The last article featuring the origins of the main League of Legends team is about the ADC and Aphromoo’s partner in the bottom lane: Cody Sun. Attending the most recent world championship, the young player is looking to make another appearance under the 100 Thieves name.

Origins

Cody Sun hails from China, and moved to the North America early on in his childhood. He used to go by the names TM8 as well as Massacre. He started out in the North American Challenger Series, before making his professional debut last year.

2015-2016 Challenger Series

In 2015, Cody Sun qualified for the North American Challenger series which was just below LCS and was recently replaced by the academy system. Early on however he was removed from his team.

In early 2016, Cody Sun joined NACS team “Dream Team” for the spring split. After their summer split Cody left to join Immortals months later.

Immortals (2016-2017)

At the end of 2016, Cody Sun was picked up by Immortals. Their first split of the 2017 LCS was rather mediocre, finishing in 7th place. Things changed completely however within the summer split, finishing 2nd in the regular season and postseason, making it to his home country China for worlds as the second seed out of NA behind TSM. Although they had a great first week, Immortals couldn’t capitalize on their dominance in the second week, getting knocked out by Fnatic in the group stage.

After their first worlds appearance, Immortals was not accepted into the 2018 LCS, and therefore the roster was transferred to Team Liquid. After being held by Team Liquid, Cody got picked up by 100 Thieves.

100 Thieves (2017-Present)

Cody was signed by 100 Thieves in December of 2017, securing the last spot on the team as ADC, where he will work alongside Aphromoo within the bottom lane.

Insight

The addition of Cody Sun to the team provides a breath of fresh air with youth. Last year was his rookie year, and with 100 Thieves, he is being incorporated into a team full of seasoned veterans. Him being on the team will allow him to improve while he works alongside Aphromoo who has been playing League at the professional level for years. Cody going to worlds can help him incorporate what he learned on the international stage to his second year within the LCS.
