[Velly Cardwell @VellyCardwell]

It's not easy when you enter one of the biggest scenes in Esports as a new commentator.

Thank you @phsidefender @PlayersLobby for sharing my story about how I found my new home with R6.

Hope you all enjoy a look into my journey in Esports 🔥

Mental health is a very serious topic. Obviously any player taking a forced break would prefer competing, but ignoring one's alarm signals is extremely dangerous.

Prioritizing your health and listening to yourself is NEVER the wrong call. N E V E R.

Enjoy the break, King 👑

Toughest decision of my life.

"I’m pretty competitive with everything that I do, and it shows whenever I commit time to something"

As @SpecialLoL_ looks set to take over in the mid lane for @EXCEL, we revisit his article from last year.

Martial arts, driving 300KM to "local" LANs, and battling to prove himself as an #LEC calibre support.

"There’s nothing wrong with skipping steps, but my gradual improvement has ensured that I keep working hard"

Last month, @Jenax_LoL told us about his journey to the #LEC

Once upon a time, @Humanoiidd51 was the rookie surrounded by veterans and second-year players.

On @MADLions_LoLEN, he contributed to a mostly rookie squad's ascension to third place in the #LEC.

And there'd be no issue with tournaments, like the one @Carzzylol told me about.

[The Players' Lobby @PlayersLobby]

"Considering that we started the split looking pretty boosted, I'm happy with how we finished. Third place is a good start for us to build on."

"I look forward to facing our main challenge, @G2esports, because that would be the highest stakes possible in the finals."

@Bwipo had that and more to say in his article: We Are Thriving

➡️ https://t.co/DLCjLTnc3W

[The Players' Lobby @PlayersLobby]

"We knew that we had to accept our shortcomings in order to improve on them."

Ahead of #LEC Finals weekend, @Bwipo explains the issues that the team faced going into the season, changing junglers, and why @FNATIC is thriving in 2020.

"Now that I’m comfortable with who I am and I’m not afraid to speak out about it, I want to be the voice for those who may not have one. I want to use my platform to help others if I can."

@flameirl Thank you for sharing ❤️

I did the majority of this interview while I was still employed, so the takes in it aren't actually made after the fact. The replies on reddit/social have me holding back tears at 5pm on a Monday.

I think it came out pretty well so I wanted to share. https://t.co/bmMappZsZR
