Early life and amateur career

Early life

Jo Yong-in, professionally known as CoreJJ, was born on June 22, 1994, in Province, . He grew up on the remote island of Hwado, a where access to entertainment was limited, leading him to spend much of his time playing as a primary activity during his childhood. Information on his family upbringing and education remains limited, reflecting a typical South Korean rural youth immersed in the nation's widespread PC gaming culture, which often centered around local internet cafes known as PC bangs. CoreJJ's in-game alias derives from "코어장전" (Core Jangjeon), a romanized of a phrase from a character's in the MMORPG Avalon Online, which he adopted during his early gaming days. His initial forays into competitive gaming took place between the ages of approximately 15 and 18, primarily through casual matches in cyber cafes and online communities, fostering his passion for in South Korea's thriving digital landscape. He first encountered during Season 2 in 2012, around age 18, beginning with the assassin champion Katarina as his initial pick.

Amateur career

CoreJJ began his organized competitive play in the South Korean amateur scene in March 2013, joining the team Beggars as an AD carry. With Beggars, he participated in the qualifiers for the 2013 LoL Champions Spring, advancing through regional brackets against teams from across before losing 0–2 to T1 in the final round, failing to secure a spot in the main event. The team was later eliminated early from the NLB tournament after a single loss. He departed Beggars in June 2013 after this brief stint, during which he began building foundational experience in competitive team play and coordination. After a period away from teams, CoreJJ joined Bigfile in February 2014, again playing as AD carry under the in-game name "Core." The roster included notable players such as mid laner Choi "Huhi" Yeon-joon and jungler Jang "Beast" Min-ju, and the team focused on climbing the amateur ladder through regional competitions. Bigfile qualified for the 2014 Champions Summer via a 1–0 victory over Jin Air Green Wings in the qualifiers and also won the Challenger Arena tournament (3–1 over Mook Secret, earning ₩500,000). In the main Champions Summer event, they finished 9th–16th with a 0–3 record, while in NLB Summer 2014, they placed 13th–16th after a 0–2 loss to Anarchy. The team disbanded in September 2014 following the loss of sponsorship, marking the end of CoreJJ's time there without significant prize earnings beyond modest qualifier rewards. In September 2014, shortly after Bigfile's dissolution, CoreJJ signed with Quvic E-Sports as a bot laner, a newly reformed amateur squad. His tenure with Quvic lasted until December 2014 and emphasized preparation through challenger-level scrims and participation in local tournaments, though the team did not advance to major events or achieve notable results. Throughout his amateur career with these teams, CoreJJ honed his skills in bottom lane play, particularly emphasizing team coordination and strategic support for carries, laying the groundwork for his later transition to a dedicated support role—without securing major prize money or professional contracts during this phase.

Professional career

Dignitas (2014–2015)

CoreJJ transitioned from his early career in to professional play abroad by signing with Team Dignitas on December 4, 2014, as the team's alongside fellow import top laner Gamsu. This move marked his international debut, building on his experience with teams like Quvic and Bigfile Miracle, where he honed his skills in high-level solo queue. Upon joining, he adopted the in-game name "CoreJJ," reflecting his new role in the North American scene. In the 2015 NA LCS Spring Split, Dignitas, featuring CoreJJ in the bot lane with KiWiKiD, struggled to a 6-12 , finishing 9th and facing relegation pressure. The team advanced to the Summer Promotion Tournament, where they overcame Team Fusion 3-2 in a best-of-five series to retain their spot, with CoreJJ contributing in key games showcasing aggressive bot lane plays. During the Summer Split, Dignitas improved to a 10-8 for 6th place, securing a playoff berth, but were eliminated 3-0 by Team Impulse in the quarterfinals, failing to claim a championship. Representative matches, such as their early Spring Split victory over Team Coast, highlighted CoreJJ's adaptation efforts amid roster changes, including the addition of jungler Azingy. As a 20-year-old import, CoreJJ encountered significant challenges adjusting to the meta, which emphasized individual carry potential and split-pushing over the coordinated teamfighting prevalent in at the time. Language barriers further complicated team communication, as noted by teammate KiWiKiD, who described ongoing difficulties in coordination despite efforts to bridge the gap. These hurdles contributed to Dignitas' inconsistent performance, with CoreJJ often relying on translators in interviews and focusing on building synergy through shared aggressive tendencies in the bot lane. CoreJJ departed Dignitas on November 18, 2015, after one season, seeking opportunities back in to further his career.

Samsung Galaxy (2015–2017)

