From the way he seemed to not really care about publicity, he seemed more in it for fame and money. So, when he got full of both and was doing good, he probably just wanted to move on. This is just a theory but its the best I can figure from how he was described.

hey man i really love your content. The editing might not be as slick as your main "competitor" exil i would say, but youre just such a sympathetic guy i always cheer when a new video pops up. hope you can make a living doing this, i'd join the patreon if i had money to spare.

Hey Gbay, I'm not sure if you've seen the whole situation with Riot shutting down the fan made legacy LoL project Chronoshift, but that might be an interesting topic to cover for a short video.

@@_BenL_ that's why said it, imagine the legendary rivalry, the eternal fight between ninjas and Samurais, and between pyjamas and jeans.

@@Dominion_Hawks they were named that because when they would get into LCS, they would be picked up by NIP and play under their name in LCS.

@@frederikmannoob oh, way to break my hopes and dreams

@@Dominion_Hawks Just dreams. Hope is all gone🤣

Yeah that team has some wierd JGer

Hell yeah! Gotta find a way to break up the monotonous walls of text sometimes lol

Ok

Man, league back then was so fun to play and watch. Nowadays I feel like I can't enjoy as much as I used to. Being on the edge of my seat all game long. Nowadays teams are far more controlled and smart about what they do. It's still co to watch, but not as much as back then. Good old days man...

@@vklyns5128 I always just throw that up to nostalgia, for one I was never to the game, and I was really young, so it also becomes assosciated with a simpler time, where I didnt need to clean, or work, pay rent or really do much of anything. I know you didnt make the claim here but when people say it was more balanced or felt more fair those people must have never played into atmogs, or a 700 range kass ult with a silence on his Q, or DFG Ahri/LB haha, I would say definatly the game was worse back then, but it was new to me, and alot simpler kits so I guess that is why my memories are so fond.

@@vklyns5128 Might also help that it was the peak of Nukeduck's career his only worlds appearance so that might sway me abit aswell haha.

same. still rock s3 lemon dogs, or as my friends used to call them, demon logs icon.

he played in eu

I was expecting a Korean too

not even Jesus would win worlds for NA my dude

Weeeeell... he couldn't carry an EU amator team through relegation playoffs, I don't see him in any dimension carrying NA in worlds....

@@jentele1 clg.

ye but they sold their lcs spot to roccat as they qualified

beat me to it such a good choice of music

Anyone know the song in the intro?

@@john-marccartagenas6706 It's the main theme of "Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMthoa9m3pjVhZs.html

@@OmegaMacling thank you!

If he’s in the military, I can tell you he ain’t. Should have just went pro.

camaro

@@Whowhatsit Depends what country he is from tbh.

@@Whowhatsit not doing well my ass, he's gonna retire at 35 with a big ass monthly compensation, if that's not well then call me sick

@@Gigantoscula Your just wrong here. I am a veteran and I can tell you that for 1, nobody retires before 38 at the youngest but generally 40's. It isn't a big ass monthly compensation, it's 50% of your base pay monthly, and lastly people who retire from the military and generally fucked up after leaving.

Thank you!

yes what baffles me is why choose the army? the average lifespan of a pro game is super limited so why not just do that first and then go to the army. apart from being one of the greatest he could have made a fortune

???

That's mario kart wii ost. Not a phone lmao

It still isn't. Let's face reality. In the future maybe, and I hope so, but as of now, no. Not everyone is a Faker, a Bjerg, an Uzi, a Caps for you to not worry about your future anymore. Yeah he made a name for himself but who knows what the future would hold, esports is something so volatile as of now. Also, maybe it's what he really wanted. Not every one is in it for the money you know. And the term "He's living real life" is an appropriate comment, no one can stay pro forever after all. Let's be happy for the guy.

@@fightme4136 You don't have to be Faker, Bjerg, Uzi, Caps or xPeke to have a profesional career playing videogames (eSports). Sure it's not as fleshed out as many other sports leagues but it is followed by more people than many others. There are university sponsorships, training schools, clubs that groom their players... Anything that other "traditional sports" have. My point is that it's neither as impossible nor as far off as you make it sound.... Plenty of low level but profesional players... Just like football, "soccer", tennis or golf.

@@ViMBarN true. but my point is there are more billionaires in the world than esports players who found success and can live comfortably if they don't play anymore. Esports give you a lot of injuries btw so everyday is a ticking time bomb for you.

Yeah I could see that, after losing promotion and getting tossed around by teams to other continents he was probably thinking about his future in the long term

@@mafreeze3409 hhaha

You should save yourself the PTSD and just join the AF

many soldiers and people from the military believe they will do noble and necessary things for their country, but in reality they will most probably be only pawns (regardless of rank) to do the dirty work for the ruthless psychopaths that own the armies and become a threat to innocent civilians. This is true for the military from the US, Britain, France and some more countries. Let's not forget what they did on Syria as of recent. Not only that, but the military at least serves to each country's ruling class to stay in power willing to commit genocide if they "must". Add chemtrail spraying all around the globe (unacceptable) and many kinds of power abusal during all of history, supression of the insurgents, the list goes on... US Democracy is nothing like the Democracy Plato wrote about, so please do some research about the institution you are planning to stay for years, it's a big deal and you (like most of the veterans) could regret it a lot.

Hope you are better at IRL combat my dude.

@@alanarguello3704 your right about the nobility, but for the most part in the American military you’ll just be sitting around training

thanks man, glad you enjoyed it :)

Or he went to his mandatory conscription, had to take a year off league, and understood that he was probably not going to make it anymore as an esports proffessional and decided to move on.

Looks like you aint gettin answered soon so I will do you a favor. There are 2 big reasons why relegation was abolished atleast in NA: 1. Franchising. Well I guess you already knew what this is so I will leave it right here. If you dont then just google the word and the answer is pretty clear. 2. C9 Challenger. It is a known story in League that there was this one insane team made of washed up LCS pros who were constantly stomping other Challenger teams and just took the promotion spot.... Only to sell it to the highest bidder and goes back to the Challenger circuit next split to repeat the same thing. After 3~4 splits of this Riot realised that these clowns were fkin destroying their promotion system and the Challenger circuit is useless as there were no teams capable of stopping them. So they pulled the trigger and the Academy system was born to replace the Challenger circuit. And so we arrived at the LCS today. No need to thank for the explaination just press like :))

@@gaoaibai6243 thats the same Problem in non esport. NOone cares it. ANd you could ez create a league for academy teams and for challenger teams. Like in NA. Ye they habe franchising but they have a academy league and multiple other college leagues. In china there is a secon league. the second argument is bs. and it didnt happen often. c9/h2k, mfs, fnatic, ..... dont remember much more. When i thinking about promotion i think about g2, origin, copenhagen wolves, roccat, tdk, enemy esports, renegades......

Who knows, maybe he'll become a caster after he retires from military
