Former Worlds champ Crown retires after Bjergsen, Doublelift

Former Samsung Galaxy mid laner Lee “Crown” Min-ho has announced that he will retire from professional League of Legends. 

After more than five years as a professional player, Crown will step back from pro play after a year in the Korean challenger league. Crown made a name for himself in 2017 whe won the 2017 World Championship together with Samsung Galaxy. Crown will be another big name to retire in the 2020 offseason, alongside other legends such as Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg and Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng.

Crown announced the move on Instagram, explaining how he started to have negative and stressful thoughts about playing. This seems to be the main reason for the decision and why Crown will no longer be playing at a professional level. 

It’s unknown what Crown will do next, but some fans are expecting him to move into content creation and focus on streaming. Fans might also see Crown as a coach, analyst, or caster in the future like many other former professionals. 

Even though Crown ended his career after two unsuccessful years in North America, he will still be remembered as a former World Champion and one of the best mid laners in Korea during the 2017 season. Crown ended up playing for OpTic Gaming, Immortals, and CLG in the LCS, before returning to Korea to play for OZ Gaming in his last season.
