Schalke’s Unwillingness to Change
FORG1VEN revealed that he chose not to compete for Schalke due to the team’s refusal to make necessary changes to remain competitive and succeed. This decision caused a backlash within the League of Legends community, with many accusing him of having an ego that hampers his professional career.
LS and Backlash
LS, himself no stranger to receiving backlash, empathized with FORG1VEN. He reminded everyone that behind the Twitter account is a real person and that FORG1VEN has been a longstanding member of the European League community.
