October 31 marked a turning point in the S15 League of Legends World Championship when AL’s top laner Li Xuanjun, known to fans as Flandre, faced a heart-stopping 2-3 defeat to T1 in the quarterfinals. The narrow loss ended AL’s run just one win shy of the semifinals.
Reflecting on a professional journey spanning a decade, Flandre shared with CGTN how he’s witnessed both rapid defeats and near-victories. "A decade pro, I’ve given almost all time to League of Legends," he said. Those quick losses taught resilience, and the near wins fueled ambition, proving that growth is the fruit of struggle.
Over ten years in the limelight, what began as a beloved job evolved into a duty carried by the unwavering support of teammates and fans around the globe. Now, with his passion stronger than ever, Flandre’s focus is simple: keep playing and chase that elusive title.
