    Have to say I’m disappointed. I’m a big fan of the player, and was anxiously looking to see which team he’d be on this year. Somehow he was still underrated.

    Him being gone will absolutely reduce my interest in LCS. My team was going to be whichever team he landed on.

    That said, it’s his life. He’s not wrong that the LCS is farther than ever from international success. The cutting of support staff is going to cause real damage to NA’s viability, and 2024 might be the year we actually fall behind EU. Their semi-pro scene is such an asset while we’ve decimated our own semi-pro scene.

    I wish him all the best.

      Yeah the choices made in the LCS never fail to feel more shortsighted than I previously thought possible. The death of the amateur scene as it used to be is honestly kinda devastating :(

        Not to mention the whole “buy high, sell at the lowest” phenomenon happening lately.

    One of my favorite players, from Rush Hour to my favorite Roster with him in TSM days, I wish him the best of luck he deserves it.
