“What we cared about perhaps wasn’t if he would win his 4th title or not. That or if the demon king is going go returns again. All that we cared about was whether someone could truly stand against time, every day, every night, just to catch up and grasp his own shadow at the end of the road.”
I mean that applies to every single esports and traditional sports out there. Veterans being constantly replaced by talented youngsters. So I don’t think that’s something unique to League, yet the majority of players retire/fall off their peak at around the age of 26-27.
