#LS #Bjergsen #Esports #LoL #Clips #Highlights
It's the end of an era. He was my favourite player from the time he joined TSM until the very end. GOAT.
I'd expect him to get back in the scene at least moderately after a few years. Unless he finds something he can dive into to the same level as with league. Either way wishing him the best he deserves a happy ending.
me too, absolute legend!
i feel like the reason this is truly upsetting is his acceptance to league being his identity. Its a blessing and a curse to be Bjergsen where hes one of the greatest esports players but we have no idea how his relation to his family is because of that. The amount of sacrifice hes made we will never know, all the dinners, holidays, family gatherings hes missed just to be on top of his game. I hope he finds peace with his family/friends and doesn't regret his tenor as one of the greatest league players.
he played video games, he didnt go to war. His "dinner and holidays" etc. is a fukin joke for you / him to actually believe the bs you are spewing.
Well put!
Once regarded as "Western Faker", Bjergsen has had a great career. I think many of the new LOL Esports fans don't know how great Bjergsen truly was. He paved the way for so many great western mid laners & is a pillar of Western League of Legends. From an EU LCS/LEC fan, o7 Bjergerking.
12:09 "I feel like we're all on the precipice of going different ways."
Really felt it when he said this. I can feel it within my own circle of league friends. People are growing up, growing out of league, and moving onto other things in life. It's sad at times but it's reality.
It happens in games and in life but everything is different for people. I'm moving on from league, played it as a kid and the game is going its own way and I'm gonna be focusing on other things in life while my other circle of friends is still grinding everyday and my one friend just hit diamond and they plan on playing for years more.
For Bjersen it was basically his life, he had a decent career and made millions and now his life is set (and possible kids aswell) forever. He can just relax and do his own thing while not stressing or worrying about work/jobs or anything really. Respect to him
It's true. You move on and make new friends, also making time for the old friends that really matter. Keeping in touch and being a good friend becomes a lot more work as you get older and busier.
Your circle may grow smaller but those fewer friendships are usually much stronger. I've found that a lot of friends I had growing up were just friends of circumstance, like we grew up close to each other and mostly got along so we were friends. As I've aged I've become more selective, and I've personally realized that most of my friends as a teen were friends of circumstance. Kinda like work buddies
@@adanj.861 I don't think that's true, I think people just get it into their minds that it's just how life works and such, but in truth people don't really grow up. They just get saddled with responsibility and they let it go to their mind.
Bjergsen earned the title of western Faker in 2015-16, not because of championships or international success, every NALCS & EULCS fan just wanted to watch him play. His streams were few and far between but he would pull 50k viewers easily back in those days. Legend of the game.
he was more like western Goldv, never leaving groups
I remember downloading the LOL client back in NOV 2015 and there was a few names I heard of Immediately after watching some NALCS: Faker, Doublelift, and BJERGSEN! I literally created a Twitch account just to watch DL and BJERGSEN play league in 2016. This news is a true "CHRONOSHIFT" - a new life for my man! Best wishes Soren!
He got the title of western faker because he was so far ahead of everyone else in his region, he was 2nd to faker at parts of his career showing up internationally and solo killing players like Nagne, but never being able to do enough to get out with the pieces he had
A player and coach who garners respect from his actions and achievements. He stayed out of drama and often out of the limelight. He changed the game and he is a role model to so many young players who aspire to go pro.
He never changed the game
@@skarm7780 i agree and caps and perks and hily and jankos also faker didn't either 🤷♂
@@MrWowtrash okay you're taking it really far lumping jankos in there lol
@@skarm7780 The next generation of players will take the game to new heights. That's just basic trajectory of something until it peaks and the cycle continues.
Bjergsen is the reason I started watching pro play and was the reason I finally found my main lane in mid, and Zilean is still one of my favorite champs to play as well.
He was such an inspiration for many, and this truly feels like an end of an era, but I wish nothing but the best for him in the future
Same from me, I remember the first league event I ever watched was like "the battle of the Atlantic" or something and Hai was interviewed after talking about TSM's crazy new mid laner he played in solo queue named Bjergsen.
