An unexpected event took place today in the League
competitive scene when top lane star for Counter Logic Gaming "Nien"
announced he will no longer be playing for long running team. In an interview with ongamers.com Nien said
"Um, the main reason why I'm stepping down is because I'm disappointed in
my own play and I don't feel I'm deserving of being on a top three team."
In the matches Nien did perform poorly at it was not surprising he was heckled
and disrespected by many unhappy fans. In the interview Nien says "Before
when I got trashed talked by random fans I would just brush it off because I
was super confident in myself and just my play. Whenever I heard I just laughed
it off but after awhile I was just in a slump and lost all my confidence I mean
it's really really really hard when thousands of people trash talk you all the
time". It's not uncommon to hear that league has one of the most toxic
player bases in gaming but when you can see it brings a pro player to quitting
his team it can be very bad. Many fans on the other side of the fence are mad
at the other side's point of view saying things along the lines of "If you
know so much then why aren't you pro?" It's easy for me to take a side on
this matter because I have firsthand experience with how bad the community has
gotten. I wish Nien good luck with his future exploits and here's to hoping CLG
makes it to worlds this year.
