SoCool

SoCool, whose real name is Bo Hsin Chang, is a Taiwanese jungler whose competitive career unfolded within the Pacific Championship Series, the PCS. Most associated with the storied J Team organization, he now carries retired status, marking the close of an active playing chapter and the transition into whatever comes next for a veteran of the region.

The Taiwanese jungle tradition

Taiwan has produced a distinctive lineage of junglers, and SoCool competed within that tradition. The jungle role he played is among the most cognitively demanding in League of Legends: it requires a player to manage his own farming route through neutral monster camps while simultaneously tracking the enemy jungler, setting up vision, and choosing the precise moments to intervene in lanes. A jungler’s influence radiates outward across the whole map, making the position a natural fit for players who think several moves ahead.

Competing under the PCS banner

The PCS unites teams from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia into a single competitive umbrella, and J Team has been one of its recognizable names. For a jungler in this environment, the job centers on orchestrating the early game, securing epic monsters, and converting map pressure into tangible advantages that laners can snowball. SoCool operated within that framework, contributing to his team’s efforts to establish tempo and neutral objective control.

Now that his career is listed as retired, SoCool joins the ranks of players whose on-stage days have concluded. Retirement in esports arrives early by the standards of traditional sport, and many former pros channel their accumulated game knowledge into coaching, analysis, streaming, or mentorship of the next generation of talent.

His legacy is best understood as part of the broader Taiwanese contribution to competitive League of Legends, a scene that has long punched above its size on the international stage. Whatever path SoCool pursues away from the Rift, the experience he gathered as a jungler in the PCS gives him a deep well of insight into a role that remains one of the game’s most demanding and rewarding.
