Having started his career in 2012 with Team Solo Mebdi, Jensen has come a long way to become a two-time LCS champion with Team Liquid and earn the MVP tag at one of them.

A list of Jensen's career highlights, according to League of Legends Gamepedia, includes:

• 2x LCS Champion (2019 Spring, 2019 Summer)
• LCS Finals MVP (2019 Summer)
• 4x LCS All-Pro 1st-Team (2016 Spring, 2017 Summer, 2018 Summer, 2019 Summer)
• 4x LCS All-Pro 2nd-Team (2017 Spring, 2018 Spring, 2019 Spring, 2020 Summer)
• LCS All-Pro 3rd-Team (2016 Summer)
• 1000 Career-Kill Club

With major, trusted sources reporting the contract between Jensen and Team Liquid to be signed very soon, the deal is yet to be confirmed by either party, as neither Jensen nor Team Liquid have authenticated the details or existence of such a contract at the time of writing.

Jensen deal is highest yet for a player, in average annual salary, in #LCS history. Previous notable deals of similar compensation included Impact with Liquid, from 2017 to 2020, for $3.4 million over three years, and Huni with Dignitas, worth $2.3 million over two years.

It does look obvious that Team Liquid would want to extend the contract of one of the best mid-laners in the League of Legends Championship Series, if not the world.

The Danish pro will be looking to leave a mark as he looks to grab his third LCS title in the upcoming Spring season. Jensen, along with Impact, Broxah, Tactical, and CoreJJ, with TF Blade as the substitute, will aim to guide Team Liquid into the Spring Split playoffs and add more silverware to his trophy cabinet.
