwha Life Esports

Choi “Zeus” Woo-je is Hanwha Life Esports' top laner and a two-time world champion, plus the S13 finals MVP. He plays on the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro at 800 DPI with 55/50 client sliders and a Corsair K70 RGB TKL keyboard.

The rare star who left the most decorated organisation in League of Legends and got better: Zeus walked away from T1 in 2024 and turned Hanwha Life into an MSI winner, collecting a second Finals MVP on the way. His champion pool is a textbook modern weakside top — split-push duelists and teamfight tanks he can pilot without jungle attention.

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

As of September 2026, Zeus plays League of Legends at 800 DPI with the client's mouse-speed slider at 55 and the camera-move slider at 50, at 1920×1080, on a Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro. A mid-fast pointer with a slightly slower camera is a lane-trading profile: it keeps last-hit and trade clicks quick while stopping the map from spinning during side-lane splits.

LCK Top Laner of the Year
Across the 2023–2025 era

Zeus's career splits cleanly into two halves. With T1 (2021–2024) he went from a part-time substitute to a two-time world champion, including the 2022 undefeated Spring split and an S13 Finals MVP. With Hanwha Life (2025– ) he added the LCK Cup, First Stand and finally MSI — completing a trophy set nobody had assembled before him.

Zeus runs the fastest cursor slider among the HLE stars — 55 to Gumayusi's 30 — but keeps the camera at 50. For a top laner the cursor is a trading tool: faster pointer speed means quicker last-hit-and-harass windows in lane, while the steadier camera keeps his map awareness from spinning during side-lane splits.

Resolution1920×1080

League of Legends gives you a resolution, a window mode and graphics presets — nothing that changes how the cursor or camera feels; those live in the two sliders above. Only 1920×1080 appears in Zeus's published setup. For a top laner the practical display question is side-lane readability: a stable 1080p with a high refresh rate keeps the minimap and tower-dive timings legible, which matters more in the split-push than in a teamfight.

Zeus plays on the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro — an 87 g ergonomic shape, 12.3 cm long, with the Focus+ sensor. It is a deliberate outlier in a database full of lightweight symmetrics: the DeathAdder hump suits a palm grip and the heavier body stabilises long side-lane trades, which fits a top laner who spends the mid-game clicking through a split-push rather than flicking between objectives.

2024
Back-to-back worlds — then the shock exit
T1 beat BLG in the S14 final for a second straight world title and a Gnar skin. Days later, on 19 November 2024, T1 announced Zeus was leaving — the biggest roster shock of the window; he joined Hanwha Life on 20 November.
2025
A domestic title and First Stand with HLE
The move paid off at home: HLE won the LCK Cup with Zeus as Finals MVP in February, then added the First Stand crown in March. The Worlds run ended early, though — a 1–3 quarterfinal exit to Gen.G.
2026
MSI champion: the first complete international résumé
HLE beat BLG 3–2 in the MSI 2026 final on 12 July, with Zeus named Finals MVP. That gave him Worlds, MSI and First Stand — the first player in League history to win every Riot international title. The LCK 2026 season closed as runner-up.

The stat that matters most is the one he did not win: Zeus has reached the Worlds final three times and lost only once, in 2022, to DRX. Both of his championship skins — Jayce and Gnar — were earned on champions he played as the weakside top, which is exactly why the MSI 2026 title travelled with him rather than staying at T1.

How Zeus plays

Zeus plays the top lane as a carry who refuses to need help. He takes weakside matchups, absorbs jungle pressure without losing the lane, then spends the lead he banked on side-lane pressure and tower plates — the reason both of his Worlds skins came from champions nobody expects to hard-carry. Since joining HLE he has added a front-line, engage-first layer that fits Kanavi's jungle tempo.

Signature — Jayce
The S13 hero and his most-copied pattern: poke-and-trade in lane, then transform the poke lead into tower pressure. His Worlds semifinal Jayce was the series-defining pick.
Signature — Gnar
The S14 skin. Zeus's Gnar is the standard answer to a weakside draft: safe lane, huge teamfight engage, and a Mega Gnar flank that decides drag fights.
Signature — Ambessa & Jax
His side-lane duelists of the HLE era — champions that let him win the game away from the team, then arrive late at the fight as a second carry.
Weakside without a tax
The defining Zeus habit: he concedes jungle attention without losing lane, farming in matchups he should lose. It is the reason his teams can invest three players into another lane.
Trade the lead for map, not kills
Zeus converts lane advantage into towers and side-lane pressure rather than chasing solo kills — a lower-variance conversion that makes his teams harder to throw around.
“I don't need the jungle to win my lane. If the team wins somewhere else, that is my win too.”

How Zeus compares

The LCK top-lane conversation is Zeus, Doran and Kiin — three players who met in the biggest finals of the era. Zeus has the international résumé neither of the others owns; the table below is why the debate never fully closes.