Found interview czcams.com/video/kyWxk03LpRQ/video.html
when i was 15 i wanted to be like bjergsen so bad. He was kind of my role model for many years and his Story was so inspiring. Wish him all the best man, he literally changed my life.
Riot needs to create a hall of fame
call it "legends" too. it would work so well
Hall of legends
They i think have one in their office
I live in Bjergsen's hometown and went to school with a couple of mutual friends of his. They all told stories about this shy kid who was unable to make friends who suddenly turned into this living legend who everyone admired. Personally, I didn't know him but hearing stories about his success and to be able to follow him throughout his journey has been incredible, especially because he was so close to home. Now, 11 years later he returns home a new man but a total stranger due to his dedication to this game. I hope he does well and I sure hope to see him back some day, no matter the context.
Welcome home Søren! ❤
The combination of him saying how his entire identity for so long has been a league player, combined with the personal emotion of opening up about depression, made this much more in depth then many retirements. Usually it's just "hey I'm done playing, but I'll go into streaming or coaching or whatever", I think those two factors made this more emotional for LS. Could be wrong though.
Hello, i am a casual CZcams/Twitch viewer who enjoy your content LS. I do not know if you will ever see this nevertheless i am writing this to express my gratitude towards you, LS. Though i have only been following you for a few years and i do not know a whole lot about your story but i really appreciate you for making my League experience much more interesting. Therefore, I wish you good luck with whatever lies ahead. // Best Regards, your viewer from Việt Nam.
I have a lot of respect of both LS and Bergsen. It was really emotional for me to hear about Bergsen stepping away from the scene and its really comforting to see LS feel the same way.
Bjergsen is just an example of a reserved and solid human being who seems humble and easy to get along with as well as one of the greatest players in his region ever. It does feel like the end of an era and like LS was alluding to, a bit of a reality check that some of us have been around LoL for a really long time, and nothing lasts forever so enjoy what you're doing whilst you can and learn to move forward.
he will be missed.
For what?
@@xctkillaprodigyx2586 Zilean
@@xctkillaprodigyx2586 tf you mean what, he is the GOAT of NA mids. are you kidding me?
@@bingusworshipperThe disrespect is crazy man
@@xctkillaprodigyx2586 you are so cool right
4:39 - 7:45 has no audio, guessing copyright from music or something
it's a montage with only music, we have to mute it or else...
Bjergsen talks about his struggles in the past with mental health & how it saved him from a really dark place. I'm sure it was muted just out of respect overall to bjergerking. Rightfully so ofc!
@@jiplee people can just watch the video to hear him talk about it
@@TwitchTVIMLSHighlights prob just cut it out next time lol
LS hit the nail on the head when he said that we all grew up together with league of legends. That's also why it's so painful to see Bjerg go; at the time he was just 17 y/o kid with a bit of an ego...but he also grew up and inevitably changed. He's just about the same age as I am, I remember watching every Bjerg VOD I could find back in the day to study his play when he came to NA and would stream. It's very painful to have the realization that league may not be the common ground it once was after an entire decade, even amongst our own friend groups and the community as a whole. I'll always love league of legends and I plan to play it at least occasionally until the day the servers go down, but this is such a big blow to the game.
This feels like when I watched Three Kingdoms (2010) and spent 90 episodes watching all these notable characters grow and pursue their ambitions, watching their entire lives unfold, and many of whom didn't reach the goal they fought so hard for. I got so emotional watching how everyone's story unfolds, and with Bjergsen after so long, is no different.
Bjergsen took a lot of flak simply because throughout most of his career, he was essentially the poster boy of TSM, and A LOT of people had an undying hatered for that organization, and thus, wanted to see them lose and get humiliated at all costs. Mostly because of Regi, but also other notorious players and staff members along the years (not gonna name any names)... Compounded by the fact that TSM did have a lot of success as a NA franchise, making matters even worse.
So, a lot of times, when TSM lost that translated into Bjergsen hate, people saying he's not that good and stuff. But the reality is, that Bjergsen was most often the main reason that TSM was even able to be competitive and would probably be in the gutter WAY sooner if he decided he wasn't going to put up with the crap tossed at him on a daily basis and just join another team or move back to EU and continue his career there or something.
