Kold has just announced that he will be retiring from competitive League of Legends and hoping to return to the scene as a coach. Here is his statement:
Who is Kold?
25-year old Jonas “Kold” Andersen has been playing League of Legends as early as 2013. He started his professional career with Tricked Esports and then moved on to play for H2K, Splyce, Unicorns of Love, and most recently, Origen. He has an approximate total of $45,569 in esports earnings. Here are some of Kold’s best achievements:
- 13-16th in 2016 World Championship – 29th October 2016 – $63,375
- 2nd in LEC Spring 2019 – 14th April 2019 – $56,605
- 2nd in EU LCS Summer 2016 – 28th August 2016 – $25,205
Kold retiring – What led to his retirement?
Origen have had some very disappointing results lately. They had an excellent finish to their LEC Spring Split this year, as they finished in 4th, just under MAD Lions. Despite this, in the LEC Summer Split, Origen had horrible results, which led to them ending the season dead last with only 6 wins in the group stage.

Kold retiring will definitely sadden a lot of League of Legends fans, as he’s one of Europe’s Legendary players. However it will definitely be great to see a player with his experience coaching a roster filled with youngsters. We’ll just have to wait and see who Kold decides to coach for, whether it be a European or North American roster.
