My history in LoL
Initially, I started playing LoL off the NA server as it was the only one that was made available to the public then. Much less, the game was only in beta. At that point of time, it was really just an alternative to DotA every now and then when I got bored of it. However, I realised that I started owning at it! Owning really hard! Yea yea, people keep giving me the bull shit that LoL is easier than DotA (Can't deny, blah blah blah, all that bullshit). What I believe is that the dynamics of the 2 games are very different despite having similar macro game objectives.
Then one fine day, LoL(SEA) was released and I immediately jumped on! Before I knew it, I was doing pretty well amongst the (small)community then. This was way back before ranked games were even released. This came from the fact that every-time I queued, I almost always end up playing against the same goddamn group of tryhards (Sg-LoL WCG representatives back then, which were mostly made out of pro DotA players).
It was then I got kinda hooked to the game. Winning felt so fucking good and I could never lose. No matter the type of shit team I got, I'd win the vast majority of my games. I can still remember the days where I micro-ed the fuck out of pubs with Kassadin haha.
A period of time passed and I was eventually asked to play in a Rookie Tournament where my team won first place.
Garena Carnival 1st Place :D
(Teemo's Rookie Cup)
After, I left the team and joined a 'school team'. We played together for a while in our free time before deciding to take part in the Singapore Championship eSports League(LCES) Season 1 Tournament. Ended up with 3rd place on that one.
SCEL 3rd Place
The prize was just a Razer Deathadder, no trophy. Traded it with for a razer bag with a guy from the 4th placing team. This tournament was the precursor to my journey into Singapore WCG.
Basically the top 3 teams from this SCEL tournament would be given an opportunity to participate in the Singapore WCG. The winner of this event would be Singapore representatives to play League on an international level.
Anyway, all of us went ahead to 'try out' in the WCG. To be frank, our hopes weren't set too high, but we managed to take our first game before 'leaving'. Haha. Oh well.
After all these live events, I became pretty inactive in the competitive scene and simply played ranked games most of the time in an attempt to up my 'elo' rating. But thinking back, there was really no point in doing so; it is really just to enlarge one's e-peen.
Playing too much computer games then also kinda screwed my exams then, oh well you gotta learn things the hard way. Not just that, relationships with friends in game turned sour as well. So it's really time to stop this bad addiction lol.