They died as an org as soon as he left. He carried them so hard for so long it's insane. now they're out of esports. I wish bjerg came to na with like c9 it would have been so much better. Just think how well tsm did despite their behind the scenes best efforts to be a failing org.
sucks that the audio always has to cut off during the best parts of the video :(
youtube sucks
@@TwitchTVIMLSHighlights oh no, its you being greedy and wanting ad revenue from this video lol, its not youtube, you can upload this video with the audio anytime you want buddy, youre just trying to farm the fact hes leaving
@@Glade4 but if you want the audio you can just go watch the original video LS doesn't even really say anything while the video is playing at all. Also he's not wrong in saying that youtube sucks, this shouldn't have been an issue in the first place.
@@Glade4ur also greedy when u go to work and want to be compensated for your efforts i guess
@@Glade4 i guess its greedy to not want to be dmcaed
I cried the first time I saw it. And I cried again this time. I didn't even cry when my ex broke up with me. This shit hits in the feels. I fkin never cry.
It’s okay bro. I teared up too. He was NA no matter how you spin it. People came and went but he stayed, so for him to actually leave feels surreal. Everyone is getting older, doing different things. It’s just a reminder how things aren’t what they once used to be and it sucks. Rest up king bjerg you deserve it.
He wasnt NA
@@Ps-we3pp bro spent his entire career in NA. He is NA whether you like it or not. Don’t really care what you say lol
@@bruddah_ i mean idc what you say either, i consider him EU and NA since he is from EU and played in EU before NA
Bjergsen embodied everything that it means to be a pro player, there isn't a single player in NA who can fill his shoes. It's hard not to get emotional even if I haven't followed lcs in years now
let me think, EMENES, jojopyun, Gori, all could
@@CaptainMorghan4152 no they could not, you are delusional
@@pinnacull no they are not, they are much better than him now, that is why he retired.
@@edwardwongliupepelutivrusk1262 bjerg prime was the best,noone can ever replace that
@@charlieScene393 but he sucks now, and not just now, it's been a while, a good long several years he has been sucked.
this one got me too man, i actually felt tears welling, truly the goat of LCS and the embodiment of dedication. Wish him nothing but the best in his 2ndprime !
LS is a really empathetic dude, respect
yeah i am 23 years old and i know this game for like 11 years. i watched xpeke ocelote and bjerg a lot. I dont play that game really often but sometime i install it again. its crazy that more than 10 years really past away and we all are getting older.
LCS viewership just dropped by 50%+
Good luck in the future life G.O.A.T - Bjergsen!
Agree with LS, this farewell video hit really hard. Bjergsen is truly one of the all time goats of league of legends.
I feel like, it weirdly hurts because he list his competitive edge. He said, he is not devoting himself to the game anymore and retires. It just feels so weird… I grew up watching him. He was a big idol for me. Ho showed me, it doesnt matter how bad life gets, get through and it will be sunny. He, at least for me, is the western goat. League wouldnt be league, without his name in the book
We got DL back at the cost of LS coaching c9. Danny the most exciting ADC since DL. Aphromoo the greatest NA sup legacy ever. Bjergsen the Greatest NA legacy ever. Dash and Phreak goats of broadcast. CLG and TSM. Holy hell we are fucked. LCS is on life support.
phreak leaving the broadcast has been really nice personally
100T might be heading in that direction too.
@@chipperjoneszz don’t really care about 100t. They mean nothing to league like TSM, CLG
Bro acting like LS coaching C9 increase viewership.
It’s Letigress’ time to shine 😂😂😂
i really admire you LS, your passion for your work e how much of yourself you are willing to share with us make you a great personality to follow. You are a great example of growth for me. Thanks
Anyone who has devoted so much time into any field in life where you have to abandon friends and family for longer periods of time to work on ur individual goal knows how hard it is to stay strong grinding for over 11 years. Especially from such a young age.
Most people grind for 40-50 years without the option of stepping away though. Sure, he probably put in more than 40 hours a week, but again, so do a lot of regular people. Most people would love to be able to grind for a decade and then retire rich before their 28th birthday. Not hating on him, i'm just explaining that compared to the rest of society, this isn't some otherworldly grind story.
