Bjergsen retires from League of Legends to become TSM Head Coach Bruno Alvares, Riot GamesLCS veteran S\u00f8ren \u2018Bjergsen\u2019 Bjerg has announced his retirement from professional League of Legends, surprising fans with a transition to TSM\u2019s Head Coach. After winning multiple LCS titles and cementing himself as one of the greatest players to have competed in the LCS, Danish star Bjergsen revealed that he would be retiring from League of Legends on October 24. Despite carrying TSM to another LCS win in the summer split and securing a spot at Worlds 2020, after their 0-6 record in the international event\u2019s group stage, he released a vlog to give fans an update on his future. In the TSM announcement video, Bjergsen confirmed that he would not be competing in the 2021 spring split and would be coaching the TSM roster instead. \u201cAfter playing professional League of Legends for about eight years and playing for TSM for close to six, I\u2019m here to talk about the fact that I\u2019m retiring as a professional player and stepping into the head coach role for TSM,\u201d Bjergsen added. The mid-laner explained that the decision was not made because of their Worlds showing and revealed that it was one he had thought about for quite a while. \u201cIt probably comes a shock to a lot of you guys and I don\u2019t want it to seem like it\u2019s a sudden reaction to our poor Worlds run, it\u2019s something I\u2019ve been thinking about for a long time,\u201d he revealed, \u201cI really wanted to have a good season before becoming a coach.\u201d As TSM\u2019s general manager Parth Naidu had been filling in as head coach in 2020, the move makes a lot of sense from an organizational standpoint but will likely disappoint many fans of the star player. Bjergsen has also been a part-owner of TSM, since re-signing with them in October 2019, meaning that he will likely be staying with the North American organization for the foreseeable future. As of now, the future of TSM\u2019s starting roster is still unclear, but it is likely that more roster moves will be revealed during League\u2019s 2021 preseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
