One of the most decorated League of Legends players on the European scene is taking a break from the competitive scene. Multiple trophies highlight Luka "Perkz" Perković's track record, but for now he has decided to take a step back from professional play.
LS responds to Perkz taking a break and talks about the future of LoL Esports with Selfmade and Gryffinn
In a post shared to his Twitter/X account today, Perkz revealed his intentions for the next few months as he focuses on what his future could look like. In his post, Perkz acknowledged that his main motivation in competitive gaming was to qualify for MSI or Worlds and compete internationally. But he admitted that he “didn’t really enjoy” the process of striving for those events.
This announcement follows Perkz's absence from the LEC during the previous Spring Split after being cut from Team Heretics' main roster. At the time, Heretics co-founder Arnau Vidal explained the reasoning behind the move, acknowledging Perkz's hard work but stating that there had been no improvement in the team dynamic leading up to the spring.
Reports suggest that the decision to bench Perkz was made following an alleged dispute between the mid laner and his team manager, leading to speculation about other conflicts within the League team.
