Karsa Retires from Professional League of Legends
Karsa spent more than 12 years playing for different top-tier League of Legends teams. Throughout his career, he won 4 LMS trophies, as well as 3 LPL Championships. In 2018, he even lifted the Mid-Season Invitational trophy while playing for Royal Never Give Up. Needless to say, he also played at several Worlds (7 to be precise) and reached the Quarterfinals twice. He has also played in the semifinals with Top Esports.
Karsa’s career began with Flash Wolves, where he spent two years between 2015 and 2017. This was at a time when the team was the best in the LMS and won all four splits consistently. The team also did well at Worlds and MSI in 2016 and 2017, but failed to win both events.
Joining Royal Never Give Up
It is safe to say Karsa made a name for himself while playing for Royal Never Give Up. The team was really good during that time and won the Spring and Summer LPL titles. Moreover, the squad even lifted the MSI 2018 trophy and was one of the main favorites for Worlds.
Sadly, RNG was unable to live up to the expectations during Worlds. The team lost to G2 Esports in a shocking loss ,and this put an end to Karsa’s dreams of lifting LoL’s most prestigious award.
Top Esports & Beyond
2020 was a crucial year for Karsa because the player became a part of Top Esports. During that time, the team won the LPL Summer title and reached the semifinals at Worlds before Suning eliminated it. This was Karsa’s best result at Worlds yet, but it was still not enough for him to win.
After spending some time with the Chinese powerhouse, Karsa played for Victory Five and then he became a part of Weibo Gaming. Sadly, the two stunts were not successful, so the player made a comeback to the Pacific region and played for the CTBC Flying Oyster. He was a part of the team six years ago.
Karsa’s last professional League of Legends team was PSG Talon and he managed to compete at Worlds again. Sadly, he did not win.
What’s Next for Karsa
After quitting professional League of Legends, Karsa will “continue forward with a new identity”. He will be live-streaming a lot more than before and will try to be more connected to his community. Follow Blix.gg for more information.
