Raitch/R4itch
When did you start playing LOL?
In the beginning of season one
In which teams have you already been playing?
I have played for:
- Imperial esports
- BigEU
- Esuba Intel
- H2K (substitute player)
In which tournaments have you participated?
- Pepper cup (Gamescom)
- Dreamhack Leipzig
- Luxemburg Gaming Experience
- Sector One
Why is League of Legends your favourite game ?
Hard to tell, do I really like it after all? XD
What was the first game you have played, which you have been fascinated from? The game that inspired you to become a true gamer?
I grew up with the Gamecube and the Playstation2.
I became a true gamer due to League of Legends, because of the competitive challenges.
Which platform do you prefer?
Definitely PC
Which aspects are important for you in a game?
- Atmosphere
- Long term fun
- Concept
What is your favourite genre?
I am only interested in strategic games.
How much time do you invest per day to your hobby?
That varies from four up to six hours per day.
How many games do you play through over a year?
I do not play that many games. Mostly I play League of Legends, sometimes H1Z1 and just for fun Diablo3.
How many games do you have in your collection?
I have about twenty-five games in my collection, but actively I only play 2 of them.
Why did you choose gaming as hobby and not another one like music, sports, art etc.?
I did some sport in my past, soccer and kickboxing. I Also did some drawing.
When the first esports tournaments came out where I could finally qualify myself, I build up a passion, that I did not have with my other hobbies.
What was your most beautiful gaming experience?
One of my best moments was, when the manager of H2K contacted me and asked me to be a substitute player for their team. Unfortunately, have I never been in action for the League champion series. I also want to mention two more experiences, one, is that I have won the first Luxemburg Gaming Experience tournament, the other is, that I already could play for two big Esports teams in major tournaments.
Can you name three Games/Players, that inspired you? Why?
The player Froggen was my idol. He is also the reason why I am still playing Midlane in League of Legends.
Dyrus definitely inspired me, I had so many nice evenings, by watching his stream and through that League of Legends became one of my favourite games.
I do not have a third player that influenced my gaming career. The two I mentioned are those who motivated the most.
With which video character would you like to have diner if possible?
That is a good question, but definitely a Pokemon.
Do you see yourself still playing videogames when you are in a retirement home?
Nobody knows that for sure, maybe in the future I have another passion, we will see 😉
Which ability of a video character would you like to have in real life?
I would like to have the ability of Kirby, so I could engulf everything and fly away with it.
A fire outbreaks in your home, does your console and games count to the things you would save?
Definitely not, those things are replaceable. First of all, I would check on my loved ones (pets included), if then I still have enough time to save something else, I would look for keepsakes.

Our lions are back and they want more!
Our lions are back and they want more!
Our lions are back, and they want more!
After our well-earned victory during the Post league in 2020, some of our teammates decided to strive another way. However, after some months of recruitment, we finally established a new team.
Our new roster looks as follows:
- KeNNetic (Top Lane)
- Mistkäfer (Jungle)
- Tim Shady (Mid)
- KoreanCarryJK (ADC)
- Yatoon (Support)
While KeNNetic (Ken Theis), Tim Shady (Tim Theis) and Yatoon (Yan Theis) are names that should sound familiar, some of them are now positioned on new lanes for this year’s season of the Post Esports Masters. KeNNetic, as the only one who does not go through any change this season, remains on the top lane. Following we have the MVP of the previous year Tim Shady switching his position up and leading the team now as our new midlaner. The last of our already known members is Yatoon, who is now no longer a substitute player, but plays the game in the main roster, as the team’s support.
Nevertheless, we don’t want to forget about our members who joined the team for this new season. We are happy to welcome Mistkäfer (Mika Schaeffer) who joins the team, stepping into the footprints of Tim Shady, as the new jungler, accompanied by KoreanCarryJK (Daniel Duhr), who joins our team as the new ADC, joining Yatoon on the bot lane.
We are also happy to announce that all the stated players are now under contract with us and we hope to be able to defend our title!
If you want to see a presentation of the all the players, stay tuned for that during the eastern school holiday weeks, which is the week from the 5th to the 8th of April.
What we can say about our team at this moment in time is that they are all engaged in their training, preparing themselves for the upcoming matches. We don’t want to name anyone by name here, but what we can mention is that our team’s training involves matches with other competing teams, so that we can make sure that our team will be prepared for everything.
Additionally, we want to announce that our team did not only change members, but also changed its name. In future our team will be known as the ‘Red Lions’, keeping their connection to the BOTRL, but making it sound less attached overall, as they form their own part in our community.
We are all eager to see where our new team will lead us.
That said, one thing is for sure, our new lions are hungrier than ever!
