The Incredible Story of Bjergsen

Bjergsen's story is one of the most inspiring and emotional journeys the League of Legends Esports world has ever seen. From overcoming personal challenges and taking a leap of faith to lifting multiple LCS trophies, Bjergsen's career and persona are a hallmark of the North American LCS. Welcome to LoLAthlete, this is the Incredible Journey of Bjergsen!
Thank you for watching LoLAthlete :)

[@cluelesslink16]

Bjerg is my favorite player of all time.

[@tomfordbeauty8350]

Bjergsen was always humble in win or defeat.

[@coryisabsent]

I feel so lucky to have started watching the LCS in 2012. It was such a treat watching him play!! I would love to see you do a video on sneaky!! His story is really interesting and he is such a charming guy :))

[@LoLAthlete]

I actually already made a video retrospective about Sneaky and his impacts on the scene. Check it out and let me know what you think :)

[@DjVanillaGuerilla]

It's sad Riot doesn't have a way to honor the players that made their game and sport what it is. There have been so many great and memorable players in League's pro history. Bjergsen, Madlife, Misya, Insex, Uzi, Pray, Mata, Lustboy, TheShy, Soaz, Diamondprox, the goat Faker, the list goes on and on. Some of these players have a hug impact on the league scene and new players have no idea who they are or what they did. Unlike other sports, that have hall of fame's and stuff. They need to make skins of the players on their signiture champs or something. If there was a Madlife Thresh skin, I'd throw so much money at it. Or a Uzi Vayne skin would be insane. Insec as Lee Sin. Then people would see them and maybe wonder who they are and learn more about the history of the game. Been playing since the beta. So I've followed it since the beginning. There are a lot of players that don't get any love that deserve it.

hall of legends was just announced

[@Chonkiez]

This was the dude that tested if you were a TSM fan or a Bjerg fan when he switched over to TL. Safe to say most of us were bjerg fans

[@leeroyjenkins8808]

Think something might have gotten bugged in the upload. Audio has an echo

[@leozebiLeonArmy]

yeah sadly

[@cupidok2768]

omg where is he now!?!! hes so cute!!! i need more of him . i need to talk to him and meet him!

[@kayraq4100]

My man is back!!!!

[@genjigrant795]

Bjergsen is truly the my favorite league player of all time

[@alonelymoogle3524]

I believe we still haven't seen Bjerg full potential and peek performance, always being held back by 4 wards so sad to see what he can do with a team he can rely on.

[@laisensei6984]

Simple, go back to EU (or maybe join an LPL team if he’s willing to learn Chinese). Stay anywhere but NA.

[@Tauschung]

Being a TSM fan for so many years has made me a huge Bjerg fan. I'm so glad I got to meet him at Worlds last year and I hope he does come back and do stuff in the esports scene again.

[@slurp3194]

bjergsen is so competitive i wonder what he is up to these days wish he kept up with us once in awhile

[@Tauschung]

@@slurp3194 I do too, but it’s his right to do what he feels makes him happy and if that means stepping away from the scene, then I fully support his decision.

[@imheretosleep]

I don't think he will come back to Esports but I do want him to stream or post youtube contents again, I just miss the guy man. It really hits different when you started early with league with all this OG players and less toxic community.

[@slurp3194]

@@imheretosleep I dont know about the whole less toxic thing lmfao. Bjergsen has always been sort of an introvert the lime light didn't bother him but he channeled his energy in to being the best and creating a legacy so I don't see him making content unless he has to. Maybe he changes titles give valorant a shot or something crazy. Bro is an intellectual. Lol I guess we will find out once his wallet starts taking a hit. He has so much money saved up from not having enough time to spend it.

[@imheretosleep]

@@slurp3194 "I dont know about the whole less toxic thing" - just proves you didn't get to experience league in its former glory.

[@41NewVAWE]

im so glad for the Memories and everything that happened 2012-2018 watching League Evolve and all the History and Journeys . ❤ I was a little 7th grader back then chillin with my Best friend watching LCS and EU LCS maaan that was something 🤣🤣

[@ericklino8628]

I'll never forget when Doublelift called TSM boosted and Bjerg picked Akali and ran over Double and TL, by far my favorite player ever this guy was incredible, gave me so many great memories, after he retired it seems like LCS lost that shine, never watched it again.

[@hanfighter9237]

my favorite competitive player until this day 💙

[@supercereal1]

The first year I started watching LCS was bjerg’s first split. He’s been my favorite ever since and basically the only reason I ever cheered for TSM. I hate how the fans treated him at the end of his career and how short people’s memory is. The revisionist history stating bjerg wasnt world class early in his career is just brain dead

[@Phantasmen]

Did you mean to say "wasnt" for that last part?

