Hello everybody,
I've been home from the KR trip since Friday and my idea was to take the weeking off being offline and starting again today with streaming regularly. Unfortunate fever broke out last night and it's pretty shitty timing. I will extend my rest until I feel physically good to stream again ( mainly my voice )
I will do some offline recording whenever I feel some strength for youtube but I take regular breaks inbetween, so gotta wait till I feel fit enough to stream a full round
I wish you all an amazing productive start to your week, and I will be back very soon with healthmaxxing vitamins + diet💙
Yo bros an update on the KOREA TRIP and why I won't extend my trip past June 13th.
I want to write this post to keep you all updated on my experience and my trip here, so here's a quick summary of it all.
Thus far the Trip has been an amazing success and I could not be more grateful for all the things I get to experience here. We hit Rank 12 and were the highest LP toplaner for a bit. The overwhelming support has been absolutely amazing. I say this lightly in two sentences, but I am genuinely incredibly thankful for all of the support and everybody following me on this Journey and making it possible in the first place!
We are currently 1000 LP and have been for the past week and it's starting to feel like I've hit a plateau here. I'm constantly moving back and forth between 900-1100 LP And to hit Rank 1, we would need to reach a total of 1600 LP.
My personal goal going to Korea is hitting Rank 1. After not getting any closer after the past week of grinding has left me feeling a bit weird in general, and it impacted my mood heavily during streams. I don't want to make excuses as to why I can't climb higher but for me one takeaway is that it's hard to keep up with the Toplane meta in Korea. The most played champions by all toplaners are: Rumble, TF, Skarner, Camille, Ksante when I just play Riven. This of course is my own choice, and it is something I will consider for future similiar climbs and become more adaptive. It's hard to compete at this level when most meta champions counter Riven, and I don't want to only rely on playing Riven for future similiar climbs.
Then regarding balance
My sleepschedule here is no bueno. I fall asleep at around 11 AM Korea time and I wake up around 7-8 PM. I did this schedule the first week as I wanted to have the best possible timezone for EU / NA combined. However, I noticed that I can't maintain this schedule for longer but I have had issues trying to "Fix" my schedule. Everytime I would stay awake longer to reset my schedule, my body doesn't adapt to the new schedule I try to do to and I just end up laying awake in bed for a long time till it's around 8 AM again and finally fall asleep. This has just made me feel very exhausted in general after doing this unholy sleep schedule for 3 weeks.
There also has been some developments in my personal life that keep my thoughts occupied when I'm not streaming so it's been a bit hard for me to find good rest whilst I am here.
SO with these reasonings combined I've decided to not extend my Trip past June 13th.
Now I don't want this post to be about negativity, I just want to openly take you through my thoughts and reasonings to not extend my trip further and my trip thus far. It feels good for me to write these things out as it just clears my head and relieves some pressure that I mostly put on myself. I will spend the last week still streaming and playing in Korea but I will also go and sightsee beyond the 4 corners of my Hotel room. I'm very open to some recommendations for Restaurants/Places to visit!
My main goal is returning to POSITIVE energy for the Streams that I will do and ENJOY the remainder of my Trip here. Let's make the last week of the Korea trip a banger and who knows where we end up o7
YO BROS
Today long stream -> 700 LP Rank 41 start, lets see if we can get top 20 and I play majoras mask in queue
ALSO, can we hit 100K Followers on Twitch today?? www.twitch.tv/alois_NL
YO BROS, update on Korea trip
We hit Challenger in Korea with a 67% winrate after 8 days of playing, and I am feeling absolutely amazing. The MMR we currently have is around +25 -15, and I'm starting to build confidence that I really can go all the way to Rank 1 which is the end goal of this trip.
We started off in Gold elo after placements, and we started climbing fast. Around mid-high Plat we started getting into master Lobbies, and since Emerald we've been sitting in the highest MMR games possible which is why my MMR is so good.
I hope that you guys are enjoying the full tryhard content over in Korea, and we'll be here for a minimum of 3 more weeks to try and get to Rank 1. I am streaming everyday for about 9-12 hours and I will keep AT IT.
Two quick updates for the trip:
I have a second channel where I store full unedited VODs of the best games we have in Korea, so if you want to study full unedited VODS ( also of the games that are posted on the main channel ) go check it out here:

Lastly
Thank you to all of you for ALL and ANY support, if it wasn't for all of you I would not be able to be here in Korea and make content for a living. I have the privilege to wake up everyday to do what I love, and I am genuinely extremely grateful to each and every single one of you and I never want to stop repeating that. Thank you for putting me in the position that I am in, I will keep striving to make the best content and get RANK 1.
THE KOREAN SOLOQ GRIND BEGINS, DAY 1: www.twitch.tv/alois_nl
WHATUP BROS
Split 2 KOREA SERVER grind is on the horizon. Last time we travelled I got rank 13 before I got permanently banned thus stopping the climb. This time it will be different.
I am ready and completely charged up to showcase that FANTAMENTOS will persevere and proof myself again in the Korean server, this time with a Riot account so we will have no risks. I will stay for atleast 30 nights of full grinding as I will strive to stream a minimum of 10 hours everyday, more announcements about that on split 2 start. THIS time I will go all the way with the goal of RANK 1
I will travel today and arrive pretty late on Monday, then setup all on Tuesday and on Wednesday the journey starts. I want to take you guys with me on the journey, so if you want to get lots of updates like food, places etc about the trip, follow me on instagram here: www.instagram.com/Alois_NL/

I am back from my week family trip and I am so excited to be back. Today I will start with a fresh account where I will be making it FULL educational in the lower MMR's for Riven and then going to be full tryhard here till the split ends. I can't say it with 100% certainty yet, but IT IS VERY LIKELY I will be going to Korea in two weeks already for the start of split 2, final plans will be made this week and I am ready to go all out
Back in business baby

Hello everybody!
To preface, as always but most importantly: Thank you for your continued support and allowing me to do what I do, I will forever be grateful for my position and I never want to grow complacent in that regard, thank you seriously!
Short personal/content update here: I've mentioned it multiple times on stream but I want to make a bit more of an official announcement too
- I will be visiting my family till the 29th of April, so no streams till then. There will still be daily YouTube bangers and once I'm back I've lots ideas for content!
-> My first goal is to go to Korea again during Split 2. This might be at the start of split 2, which would only be a few weeks from now, but can also be later so this is still TBD. Last time I went I peaked at rank 13 and then my account got banned along with the other streamers, and the goal would be to really try hard again and see if we can surpass that.
-> I will do some new unranked to Master toplane champs, the first champions I have in mind are Urgot/Riven for season 14 and after I've done some more toplaners, I want to try making some educational content in another role, like MID/JGL/ADC first which is also TBD
Some more review/react content, similar to as I've done before as well but more consistently!
Super excited for the start of split 2 and the content ideas and always open to new ones / suggestions too!
IN OTHER NEWS, I will be posting more actively on my Instagram during my stay here in Hungary with family, but I also want to start using IG more actively just in general, so if you'd like to see some more chill content you can check it out here, like my picture with the HOMIE Benjamin: instagram.com/Alois_NL
I'm that guy that talks a lot about toplane fundamentals. I played League professionaly for 3 years and I've been challenger for 7 years and counting, and I'm here to teach you guys everything about toplane!
