Some of you have been wondering what’s next.
I have a crazy goal in mind: I want to change Western League entirely.
I’m going to be honest. We suck. We haven’t won Worlds since 2011. Our competitive spirit is dying, we’re collecting gambling sponsors just to keep the lights on, and the truth is: we are not getting results. None. Not a single one.
When you sell people a dream, at least make it believable. Right now, we have no chance of competing, let alone become anything.
I’ve been in China for four years straight. I’ve walked through BLG, EDG, and RNG headquarters. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. The infrastructure. The endless amount of players in Chinese SoloQ that nobody will ever hear about. The work ethic. The way those kids are actually managed.
Korea is the same.
And it all starts with solo queue here. How the hell are young players supposed to grow in an environment this bad? The average game is a joke, even in Challenger. If you think otherwise, you’re coping. I’ve seen it. It’s depressing to witness.
How do we beat teams that live and breathe the game when our orgs are too busy milking their players instead of developing them?
Nobody gives a damn about those daily Q&A shorts. Nobody cares about pros wasting their time guessing ranks on random clips. They’re paid to win. Not to be branded. Not to entertain you between losses.
I don’t care how I have to do it. I’ll become an LEC jungler, a coach, an analyst, the plumber, anything. I’ll force the change from the inside myself if that’s what it takes. But this has to stop. We can’t keep going like this.
I’m too passionate about League to let my region slowly fade away without doing anything.
The End of an Era.
Four years in China. That's it. That's the whole chapter
Challenger in Ionia, Twice. Super Server Challenger, Twice. Korea Challenger, Twice. I made Elise Support a thing. Started a YouTube channel. Learned what it actually means to be good at this game.
I peaked rank 32 in the Super Server with the highest Winrate in all Master+ at 74% WR. I challenge
@Phantasm_EUW to beat my record once he gets there.
I met academy players, pros, competed in events. Every bit of it mattered. Every bit of it made me a better player than I ever thought I could be.
Thank you to everyone who was part of it. You let me live my dream while I was out there and I can't put into words what that meant to me.
If I had to do it all over again, I would. No question asked.
See you back in France 🇫🇷
