You've been to the wrong parties! As cool as LA is, Berlin night life is on another level
Good.... cosplay time
Thanks Romain, oh men had so much fun watching u with the UOL team and your costumer, you are one of our heroes!
<3 <3 <3.
Keep having fun :-)
Bravo!!!!!
This. This is the content we need.
Yes.
so good!! looking forward for final result :)
if you have time you may should tell us about that as well. All I remember is that i see you less which is kinda sad but mostly because you work more behind the scenes. Also I hope your body is still in shape? How else should I remember EU > NA if it isn't placed on some gucci billboard?
I still train 5 times a week, it's a good habit to keep ;)
Salut Romain , je ne sais pas si tu comptes lire ceci mais merci pour ton recit cetait interessant . Question : avec Zaboutine vous parliez en français ou en anglais dans les bureaux d'Optic ?
En francais à deux, en anglais quand il y avait d'autres personnes!
Hey Romain do you miss working with teams and player, now that you're a Rioter
I do miss working with players and I do miss the thrill of attending a tournament as a team
I like my current job more tho.
I work with an incredible team (my boss and colleagues are insane), I've access to all the infos I've always dreamt of and my missions take me all over Europe. So far so good :D

i see a difference between "friends" and "I enjoy spending time with you right now because both our lifes have the same goal for now". I don't know which one you need to make a team work. I know you need respect. Your midlander needs to think "I'm not sure if I'm friend with the jungler, but I believe he is the best at his job". Because that is a job, a really cool super competitive job, but still a job with a contract and KPIs. The day your toplaner believes he can do a better job than your adc on lane, you have a challenge at hands.
At the beginning of a team/season, everyone is in honeymoon phase, everyone is friend. If for whatever reason you have 2 bad weeks in a row and you go 0-4, friendship can be difficult to address what is really the problem. Not sure if that makes sense. Also the older I get the more i realise people come and go all the time for a lot of different reason. I don't want it to be sad so I enjoy as much as possible the adventure we share and I learn...
Read moreThe UOL gaming house was crazy and everyone in there just fun to have around! We have had many many awesome memories with these boys!
I will never forget them! PoE
Tristan! You are such a kind and goofy human. The love you have for the game and the respect you have for your job are rare and beautiful. It was a pleasure to work with you and to challenge you to give your best. I'm sorry our adventure stopped the way it did. I hope North America is taking good care of you, you deserve to be happy and to lift a trophee.
Thank you for the good times :-)
Awesome post/article!
What’s also interesting is how the "manager" role in esports is still very blurry, with some managers being almost only cooks and other the team’s unofficial COO (hello Till). I feel like management structure in esports is also bound to change in the future, with a clearer separation between GM and team manager.
In your eyes, what would be the "optimal" LoL support staff for a team?
Agreed on all your points!
Teams are still growing and figuring out what works best for them, so the real job of a manager is still blurry. From one org to another you will have a completely different job description.
I think its really important to clearly differentiate who works "on the game side", who works "on the Team org", who works on the "motivation/psy". Once you know who does what, phrase it, write it down, make sure everyone agrees, and go to war.
Ideally do that in November, while there is no tournament going on. Once the season starts, every week is a new adventure. Its complicated to work on building a plane when it already took off :D.
The perfect crew? Its difficult because I believe each person unlocks the next one. You should not hire people for a specific job but because they are great. Their job will evolve every 6 months, we are in esport, we are improvising half the things we are doing and everyone is learning in real time.

so gooooooooodddddddddddd
Romain! Indeed, it is an ecosystem that I believe will only get better as long as the smaller regions get the same treatment eventually.
Would love to highlight more ERLs but we'll see!
It will come!
One of the European strength! Our deep ecosystem allows some solid players scouting
WHERES MY NAKED TREVOR ROMAIN?
THERE IS NOTHING TO SEE
THIS IS NOT THE DROID YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
GO HOME AND THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE
Ha this is great! Thank you!
