If Faker is the peak of the "talent type single", then Crown should be the benchmark of the "hard work type single". But Crown seems to have been a backstory for Faker throughout his career, and even at the peak of S7, he didn't get the audience's approval. Recently, Crown posted that he was taking sleeping pills and antidepressants, and sighed: Life is not smooth. Although the global championship is the highest honor in the hearts of countless professional players, it seems that there is no special blessing for Crown, and he has become the most miserable world champion single, which makes people feel infinite sympathy.
Crown wasn't an amazingly talented player, he first debuted in StarCraft and only transitioned to a LOL pro in 2012. But when he first debuted, LCK did not have a team willing to want him, he had to go to brazil. It wasn't until 2015, when Samsung threw an olive branch at him, that he made his debut at LCK.
The first year's results were not very good, but he did not give up this hard-won opportunity, but redoubled his efforts, training is always the first to arrive, the last to leave. It paid off, and at S6 he finally welcomed his teammates like Cuvee, Ann, Ruler and Corejj. But in the final global finals, he lost to Faker's SKT, relegated to the second place, no one remembers him in the final with a clockwork to kill Faker's Victor, people only when he was the background board under the Legend of Faker's "Treble".
S7 They competed in the global finals again, but they were still a team that was not favored, and they were killed by RNG in the group stage. When RNG was eliminated by SKT, he once again competed with Faker in the final. This time Lady Luck was on his side, with Samsung sweeping SKT 3-0 straight away, and he hadn't won the LCK League yet, he had won the global championship first.
But this honor did not bring him too much joy, but became a fuse that destroyed his spirit. People accused him of preventing Faker from completing the "four-crown legend", and also believed that his use of Marzaha in the final was a "useless man" and a "bastard in a single" who did not deserve to win the championship at all. In wave after wave of public condemnation, Crown's spirit was finally crushed. In 2018, his form plummeted, and then he left North America, but there were no results. In 2020, he announced his retirement, and a generation of legends officially came to an end.
Personal opinion
To use today's terms, Crown was one of the first to encounter online violence. Maybe the effort to the extreme will not fulfill the wishes of those who only appreciate the gorgeous operation. Crown fell prey to that impetuous era. But life is wonderful, and everyone who strives to live is worth applauding. So, do you have anything to say about Crown's current situation?
