Young talent Caliste "Caliste" Henry-Henneberg has officially been awarded the title of Rookie of the Year in the LEC 2025, securing a decisive victory in the voting. Out of 38 participants, 28 placed Caliste in the top spot, cementing his status as the breakout player of the season. It's worth noting that the voting process was completely transparent, and the results were made public. The voting took place after the conclusion of the regular season Summer Split.

The competition was fierce: candidates included players from all roles, but Caliste's playstyle, focused on active engagement and initiative, proved unmatched. In second place, with five first-place votes, was Rudy "Skewmond" Semean, followed by Kaan "Naak Nako" Okan in third. Behind them were Paul "Stend" Lardin, and then Mateusz "Czajek" Czajka, who edged out Eren "Lot" Yıldız by just one point, leaving Lot in sixth position.

Outstanding Season and Playstyle

Caliste delivered an impressive debut in the LEC 2025, quickly establishing himself as one of the league's top AD carry players. Joining Karmine Corp immediately after turning 18, he demonstrated record-breaking efficiency: a 60.6% win rate including First Stand, an average KDA of 5.4, 9.8 CS per minute, and 739.5 damage per minute, reflecting a high-risk yet effective playstyle.

His contribution to Karmine Corp's success was particularly evident during the team's initial surge to the grand finale of Winter 2025. Caliste's rapid growth and consistent performance are already being compared to the debut seasons of stars like Rasmus "Caps" Winther, highlighting his unique potential and impact on the team.
