After 3+ seasons, 89 episodes, never missing an LCS weekend since 2015, countless sleepless nights, filming, editing, and directing every episode, today’s episode of TSM: Legends will be my final one serving as full-time director of the series. I‘ll be staying on as executive producer of the show but will be shifting my main focus at TSM to leading/growing our content team.

​Legends was something I thought about literally every single day of my life since I got hired by TSM at the start of 2015, so walking away is a little emotional for me. We started a trend with Legends, so I’m super proud that I got to contribute to esports content in some way with this series.

Some of my all-time favorite memories have been made while working on this show. I’ve been right there with the League of Legends team to capture every moment. From the amazing victories in Katowice, LA, Toronto, Vancouver, and Boston, to the devastating losses at MSG, Vegas, MSI, and Worlds.

Anyway, I just remembered that I hate writing, so let‘s wrap this up!

My number one goal in life is to make fun and wholesome content that can make people happy, so I hope I’ve been able to accomplish that through Legends. Without the fans, none of this would even matter. And a big thank you especially to the /r/TeamSoloMid subreddit for always providing helpful feedback/criticism, and for just being supportive whenever we post any content. You guys rule! :D

I’m handing the TSM: Legends directing duties over to @TSMAndrew, who has been my assistant camera operator since 2016. I have complete faith in him to continue and improve upon the series that Leena and I created together in 2015. I’m really excited to see which direction he takes the show in, and I’m doubly excited to not have to get “WHERE’S TSM LEGENDS” spam tweeted at me every Friday anymore!

I’m really excited about my new role at TSM. It’s going to result in a ton more content for you guys, so please stay tuned! We’ve got some spicy stuff coming in just around the corner! And also! I’m gonna give live streaming a go sometime soon where I’ll be editing videos live and other dumb stuff.
