rhOm

Known competitively as rhOm, Alex Chipana is a Peruvian mid laner whose career unfolded largely within the Latin American scene. Though now retired from active play, he remains a recognizable name for followers of the region’s competitive circuit, where homegrown talent has steadily earned a place on the international stage. His story reflects the ambition of a generation of South American players who pushed to be taken seriously beyond their borders.

The Mid Lane Craft

As a mid laner, rhOm occupied one of the most demanding positions on the map. The role sits at the center of the action, both literally and figuratively, requiring a player to dictate tempo, roam to influence side lanes, and win priority in the pivotal early skirmishes that shape a match. It is a seat reserved for players comfortable carrying responsibility, and one where reading the opponent often matters as much as raw mechanical skill.

Signature Picks

rhOm built a reputation on artillery mages, favoring Ziggs and Xerath as his cornerstone champions. Both are long-range poke specialists that reward precision and patience, chipping away at enemies from a safe distance before converting that pressure into objectives and teamfight advantages. Choosing this style says a great deal about his approach: methodical, siege-oriented, and built around out-positioning rather than diving headfirst into chaos.

During his playing days he represented Elite Wolves, a fixture of the Latin American competitive landscape. Suiting up for an established regional organization placed him among peers who competed for domestic honors and the chance to break through to wider recognition, giving him a platform to showcase the poke-heavy playstyle that defined his time in the game.

Now that he has stepped away from competition, rhOm’s legacy rests on the identity he cultivated on stage. Retired players in the Latin American scene often transition into coaching, streaming, or community roles, and the experience he accumulated as a mid laner for a notable team ensures his contributions to the region’s history are not easily forgotten. His measured, artillery-driven style stands as a reminder that not every carry needs to be a flashy assassin to leave a mark.