@@Djfjfjrhhrjrhrhfj those people get paid junk because their jobs are useless and not demanding.
@@Djfjfjrhhrjrhrhfj well ur argument goes a bit against urself. The harder and smarter u work the richer u get, he is very very rich in terms of esports standard for a reason. Not everyone can be rich though. A lot of regular joe job People complain about their work yet never try to do anything to change it.
@@BuddzBunnyHD How does my argument go against itself? Your last reply had nothing to do with my point...like at all. The topic of discussion was strictly about the amount of time Bjerg grinds relative to normal people. It was not about being rich, not about working smart vs working hard, not about me or regular joes complaining. Learn to have better reading comprehension please.
@@Djfjfjrhhrjrhrhfj No reason to get upset m8, im not attacking you. Just sharing my thoughts. You said "Most People would love to grind and retire early" Yes everyone wants that but no1 is willing to put in the grind and work for it, hence why bjerg is impressive. People that constantly complain about their money or job situation are just toxic people Who dont see the bigger picture. Also bjerg and other top pros puts in at least 65-70 hours a week minimum with max 1 offday per week if any.
Massive salute to the only midlaner I respect in NA.
Was already a huge fan back when he's still in NIP.
Damn, LS. You made some really good points on this one, I really liked it. I have grown with this game as well and am kinda parting ways with it for the past few years.
I have only respect and love for bjergsen because he was one of the first pros I paid attention to. He always maintained a humble and respectful personality, while still trying to develop his own leadership and come out of his shell especially coming from a background of being depressed and bullied. I'm sure he will be successful in whatever he pursues because of his amazing work ethic
I simply wish the best for him
I think it feels sad because you take a step back and realize that you’ve been watching this mans career unfold from start to now. It makes you feel old. But sadly that’s just life is and you gotta pass the torch to the next generation.
I had a weird vibe that this was coming... and well... here it is! I literally googled "LS opinion of Bjergsen" yesterday. All good things come to an end.
As a fan of games and sports who doesn’t put up with drama and toxicity. I stuck around the TSM fandom against my better judgement for years because of this man. Wish Bjerg the best and I’m sure he will succeed in whatever he does. He is truly a great human being
Sometimes you think things will stay the same forever till one day you realize that everything is different and time will will continue to March on...
I remember downloading the LOL client back in NOV 2015 and there was a few names I heard of Immediately after watching some NALCS: Faker, Doublelift, and BJERGSEN! I literally created a Twitch account just to watch DL and BJERGSEN play league in 2016. This news is a true "CHRONOSHIFT" - a new life for my man! Best wishes Soren!
Unlike his previous player retirement, the feels for this retirement does hit differently. This does feels like he can no longer hit his prime performance after 2 splits of playing and retirement was just right for him now.
Does anyone had a part without audio too ? from 4.40 till 7:20 smth ?
bjergsen was one of the best player in the league history and best positive player of all time this was sad farewell for him but as we grew older we can never do something that we do in our past teenage life
Bjergsen and my brother are the main two reasons I even gave league a try , years later I watch it like a religion , the reason I used syndra and wanted to pick up mid lane , the same reason my username on league is IamBjerg, a legend too many, and a goat forsure thank you bjergsen for everything you’ve done in this game!
I never understood the hate he got. He was the main reason I started in season 3 watching him was fun and he as far as I know is a genuine person that just loved the game. Will miss him
Started watching bjerg play in season 3 on TSM. Became a fan because of his amazing gameplay, stayed a fan because of the incredible role model he became.
He joined TSM S4, not S3.
Bjerg and double will always be my fav players. Wish he streams and costreams soon
Bjergsen quitting hits us hard because he's a pillar of hope to so many. But I'm glad he is moving on with his life.
Man i so wish if bjergsen had played for EU he would hv been one of the greatest not just GOAT OF NA.
ANYWAYS FAREWELL GOAT.
