Det europæiske LCS-mandskab, Millenium, mister fra dags dato deres nu tidligere jungler og kaptajn, Alvar Martin "Araneae" Aleñar, det skriver hovedpersonen i en følelsesladet Facebook status.

Millenium spiller, mildest talt, forfærdeligt for tiden, og de kan slet ikke få gang i deres spil i LCS. Dette har medført, at de ligger absolut sidst i tabellen med hele ni point op til nummer seks, med kun 18 point tilbage at spille om. Dette har Araneae nu taget konsekvensen af, og han forlader fra dags dato holdet.

Millenium står nu tilbage med følgende:

  • Kevin "kev1n" Rubiszewski - Top
  • Markus "Kottenx" Tingvall - Jungle
  • Adrian "Kerp" Wetekam - Mid
  • Jakub "Creaton" Grzegorzewski - ADC
  • Alexander "Jree" Bergström - Support
  • Joseph "Joe" Brophy - Sub

Det har dog uden tvivl været en svær tid for den spanske jungler og beslutningen om, at forlade holdet har været mindst lige så svær.

It’s also true that I was always really harsh on myself, saying after every loss that it was my fault and that I lost the game alone. After watching replays and analysing it I came to not think this way. We all as a team made so many mistakes. However I kept saying that just to ease the pressure on my teammates, making the public eye and the critics focus just on me and not on my team. Even if they made a mistake, I never told them (in LCS, in scrims is different), I just pointed to myself so they could keep performing good.

Men nu er det slut med at bebrejde sig selv, da hans tid hos Millenium er ovre. Han forlader dog holdet med et smil på læben og med en tåre eller to i øjet.

I would like to thank everyone who was next to me the last years, but since I already wrote a big text, I will end it soon. I would like to thanks a lot all of my teammates; ForellenLord, Kev1n, Jree, Kerp, you guys became more than teammates; you became friends. That’s something I would never forget. Another special thanks to Creaton, for being the most awesome person/player I could ever wish/met. Thanks as well to Dreamz and Bjoran for helping me so much in the past months with my motivation and my mentality. And a last thanks to everyone who worked for/on LCS, from players to Rioters, you are all awesome. Thanks for everything, and remember, ‪#‎keepsmiling‬.

Det er stadig uklart om Araneae vælger at stoppe sin aktive karriere som spiller eller ej, men det er væltet ind med rørende støtte-beskeder til spanieren på hans Facebook og Twitter profil, så der er ingen tvivl om, at scenen helst ser ham fortsætte.

Det er netop blevet offentliggjort på Milleniums hjemmeside, at Markus "Kottenx" Tingvall, skal erstatte Araneae fremover.
