Why is the resignation so special? After LoL players reach the professional level, it’s not uncommon to spend a lot of time in practice matches against other teams, called scrims. In addition to training, some players also put their time in live streams. The best example is the streamer team “NNO”, which fought for promotion to the first German league.
Ablazeolive posted on Twitter that he would like to retire from professional LoL gaming:
Ablazeolive is retiring from competitive LoL.
In the statement, he writes that he “can no longer put off important things in my life” and that there are also aspects of his life that are very important to him.
Away from Summoner’s Rift, Ablazeolive arguably has some things to strive for and is retiring from competitive esports as a result.
What’s next? Despite retiring from his professional career, the player has no plans to finish LoL. In his statement, he considers that he could be active as a coach for teams or start as a big streamer himself. He also mentions that he would like to continue working with League of Legends content in co-stream or live viewing.
The first offers are already available.
Many players and opponents from his professional days have spoken to his team. Among them were offers of co-casting, so that he can take a first step in that direction, should he wish to do so. His rivals also shared congratulations for his future and thanks under his post.
Finally, Ablazeolive would like to thank his teammates and the team, who have accompanied him over the years and made it possible for him to realize his dream of becoming a professional.
