besu

besu, whose real name is Takuya Takeshima, is an active professional League of Legends support player from Japan. He competes in the LJL — the League of Legends Japan League, the country’s premier competitive circuit — currently representing the team We Can Win.

The LJL Stage

The LJL stands as the top tier of professional League of Legends in Japan, serving as the gateway for the nation’s best teams to compete internationally at events like the Mid-Season Invitational and the World Championship. For a Japanese talent like besu, the league represents both the highest domestic ambition and a platform to help grow the region’s presence on the global stage, where the LJL has steadily worked to close the gap with more established competitive regions.

Mastering the Support Role

As a support, besu occupies a position that blends selflessness with strategic influence. Supports are the eyes of the team, responsible for vision control through wards, protecting their bot lane partner during the vulnerable early game, and orchestrating the engages or disengages that swing team fights. Though they rarely top damage charts, elite supports shape the flow of a match through positioning, timing, and constant communication.

The role also carries significant shot-calling responsibility, as supports often possess the widest view of the map’s state and can coordinate rotations, objective setups, and vision plays. It is a position that rewards game sense and unselfish play over raw individual statistics, making the best supports invaluable connective pieces on any roster.

Representing We Can Win

Competing under the We Can Win banner, besu contributes to a roster navigating the demands of top-flight Japanese competition. Life on a professional team means daily scrims, film review, and the constant refinement of communication that supports depend on more than any other role. Because the position sits at the crossroads of the bot lane and the wider map, besu’s ability to sync with his AD carry while also directing macro decisions can meaningfully tilt the outcome of contested games.

Outlook

As an active competitor in the LJL, besu has the opportunity to leave his mark on the Japanese scene and contribute to its ongoing international development. Support players who master the nuances of vision, engage timing, and team coordination become essential to their squads’ success. His continued growth alongside We Can Win will depend on building strong synergy with his teammates and adapting to the evolving demands of the professional meta.
