Maxime “Maxtrobo” Delangis (@Maxtrobo) coming in as Academy Top for Clutch!

Q: What got you started in League?

A: I started playing League because a lot of my friends were playing the game. They would always ask me to join them and I thoroughly enjoyed playing with them. It ultimately came down to a friendly rivalry between a friend and me: we were always competing for who was the best and I attribute that as how I got here, by just wanting to be better than my friend.

Q: What’s your personal take on Challenger transitioning into Academy League?

A: Challenger transitioning into Academy is a great deal for young NA talent. NA definitely lacks in talent right now and I think academy is a great way to support and grow the talent we have.

Q: What made you decide to join Clutch Gaming?

A: What made me want to join Clutch Gaming is their analytical approach. I think the way they scouted players was really well done and that the staff really knew what they were doing. I know by joining CG I would become a great player and eventually get to LCS.

Q: Do you have any tips for aspiring pro-league players out there?

A: My tips to aspiring pro-league players are: play a lot, always watch replays of what you’re doing, try to understand what you are doing well at and what mistakes you are making. The key to success in everything is to practice, put a lot of effort and energy, and playing as often as you can.

Q: What are you looking forward to most in 2018?

A: What I’m looking forward to most in 2018 is just to get better and improving to become the best I can. I think success for our academy team and our main LCS team is something I’m looking forward to. However, what I want the most is personal growth and self-improvement.