PlayerTeamStyleDPISenseDPIMouse

KiinGen.GConsistent two-way top————

Zeus is the only one of these four with a Worlds title, and the only one with a complete Riot international set. Doran and Kiin remain the domestic measuring sticks in the LCK; slider values are unpublished for both, so the honest read is that top-lane success is a draft-and-path question, not a mouse question.

How to play like Zeus

Zeus's game is unusually copyable for a world champion, because almost all of it is decision-making rather than mechanics.

Learn to lose lane correctly
His core skill is minimising a losing matchup: concede the wave you cannot contest, keep the wave near your tower, and never let the enemy top convert a lead into a kill. Losing lane by 10 CS is a won lane in most games.
Convert the lead into towers
Zeus spends lane advantages on plates and side-lane pressure before he spends them on fights. Take the objective, then join the team — the reverse order is why most solo-queue leads disappear.
Pick one weakside carry and one engage tank
His pool is always balanced between a side-lane threat (Jayce, Jax, Ambessa) and a teamfight tank (Gnar, Ornn). Drafting only carries is how you lose the games where the enemy comp is stronger early.
Practise the flash-engage timer
Watch his Mega Gnar flanks: the engage is thrown on the enemy carry's spell cooldown, not on his own ult timer. Track one enemy cooldown every fight and your Gnar becomes three times as valuable.

Things worth knowing about Zeus

  • He joined T1's academy under the ID “Wooje” — his real name — and only became Zeus in June 2020.
  • Korean fans call him “God of Thunder” (雷神); Chinese fans shorten it to “小神王”, the little god-king.
  • In July 2026 he became the first player in League of Legends history to have won every Riot international title: Worlds, MSI and First Stand.
  • His 2023 Jayce received both a standard Worlds skin and a Prestige edition, because he was the S13 Finals MVP.
  • He is one of the very few star players to leave T1 and immediately win internationally with a new organisation.
  • He was named to Korea's Asian Games squad for 2026, three years after winning gold at Hangzhou.
  • Before turning pro he was a solo-queue “wander-king” — his account was known for one-tricking carry tops in high Challenger.

Frequently asked questions

Biography1
Who is Zeus?Biography

Zeus (Choi Woo-je) is a professional League of Legends Top from South Korea who plays for Hanwha Life Esports.

Settings4
What are Zeus's LoL settings in 2026?Settings

Zeus's verified snapshot (September 2026): 800 DPI, mouse speed 55/100, camera speed 50/100, 1920×1080 resolution.

What mouse and mousepad does Zeus use?Settings

Zeus plays on the Razer DeathAdder V2 Pro, paired with a Razer Gigantus V2 XXL mousepad.

Why does Zeus use a heavier ergonomic mouse?Settings

Because the light-mouse trend is a preference, not a rule. Zeus plays an 87 g ergonomic DeathAdder V2 Pro — heavier than most of the modern 50–60 g symmetrics in our database — and it suits the way a top laner actually uses a cursor: long, repeated trade clicks in a side lane where stability beats twitch speed. If you palm-grip and play melee duelists, weight is not your enemy.

Does League of Legends use DPI the same way as FPS games?Settings

No. LoL is not a flick-aim game: the client exposes cursor and camera sliders on a 0-100 scale, so DPI and slider together decide pointer feel, and cm/360-style metrics do not exist. Zeus plays on the Razer Deathadder V2 Pro.

Team1
What team and role does Zeus play?Team

Zeus plays Top for Hanwha Life Esports.

Data2
How current is Zeus's settings data?Data

This profile is maintained by the ProAiming player database and re-checked before each major event. Values that were never published are left blank rather than guessed.

How does ProAiming verify Zeus's settings?Data

Hardware, DPI and client-slider values are cross-checked from published setting sheets and event setups before they appear on this page. Anything that was never published stays blank — the slider fields left blank here — rather than estimated.

Gear1
What mouse shape should I copy from Zeus?Gear

Only if it fits your hand — LoL pros choose light ergonomics or small symmetrics for comfort across thousands of clicks per game. Zeus's setup is built for a relaxed palm or claw grip over long ability-key sessions; use the mouse library's size guide to compare shapes before buying.

Champions1
What is Zeus's champion pool?Champions

Zeus's pool is built around two roles. The weakside carries: Jayce for poke-and-trade, Gnar for the Mega Gnar teamfight flank, and Jax or Ambessa for side-lane duels. The front-line tanks: Ornn and similar engage tools for the games where HLE needs a body in front rather than a second damage source. He rarely blind-picks a carry he cannot pilot without jungle help.

Career1
Why did Zeus leave T1 for Hanwha Life?Career

T1 announced Zeus's departure on 19 November 2024 after two straight world titles, and he joined Hanwha Life Esports the next day. The move paid off immediately: HLE won the LCK Cup with Zeus as Finals MVP and then First Stand, and in July 2026 he added MSI — becoming the first player to hold Worlds, MSI and First Stand.
