Shunsuke "Evi" Murase (born November 15, 1995) is a Japanese player who is currently playing as a Toplaner for Fukuoka SoftBank HAWKS.
History[edit]
Starting League of Legends in 2013, Evi was called up for Salvaje Javelin early in 2014 to start his professional career and afterward in 2015 for RabbitFive as a substitute until April of the same year.
In 2016 Evi joined 7th heaven and his career had a boom when he started playing in the main league of Japan, the Legends Japan Pro League. After great appearances, he was called up for Rampage team in 2017 and the Japanese community fell in love with his plays and personality during LJL games.
For the 2018 Season, DetonatioN FocusMe signed with Evi. In the Spring split, they were undefeated during the Regular Season but lost to Rampage 3-0 in the Finals, missing the spot for MSI 2018. But in the Summer split they beat Unsold Stuff Gaming 3-1 and took the spot for Worlds 2018 when DetonatioN FocusMe was eliminated by Edward Gaming in the second Play-In round, being the first Japanese team that achieved this phase of Worlds.
In 2019 point, DetonatioN FocusMe itself created a dynasty in the Japanese region but was not able to do much on the international stage, however, Evi made interesting things to shake up the small Japanese scene, like amateur camps, creating a YouTube channel with gameplay and tutorials, and also start streaming on Twitch.
In 2021, Evi and DetonatioN FocusMe had a great year as they won the LJL league in both the Spring and Summer Split, beating North American team Cloud9, and almost taking a win off Damwon KIA at the MSI that year. At the World Championship they also managed to beat Cloud9 twice during the Play-In Stage. And together with DetonatioN FocusMe achieved the feat to be the first Japanese team to ever make it to the Group Stages of Worlds. During this Worlds run Evi also gained a lot of popularity amongst fans for his “thumbs up” signature move that he showed on camera.[1]
For 2023 season, Evi was acquired by Team Heretics, from the LEC. Making him the first ever Japanese League of Legends player that was imported to another region. His K’Sante impressed viewers when he got a solo kill in his three first matches for the league, but unfortunately, Heretics didn’t have a good year overall finishing Winter Split in 8th, Spring Split in 9th, and Summer split in 4th, failing to attend 2023 World Championship.