LEGENDS NEVER DIE THEY BECOME PART OF YOU. 🙏
Audio stops at 4:39
I was never a Bjergsen fan. But the League scene will just not be the same without him. Same goes for Faker when he goes.
t's crazy because if TSM won that match versus Samsung in 2016, then they would have had a real shot of going to finals. Bjergsen was a top 3 mid that year at worlds and if they went to finals, his recent legacy would have been different. One of the biggest what ifs for NA. :/
Beautiful career. Got into the scene just as it was exploding. Made millions and won championships through the decade of LCS peak era. Now gets to retire when LCS seems to be on a downward trajectory unlikely to return to its glory days. Guy made out like an absolute bandit.
I main LB Fizz Zed thx to this guy
I WAS TEARY EYED TOO HONESTLY 😭🥺
Hey, you. Yes, you. If you played League of Legends. If you followed the esports scene. If you hated Faker. If you loved Faker. If you think Sjokz's hot. No matter how you're involved in the community, you're part of this community. Yes, it doesn't even matter how toxic you get in games.
I may not know your name and you may not know mine, but we grew up together, just like LS said.
Let's cherish the remaining years of League while we can. Love the community you are in.
I cried too bro....
Been watching him ever since he started league it's been a journey.
Bjergsen is the LoL player, and Esport player, that everyone to aspire to be. Look to yourself first, what can you improve on yourself before you look to blame others. Work hard, want to be better? work even harder. Do the boring stuff, because in time it will reap results. I'm going to miss him, even when he was on a team i had zero respect for, still respected this man with no hindrance.
in my opinion this feels extra bad bc i'm not sure we'll ever really see bjergsen again😢. he doesn't really stream or use socials and he wants to be fully away from the esports scene so no coaching, analyst desk, etc. this is basically the last we'll hear from him and it fucking hurts boys
As a big bjersen fan I really hope you and him do a co-stream together or something like that
My NA GOAT. Good luck Bjergsen!
I think this is what most outsiders to LS' streams miss, his human side. He sometimes comes off as edgy. but he is actually SO empathetic and really cares about people and their well-being. I remember when the whole Sky Williams debacle happened he explained how Sky helped him, and how he helped Sky, and what his situation was. He didn't try to throw him under the bus when he perfectly could have. Idk, his human side is something I've always appreciated about him...
i dont mind him retiring and i wish him the best but, what bugs me is that midseason his team has to look for a new midlaner, and there arent many midlaners available at this point so i think if he planned on retiring anyways he couldve told the team earlier so i mean if he wanted to participate one last time with Dl or something if they knew they couldve hired someone additional for summer now they have to take some rookie or some other player in and ive looked things up there arent any midlaners that id say could replace him that would be available maybe they could get damonte off of Immortals but thats it
all the audio is missing
Copyright
Its just interesting to watch esports players have to find a new identity and a new career.
He's a millionaire now, he's not getting anywhere in pro play both as coach and as player, the game is getting progressively worse and he's getting older ... yeah i can understand his decision, he wants to leave while he still feels good about league and the time he spent on it.
May the all father watch over him and his future endeavors
Nick you should realy try to get him on an interview/Co Stream/somethink ...
Bjerg is pillar of league and a very positiv one too ... we should try our hardest to keep him around in some form
And Riot most likly fucks it up or doesn't feel Bjergsen is as important as we think he is.
With your reaction i think your feeling it the same way , you know doublelift get in contakt with Bjerg and pls try 🙏
Why does the audio get cut out halfway? Rip
I can't even imagine the effect of Faker retirement
I mean... its very different. He is the goat. He earned it years ago. It is just bonus time at this point
Its perhaps not a fitting remark, but dang I LOVE that hoody on him. He has a really good taste.
much love LS
I think it stings a bit more because he still had potential to be top 3 mid NA, at least in our minds. But it's also a pretty sad time in league losing CLG, maybe losing TSM, and now losing Bjerg who has been the poster boy of LCS for a decade.
Bjerg was at best middle of the pack and his gameplay was on a downward trajectory while the league simultaneously leveled up around him. He even said it himself that he realized he wasn't good enough anymore for his own standards. Cant hold onto the past, have to adapt to change. We aren't in 2015 anymore where Bjerg is a S tier player in LCS.
