Yesterday, legendary professional player Crown announced on his personal Instagram account that he will be retiring from League of Legends.
Translation
For all of you that don’t understand Korean we have translated a few sentences of his announcement:
“First of all, I am very grateful to everyone who has supported and praised me so much for giving too much attention and love.
I Started (Playing League) at the end of season 2 until now, there were a lot of things, good things, hard things, sad things, and I feel like I’ll never be able to feel it again in my life.
From some point onwards, it is no longer full of negative thoughts rather than great fun and interest. It’s now because I’ve been struggling, now is the time to really let go of it.”
Crown retiring from League Of Legends – Who is he?
25-year old Lee “Crown” Min-ho is a retired League of Legends professional player who has been playing professionally since 2014. He first started with team 58ers and then moved on to the Korean team of titans known as Samsung Galaxy. With SSG, he won the 2017 World Championship, the IEM Season XI – Gyeonggi, and also placed 2nd in the 2016 World Championship. In recent times he has switched over to play for Gen.G, but unfortunately he could not replicate his success in his prime time years of 2016/17. This led to his demotivation in competing, and resulted in his retirement.
What’s next for Crown?
Despite him retiring at such a young age, Crown is still considered as one of the most legendary players, not only in Korea, but in the World. This may be a sad news to many, but this also opens up opportunities for Crown as a LoL coach in the near future.
