Instantly he realized it was actually the best gift ever. This changed Saintvicious’ life as he expanded the games he played by discovering other games like World of Warcraft and DoTA. When League of Legends was out of its beta period, he started playing it just like any other game. Saintvicious soon realized that he had a knack for understanding the gameplay, which quickly led to him playing at a professional level. Now, Saintvicious plays for Counter Logic Gaming and as long as the team is around, Saintvicious hopes that it will stay at the top of all teams.
"All planned"
23 years old, from United StatesBeing the youngest of his family, Steve “Chauster” Chau always followed his older siblings and mimicked whatever they did, which was predominantly playing games. He first started out with NES games like Contra, Double Dragon, and Tecmo Wrestling and transitioned to SNES and PlayStation. During that time, he began playing Starcraft I exclusively. However, Chauster found it difficult to balance his time for gaming and education, so he decided to take a break. When he found free time, he tried out League of Legends just as something to do to pass time but eventually became hooked. He believes that even though he doesn’t have the best mechanics, reaction time, or skill, he makes up for it with his superior knowledge of gameplay. As League of Legends continues to grow, Chauster believes it would be amazing if it was the game that pioneered eSports into the mainstream for the United States, with Counter Logic Gaming dominating from the top.

18 years old, from United States
Peter “Doublelift” Peng first found out about his love for games through the classic Nintendo 64 titles Star Fox and Golden Eye. When his brother finally got a computer, Doublelift frequently used it to play Diablo 1 and Starcraft. Because Doublelift’s brother always bought a new computer every few years, he soon came to own his own hand-me-down desktop. This let him spend more time playing computer games such as DoTA, WoW, and HoN with his brother and friends. Eventually they all left these games behind moved LoL. Through his experience playing League of Legends, Doublelift believes that his strongest skill is mechanics such as last-hitting, timing, and positioning. He joined Counter Logic Gaming in hopes of pursuing his dream to become a professional gamer and feels that CLG is one of the best teams in the competitive scene.
