When did you start playing LOL?
I got into playing LoL around late 2014 when my friend group introduced it to me. I showed interest and they had me choose a character and they'd teach me how to play it. I chose the Spartan looking dude since I love history and the Spartans were always my most favorite warriors from history. That character was Pantheon. I had a lot of fun playing him and I still play him to this day! Not long after being introduced, around spring of 2015, I was curious about pro play so I looked it up on YouTube and happened around the current North America tournament season. The LCS. I watched a lot of games and was so fascinated with the strategies and the match up of champions that the players used. One team always caught my eye and I was always so excited to watch them play. That team was Cloud9. After that season, my love built for LoL and Cloud9. I guess you could say the rest is history.
What are your experiences with the LOL community?
I've had a lot of mixed experiences in the LoL community. It has a notorious reputation of people not being friendly online. I knew that getting into it as it is the same with any online game. However, that didn't deter me and I have my friend group I could always hang out and have a good time with. Through my fandom of Cloud9, I learned about Cloud9 Stratus and joined up as soon as I could. Now having been with them for just over four months now and having played countless games with a variety of the other members, I would consider the LoL community as like a second family. There will always be someone I could look up to and hang out with.
What are your other passions?
I've been playing guitar for about 12 years now and have picked up a variety of other instruments during this time. I've been in a few bands during this time but have learned that it's really not for me. I can also be found either playing any sort of single player video games when I'm not playing LoL or playing card games with my friends such as Magic: The Gathering. Currently, I'm spending a lot of time working on my car to make it run as well as possible as I'd like for it to last for a few more years. I can also be found streaming Dungeons & Dragons with other members of Cloud9 Stratus! You can find us at https://www.twitch.tv/xandergauge77 We stream every other Saturday at 6 pm EST.
As Alexander has said, the Stratus community are wonderful, I guess you could call them the Cloud9 super fans! I have really enjoyed my interactions with them, they remind me of family! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions Alexander, lots of love, LeicesterLadyPerkz xxx