Jo Yong-in, known as CoreJJ, joined as an AD carry on December 1, 2015, marking his return to the Korean professional scene after a stint in with Dignitas. This move reunited him with fellow players like jungler Ambition and top laner CuVee, allowing him to leverage his international experience in a more competitive domestic environment. His prior NA tenure provided a foundational , but adapting to the LCK's intensity required quick adjustment to higher mechanical demands and team coordination. In the 2016 LCK Spring Split, CoreJJ split starting duties at AD carry with , contributing to Samsung's fourth-place finish in the regular season with a 10-8 record. The team advanced to the playoffs but fell 3-1 to ROX Tigers in the first round, securing sixth place overall. Despite the mid-tier results, CoreJJ's performance helped build momentum, highlighted by Samsung's victory at in March 2016, where they defeated SK Telecom T1 3-2 in the grand finals for their first major international title. Midway through the 2016 season, CoreJJ transitioned to the support role to accommodate rookie AD carry Park "Ruler" Jae-hyuk, a decision that revitalized the team's bot lane synergy. This shift proved pivotal in the Summer Split, where Samsung finished fourth in the (12-6) before reaching , losing 3-2 to for second place overall and qualifying for Worlds 2016. CoreJJ's play emphasized peel and vision control, enabling Ruler's aggressive style and fostering a brotherly dynamic off the rift, with Ruler crediting CoreJJ for personal beyond games. Entering 2017 under head coach Choi "Edgar" Woo-beom, Samsung continued their ascent in the LCK Spring Split, securing second place in the regular season (14-4) and advancing to the finals, where they fell 3-2 to SK Telecom T1. CoreJJ's consistent performances in the support role solidified the team's macro-focused identity, with Edgar emphasizing disciplined execution and bot lane stability as key to their growth. The Summer Split saw even greater success, as Samsung topped the regular season standings before dominating the playoffs with a 3-2 semifinal win over SK Telecom T1 and a 3-0 finals sweep against KT Rolster, clinching first place and direct qualification to the 2017 . At Worlds 2017 in , Samsung Galaxy emerged as champions on November 4, defeating T1 3-0 in the grand finals to claim the Summoner's Cup—their second Worlds title in franchise history. CoreJJ's play was instrumental, particularly with enchanters like and Janna; in the semifinals against Team WE, his Janna provided crucial shields and knockups to protect 's Varus during teamfights, while against Longzhu Gaming in the group stage, a timely Lulu polymorph disrupted an Ekko engage, securing a vital win. His synergy with Ruler shone in the finals, where precise vision and peel allowed the bot lane to outscale SKT's Bang and , contributing to Samsung's undefeated path through the knockout stage. Under Edgar's guidance, the team's cohesive dynamics—built on mutual trust and strategic adaptability—turned them from underdogs into dynasty-breakers.

Gen.G (2017–2018)

Following their appearance at the 2017 World Championship, CoreJJ and his Samsung Galaxy teammates—top laner CuVee, jungler Ambition, mid laner Crown, and AD carry Ruler—were acquired by the newly formed KSV eSports organization on November 30, 2017. The move preserved the core roster that had reached the Worlds final, aiming to build on that momentum under new ownership backed by Canadian investor John Kim. However, the transition marked the beginning of a challenging period, as the team struggled to maintain cohesion and adapt to evolving meta demands in the LCK. In the 2018 LCK Spring Split, KSV started with promise but faltered due to inconsistent mid-lane play from and difficulties in securing priority for aggressive strategies, leading to coordination breakdowns mid-split. The team finished 5th in the regular season with a 9-9 series record before being eliminated 1-2 by SK Telecom T1 in the playoff quarterfinals, securing 5th place overall. On May 3, 2018, KSV rebranded to Esports and bolstered its bench with support , top laner MONG, and mid laner , though the starting lineup remained unchanged. Gen.G showed improvement in the 2018 LCK Summer Split, achieving 4th place in the regular season with a 13-5 series record, but continued performance inconsistencies resurfaced in the playoffs. They suffered an early exit, losing 0-2 to Afreeca Freecs in the first round and finishing 5th overall. Despite these domestic setbacks, Gen.G qualified for the 2018 World Championship as the LCK's third seed via the regional qualifier, where they defeated 3-2 and Kingzone DragonX 3-0, and advanced to the semifinals at Worlds before elimination by . The period highlighted a decline from their 2017 peaks, attributed to internal adjustments and failure to gel as effectively as before. Unable to recapture their prior success, initiated a roster overhaul in 2018, announcing the departures of Ambition and on November 17. CoreJJ followed on November 19, leaving the organization to join in the North American and pursue opportunities abroad. The move ended his 13-month stint with the team, during which earned 30 Championship Points but no titles.

Team Liquid (2018–present)

CoreJJ signed with Team Liquid on November 20, 2018, as the starting support player, replacing Yull "Olleh" Sang-yeop and marking his return to the North American League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) after a brief stint in Korea. In his debut season, he contributed to Team Liquid's back-to-back LCS titles, winning the 2019 Spring Split by defeating Team SoloMid 3-0 in the finals and the Summer Split by overcoming Cloud9 3-1, finishing first in the regular season. These victories qualified Team Liquid for the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), where CoreJJ helped the team reach the semifinals after a historic 3-2 upset over defending World Champions Invictus Gaming, though they fell 3-0 to G2 Esports in the lower bracket final. CoreJJ's individual excellence peaked in the 2020 LCS Summer Split, where he earned the Honda award for his dominant performances, including high-impact plays on champions like Thresh and Pyke that anchored 's playoff run, making him only the second player in history to win multiple MVP titles. The team continued its domestic success with victories in the inaugural Lock In tournaments in 2021 and 2022, defeating 3-2 in the 2021 final and 3-0 in 2022, showcasing CoreJJ's veteran shotcalling in early-season formats. However, international challenges persisted, as exited the group stage at Worlds 2021 (finishing 3-3 and losing a tiebreaker to ), failed to qualify for Worlds 2022, and again bowed out in groups at Worlds 2023 after a 3-3 record. Team Liquid rebounded with the 2024 LCS Spring championship, defeating FlyQuest 3-1 in the grand finals to claim their third LCS title during CoreJJ's tenure and secure an MSI berth. In 2025, amid the league's rebranding to the League of the Americas (LTA) for cross-regional competition, CoreJJ played a pivotal role in Team Liquid's LTA Split 1 Playoffs victory on February 23, sweeping 100 Thieves 3-0 to qualify for the First Stand tournament. At First Stand 2025, Team Liquid finished 5th with a 1-3 group stage record. The team struggled in subsequent splits, placing 4th in Split 2 and being eliminated in the first round of Split 3 playoffs by 100 Thieves 0-3. As a seasoned leader, CoreJJ influenced team strategy through proactive vision control and engage timings while mentoring younger players like midlaner APA on macro decision-making and mental resilience during high-pressure splits.
