After working almost always, either paid or voluntarily, Riftbound re-gifted me being a player again. Thank you for this #Riftbound1Year (Also if you're close to Berlin, you should look out for an amazing event around the end of Q1 😄) Picture by @KonkolMichal at Gdánsk Showdown

And with that, my 13th EMEA Masters is in the books! Congratulations to @Galions_ for proving to be the strongest team in Tier 2 EMEA League of Legends 2026! A big thanks @Meyer_Dunker and @LeonTerkowski for being our amazing Refs on stage without whom I could not have done this!

Back from Gdánsk. I didn't expect much, but day one went insane. I started 6-0 and only lost round 7 due to severe misplays because my focus was gone. No matter the final result (#34) I loved playing against some of EUs best players and showing to myself that I can win sometimes

All my hits from a Booster Box + Vex Champion Deck (1 Vex each, Shadow, Order Rune). The entire box contained 3 Alt Arts (Vilemaw, Lillia, Mind Rune) and 5 Epics.

This is the set 1 decklist I won 2 Skirmishes in Germany with. I think it's pretty much the best Midrange set 1 there is. Tested a lot of different variations, this performed the best by far.

Just bought my ticket for the Bologna Regional Qualifier (for an insane amount of €610 !) but am I seeing it correctly that there are no side-events included in the premium competitor badge???

The LEC Crew is back from Madrid! After these Finals I'm happy and sad. We had an amazing show with few issues, but most of all it was the last show with @RiotWalu who's leaving to lead the NA Comp Ops Team😢 Thank you for this amazing time Malu ❤️ I'm only here because of you.

We made a little movie about the chess tournament I am organizing! It seems like we will need a new location, therefore, we will need sponsors to be able to pay for it without raising the starting fees too much. youtube.com/watch?v=jSwtbXnh…

Family 5 on 2-4 seems to lead to interesting results.

According to PBE it doesn't seem like it.