@IlCodylI he was probably B tier when he quit though. And a lot of it wasn't impossible for him to fix Especially in this meta I think his champ pool was fine. Idk it's just weird that we can apply the same logic to Faker except Faker has been keeping up in growth
@@aircatcher6891 Bjerg isn’t as good as faker though it’s not comparable. Bjergs mechanics have tapered off while faker is still in world class form. Bjerg is only even as good as he is today from his game knowledge and experience. He gets exposed mechanically.
It's a shame that his last few years were basically him being invisible. Tarnished his career quite a bit. Outside of that, a true pioneer of the NA scene.
Bjergsen is basically the GOAT of NA... Doublelift is definitely the better player, but it was Bjergsen that carried the league. It feels like we're all on borrowed time.
DL is better than Bjerg right now; however, someone (I think IWD) pulled all the stats on the two of them and did a comparison (I think this was last year) and Bjerg was actually better by a small margin. Furthermore, Bjerg made waaay less mistakes on the international stage, and nobody has ever gapped a position in NA as hard as Bjerg gapped mid for years. Even Bjerg haters wouldn't deny that. He completely obliterated mid lane for the first few years he played in NA. Transformed NA. Nobody else did that.
We getting old man
It’s strange to see someone who probably had the most healthy relationship with the game step away, I’m sure this will make a lot of people will consider stepping away now as well
Damn son. In bjerg we will miss
No sound at middle of the video.😢
It really makes me feel like people are starting to move on from league
Say what you will I wish bjerg left TSM way earlier and went to EU I wish he got the success at worlds he always wanted
Wasted his talent in NA tbh. If he went to EU earlier on maybe he could have kept going with better form for longer
Imagine being 100Ts and destroying your entire roster to then have one of the people quit after one split 😅 love Bjergsen and good luck to him but this is rough for 100T, threw away a championship roster for mid table finish and retirement after a split 😅
0-6 worlds that is your legacy!
He never met Bjergsen during c9 days?
The C9 4-5 weeks? Bruh barely had time to unpack much less meet the goats
It's honestly sad
As a c9 fan I've seen him so much crushing c9 at finals yearly hahahaha
Who is the 100T mid laner then? Not that Bjerg was insane or anything, but this dampers their summer split if they're going to have to roll out the academy mid.
nemesis
lcs on life support most players are one liner npc levels of forgettable and very few are skilled enough to collect fanbases off skill alone, dark times ahead
Why does LS make out with his mic when he’s sitting there?
DAMN YOURE FUCKING FUNNY
Did he clap faker?
Bjergsen was my favourite western mid laner for a long time and i believe his talent was getting wasted in NA on TSM at his peak form. I'm only mad because he didn't try his chances in EU once. But well it is what it is. I will miss him.
Even Faker doesnt carry his team always. People forget that when Faker won worlds in 2014, they didnt even qualify for Worlds the next year. Faker is still the undisputed goat to everyone but yet Bjergsen is washed when he attented Worlds 5 times back to back and made it to every LCS final until 2018. What mid laner in the LCS hyper carries their team solo or is expected to? One thing Bjerg did was NEVER feed. No one ever got the upper hand on Bjerg in lane, maybe he didnt beat someone down, but no one got fed off Bjerg or made it so Bjerg couldnt farm. He was always a monster, passive or not. Bjerg has gotten all this hate and taken it head on because he is expected to be good always. Your Legend will always live on Bjergsen. Your charisma and character speaks words beyond comprehension. Have fun GOAT.
He and tbh a lot of the bets players from his time, were good because they were able to keep the chaos in matches to a minimum, they were able to perform to a standard every game and were RELIABLE. Which is a skill many current star players seem to lack
Still copy/pasting this garbage comment. Bjergsen is washed.
People will always find a reason to crucify anyone, from legends like the Bjerger King to a "nobody" like most of us. It's sad and unfortunate.
Very good guy, but least surprising retirement.
Damn man i watched him since he joined TSM , used to watch tsm legends every week through the highs and the lows, shi got me emotional
bjerg was the closest thing to professionalism for pro league. once faker retires, that’s it.
Danish NA goat 😂😂😂
Well see how long this retirenment is this time.
this his first time lol last time was just switching to coaching.
