Biography[]
2015 Season[]
Jeong "Max" Jong-bin joined CJ Entus as a substitute in December of 2014. He played his first game as support for them during SBENU Champions Summer 2015 against the KOO Tigers. He is currently a substitute for Madlife. CJ Entus placed third in the regular season but lost 3-0 to the KOO Tigers in the second round of playoffs. CJ had enough circuit points to qualify for the 2015 Season Korea Regional Finals but they lost 3-2 to the Jin Air Green Wings. Max did not play in playoffs or the regionals. Max left the team in November.
2016 Preseason[]
Max joined GashBears in December as their new support. They played against YoLMS in the LMS 2016 Season Spring Promotion Tournament but lost 3-2.
2016 Season[]
Max left the GashBears to join MVP on January 15, 2016. During the Challengers Korea 2016 Spring Season, MVP performed admirably during the regular season with an 85% winrate, giving them first place with 34 pts. This seeded them directly into the finals of the Challengers Korea 2016 Spring Playoffs, where they were upset 3-2 by ESC Ever. However, they still earned a spot in the 2016 LCK Summer Promotion, where they beat Kongdoo Monster 3-1 to earn a spot in the 2016 LCK Summer Season.
During the 2016 LCK Summer Split, MVP managed to go 7-11 in series, netting them sixth place overall. Unfortunately, this made them barely miss the 2016 LCK Summer Playoffs for the season. Their lack of circuit points from the spring season of the 2016 LCK Spring Split made them unable to qualify for the 2016 Season Korea Regional Finals as well.
