Bjergsen has made it public that he will be retiring from professional League of Legends after 8 years competing. Here below is his announcement:
Bjergsen retiring from professional League of Legends – What led to this decision?
As mentioned above, Bjergsen has had quite a long esports career as a player. Very rarely do we see such consistent talent in one player, and despite the fact that he may have not achieved what players like Faker, or Smeb have, he was still one of the best players to ever touch the game. It seems like after all these years of competition, he feels like he would do a better job in the coaching role, rather than the one playing in the mid-lane.
What’s next for Bjergsen?
In the announcement, Bjergsen mentions that he will be involved within the scene, especially with TSM. This is because he will be heading into the coaching role for the team.
This is what Bjergsen had to say about his future:
“Now just really feels like a good time to really step into that role full-time and see what I can do when those projects are truly my responsibility.”
“I even feel kinda weird saying the word retirement, doesn’t really feel like it fits because I don’t really feel like I’m retiring. I’m still going to be a competitor in League of Legends, and with TSM. I’m just changing the role.”
