TheHank

TheHank, whose real name is Xu Hai Han, is a young Chinese support player competing in the League of Legends Pro League for Weibo Gaming. At just 19 years old, he is one of the more junior members of the LPL scene, and he occupies a role that quietly shapes the outcome of every match he plays.

The Support’s Selfless Art

Support is the most self-sacrificing position in League of Legends. Rather than farming gold and accumulating personal power, the support dedicates the early game to protecting and enabling the bot lane marksman, then transitions into a role built around vision control, engage timing, and peeling for carries. It is a position that rarely receives the individual glory of a flashy solo lane, yet elite supports are often the invisible architects of a team’s success.

Among his champions, TheHank features Nautilus, a hooking tank engage support prized for locking down enemy targets and initiating fights on his team’s terms. That pick suits a proactive, engage-oriented style, one where the support looks to create openings rather than sit back passively. Mastering the timing of such aggressive initiation is one of the hardest skills for a young support to develop, and it speaks to the direction of TheHank’s game.

Wearing the Weibo Gaming Colors

Weibo Gaming is among the most prominent organizations in the LPL, a team backed by significant resources and consistently expected to contend. For a 19-year-old, earning a place on such a roster is both a testament to his potential and a demanding stage on which to grow, as every match is played under the scrutiny that comes with a top-tier franchise.

A Career Just Beginning

TheHank’s youth is his defining trait and his greatest source of promise. Supports often improve well into their careers as their shot-calling and map awareness deepen with experience, which means his ceiling is far from defined. If he can continue to sharpen his engage timing and build seamless chemistry with his bot lane partner, TheHank has the opportunity to develop into a cornerstone support for Weibo Gaming and a name to watch across the LPL for years to come.
