It's ridiculous that NASA is launching a mission around the Moon this week that will send humans farther into space than ever before and it's getting almost no attention. A landmark moment in the history of our species. History books will care about this moment even if you don't.

Hello!
Hope all is well.
I wanted to share some thoughts about the past, the present and the future.
The topics of this post will be Los Ratones 2025, Twitch + YouTube, LEC 2026 Versus and Worlds co-streaming.
The past:
For those who remember, when I made the choice to participate in Los Ratones and discontinue my journey in Korea I was looking for a mix between playing and taking a break as I felt quite troubled after the 2021 - 2023 seasons. 2024 was an incredible year for me with T1, but I was looking for an opportunity to be closer to home. That part worked out as planned in 2025, I feel like I am in a really good place mentally now and ready for whatever is to come. No more baggage from the past weighing me down. When it comes to League of Legends I would say this season also lived up to expectations, we won almost all we could win whilst still enjoying the process for the majority of the year at the same time. I think towards the end some of the more positive spirit started to disappear, and this is something we need to discuss as a group how to make it better moving forward. The positivity from many of you was a big help, and I really appreciated the support and encouragement towards myself, the other players and coaches. Thank you to everyone that cheered for us and I hope that you can keep cheering for us in 2026 as we compete in LEC Versus.
The present:
With EMEA finished there is Worlds co-streaming and the Red Bull event left before we enter the 2026 preparation period. I will be covering the remaining games of Worlds (friendly reminder Quarterfinals start tomorrow), then taking 2 weeks vacation in Patagonia to rest and recover before departing to Munich. Once that is done I will take a break from Twitch + YouTube as I want to fully focus on what I can do to make our coming months a success and as much as I have enjoyed streaming and posting videos it does not make sense for me to do everything simultaneously due to my autism diagnosis. I get very easily overstimulated and uncomfortable in new environments so with us having to relocate in the beginning of next year I want to be careful with how I spend my energy and time. Being able to give 110% every day will be crucial for improving fast and contributing everything I can towards winning on-stage, which is my number one priority.
The future:
The next step is Los Ratones competing in the LEC 2026 Versus which is an exciting challenge and something I am really looking forward to being part of. For now, that is the plan. What comes afterwards will depend on how the team develops and what opportunities come up, but my commitment is to give everything I can to Los Ratones and succeeding together.
Best wishes and much love from Martin!
