Ham Jang-Sik, (함장식) better known as Lustboy, is a Korean retired professional League of Legends player and analyist, and current coach for Longzhu Incredible Miracle of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK). He played for MiG Blaze through their transition though CJ Entus Blaze and CJ Entus. He retired as a player from the North American Team SoloMid following an injury. He won the 2015 Summer North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS) with Team SoloMid as their support player.
Lustboy started gaming at the age of 7 with the first installment of the Starcraft (SC1) franchise from Blizzard Entertainment. However, this was well after the game became competitively popular in South Korea. As he phrased it:
"I really like to make innovation...I like trying new things no one's ever tried before. But [Blizzard] already made SC1 a long time ago so there [wasn't much for me to do]."
He later turned semi-pro playing Starcraft II, joining the Korean Team Prime as a substitute in 2010.
The next year he began playing League of Legends with a number of soon-to-be professionals. One of these, Dong-jin "Helios" Shin, would later sign as AD Carry with Maximum Impact Gaming (MiG) Blaze, and then bring on Lustboy as support when the position became vacant. As part of MiG Blaze, Lustboy took first place at the first OnGameNet tournament at Champions Spring 2012, winning the largest prize pool in League of Legends history up to that point.
That same year, they became the first Korean team to compete professionally in North America at Major League Gaming's first arena tournament, winning the competition with 10 wins and one loss.
MiG was acquired in 2013 by CJ Entus, and the now newly dubbed CJ Entus Blaze, went on to place first in the World Cyber Games 2013 Korean qualifiers. Lustboy left Blaze in 2014.
Lustboy joined Team SoloMid (TSM) of the North American League of Legends Championship Series (NA LCS) in July 2014, replacing former support, Gleeb. Lustboy described TSM as "like a dream team". Prior to the official announcement, TSM owner Andy Dinh was fined $2,000 for announcing the acquisition of Lustboy before receiving League approval for the transfer.