[@supercereal1]

@@Phantasmen fixed thanks

[@IkariShinjivini]

man i had gimplse of dyrus during this vid. He was such a great guy as well, looked so happy in the past

[@imheretosleep]

There is nothing to hate with this guy, whatever plays he makes whether it fails or not, its just that the guy is so wholesome that you can't even get angry at him.

[@HopefulAgnostic]

Bjergsen is a strong Hall of Legends contender.

[@luigi8970]

Bjergsen was my favorite pro player EVER! Well maybe in NA and EU. Him and Wild Turtle. They changed the way I looked at League forever. Call me overacting but he and wild turtle were my inspiration. Back then when NA teams was good

[@dephy11]

Bjergsen got me into pro play. He'll always be my personal GOAT.

[@laisensei6984]

I honestly felt like he should have abandoned TSM ship and go back to EU in 2015 or 2016. If he’s on powerhouses like FNC, G2, or Origen (before losing Zven and Mithy), god knows how much more success he could have had internationally.

[@Emiami12]

Make a video about TheOddone one of the greatest jungelers there was (this is only my own opinion) I miss that guy!

[@LoLAthlete]

TheOddOne, Stvicious, Diamondprox they’re all great candidates

[@freudlacan6892]

My fav league player of all time. I dropped league after him.

[@deni4l164]

"NA's greatest boomer duo" that got me good

[@goy0551]

when regi faced show, i barfed hahaha

[@srissy9739]

do one on tarzaned. Much love

[@bornofosirislover]

Dyrus was never gapped in top lane. Every team knew that the TSM jungler would always hover mid, so d was not even allowed to play League of Legends as it was always a 2v1

[@LoLAthlete]

Maybe it was just because of early-seasons meta, but he never adapted to playing weak side optimally

[@bornofosirislover]

@@LoLAthlete I'm just going to assume you have never been tower dove by high elo players. If they want you dead you're dead doesn't matter what the meta is. An argument could be made that impact is the only one that that rule does not apply to. His entire play style revolves around not playing the game so that the carries can get all the resources and help. Dyrus showed that with one or two ganks and actually playing a carry top lane he was mechanically gifted enough to carry games solo. His Olaf top game comes to mind. Him and the entire team after his retirement where both vocal about the main reason to his retirement is he was tired of sitting under tower getting no creeps and still getting tower dove just to get the other lanes ahead as the strategy to win.

[@Punix1337]

weird resolution and audio sounds like you sit in a digital casino floor all by yourself

[@DiabloTommaso]

I think is loialty ro na and tsm is somethong rare.

[@khoanguyenanh6138]

Love the 11:05 moments

[@PeterParker-sm7ff]

I don’t think Dyrus was gapped. Honestly I think it was due to the TSM play style of focusing every resource they had into Bjerg. And while on paper was smart because he was the strongest I personally don’t think a league team can win with only one carry. Dyrus was never giving a time to shine or to pick what he was good at unfortunately.

[@Shadysu1]

Video and sound seems kinda off

[@Dasherist]

is my headset broken or is the sound utterly disgusting ?

[@jacksonhester6747]

Major audio problems til like 13

[@CajunMan180]

Calling zven, mithy, and hauntzer (Grig I'll allow) 4 wards is disrespectful

[@insertmemehere3095]

Does anyone else hear that his voice might be ai generated or is it just me

[@bravepotatoe7513]

Gotta respect the man's career but it's kinda weird how nobody mentions the way he decided to retire if any other players ditched their team that way they wouldn't get a free pass

[@bravepotatoe7513]

@@gerryteiglandeide9902 I completly agree with what you said be he gave no notice. His owner learned basically at the same time he dropped his video leaving the team in a really bad spot

[@BezirganbasiMoiz]

It would be hilarious if you made a video about hashinshin, the guy reeaallyy fell off from people's eyes.

[@HyeAkirei]

Wouldnt say Reginald was legendary

[@DoppelSKG]

Big players should know when to retire and not just getting washes out… this goes especialy for doublelift…

[@frankiesalinas5441]

He already retired lmao

[@_Ferin]

yo what is this aspect ratio? xD interesting choice for a video lmao

[@LoLAthlete]

Gives it a more cinematic feel😅

[@ateidmon9835]

I thought maybe bjergsen still had it in him but his last season was disappointing. Its really better to retire early

[@mikevos4460]

Some weird jabs towards his old teammates this video but ok

[@cobreeee]

i swear the audio sounds like AI. its either an error or an AI script but sounds really bad

[@FiveStaring]

held back by his team mates... funny

[@slurp3194]

he was thats the absolute truth bjergsens individual stats are insane in every single tournament. He never lost lane hard to any player after he became the lcs staple

[@johnpaschalidis9497]

One of the few Actual good NA players imo top 5 mid ever

Your AI voiceover quality went down a lot in this video. Also having the same awful background music looping the entire time is making the video pretty unwatchable and unlistenable.
