Yesterday, legendary esports player Fabian “Febiven” Diepstraten announced that he is retiring from competitive League of Legends. Here is his announcement:
Febiven Retiring – Why?
In his twitlonger, Febiven states that the main reason for his retirement was because of how low the chances are of him getting back onto a top team. He goes on to say that he mainly blames this on his decisions taken throughout his career. He then adds that there is too much uncertainty involved, and even if he were to receive an offer from a top team, his love for the game has faded.
This is what Febiven said about his departure from Fnatic and the game he loves:
“Thank you to Fnatic for giving me another shot of making it into their LEC team, it was something that was a real possibility and the goal of mine. It seems that the team has found their way and I’m very happy for them & I will continue to support their games including the academy team. I have been extremely fortunate to be able to do what I loved for so long and I’m super proud and happy how everything went from start to finish.”

What now?
Febiven does not give us a clear indication as to what his plans are for his future. However, he states that stepping down from competing will allow him to explore more options moving forward. This could mean many things, but one that is very probably is seeing him on the LEC desk at some point. His experience and insight would be great to have, and overall, it would feel like he never left!
We’re sure that Febiven will find a new path ahead, and we’ll be sure to write about it when he does!
