2022!
Making it to LEC Academy has been a long-held ambition for me and joining the UK squad at Excel is a dream come true.
We're going to take the NLC by storm.
My goal this off-season was to hit "high" elo for the first time. ~200 games later...
31.03.2021: Platinum IV 0LP
17.04.2021: Master 1 LP
Anything is possible if you set your mind to it!
I’m gutted to the end the split 1-3 to
@RiddleEsports
and fail to make it to EUM.
Nevertheless, I’m proud we showcased another way to play League and I’m so grateful for all of the XL fans and support we’ve had this split.
GG to Riddle, we’ll be back to win it all in Summer! ❤️

Whilst I'm dissapointed with the end result, everyone arrived today with character nothing short of exemplary to try to and repair the damage of being 0-3.
Alas, not all wounds can be healed in time.

I'm devastated to be reverse swept today against

However, I'm also incredibly proud of my staff, my players and our journey this split to contend to win it all.
I couldn't have asked for a better team. ❤️

I just finished giving a guest lecture on the importance of coaching in esports at

It was my first time giving a university-style discourse on the subject and I hope I did it justice!
This offseason has been officially the craziest I've ever experienced but I am SYKED to be competing with Team Singularity in the NLC for the summer split!
We have a super explosive roster and will do our best to upset the giants.
Time to show off what we can do

Congrats
@Nordavindgg
on a great series.
We finish the season 4th in the NLC, having battled from the losers bracket all the way for a chance at EUM.
Whilst it hurts today, I'm proud of our growth this season and can't wait for summer to start.
Rest assured, we'll be back!
Happy to get off to a strong start vs
@X7_Esports
to begin our NLC Summer campaign!
We're taking things one step at a time and have a lot to work on, so I'm excited to see how far we can go.
Thanks for all the support so far in Twitch chat!
The Official Torok Tier List™ for NLC Summer 2022!
The jungle list could be very inaccurate due to only seeing a few games each of Diamondprox/Kreox/Stefan recently.
Chasy placing is speculative, but he looks good from a small sample size.
I can't wait for the split to start!
We showed a huge amount of improvement from our regular season and took
@dustyiceland
to a banger 5 game series today.
I'm incredibly proud of all my players and certain it's only up from here.
Buy your JDXL stocks now, we're going to conquer the mountain.

Hello Twitter long time no see!
We just won the upper bracket final 3-1 against a well-prepared

SIUUUUUUUUUU WE BEAT
@NNOPrime
AND MAKE IT TO THE NEXT ROUND!
Super mentality from the team today and very happy with our process from game to game.
Huge credit to the NNO squad they made it a super competitive series and showed some great sportsmanship behind the scenes, GG ❤️
I'm extremely satisfied to be able to unveil such a talented roster at the end of this off-season.
Kiao and I put in a huge shift over the past few months to make this happen and I couldn't be happier with the team we've put together.
I hope we can earn your support for 2021!
The NLC has always been a huge resource for the LEC and the ERLs in terms of broadcast talent, competitive players & staff.
Despite this, the region is constantly abandoned, downgraded and under resourced.
What a sad and shameless announcement from the TO of the region.
With the recent announcement about the NLC and ERL system, we would like to provide you with some insight into the upcoming changes for 2023 regarding:
- The NLC´s move to a non-accredited region
- Down scaling across the product
Tough series for us, but another step in our development has been taken today!
Well played to
@X7_Esports
you had our number and I'm sure you'll do great at EUM.
Looking forward to getting the play-ins buff in two weeks time 😎
We won our first series in
@EMEAmasters
2-0!
Very happy with the team’s performance, especially in game 1, but we know we need to find another level tomorrow.

@DMGesportGG
& VAMOS GIANTX!
I wanted to avoid having to post this, so I searched for every possible solution with
@LionscreedGG
until the end of the off-season.
Unfortunately, the organisation failed to meet its obligations with the
@NLClol
and as a result, I am teamless for the Summer.
1/3
I'm coming back to
@PrimeLeague
with some unfinished business.
I'm stoked with the roster I've managed to put together and I cannot wait to show what we can do.
Bring it on DACH region, this time the title will be ours!
With
@FNATIC
reaching a second EUM final for the NLC, I truly believe 2022 can be the year for the UK and Nordics to thrive.
3 EUM spots on the horizon, all-new tournament organisers and a stacked native player pool.
If there is any time, it's now.

Still working with

[Sources] Excel Esports will not have an academy team next year as they are leaving the NLC.
They'll also be leaving Polaris in Valorant
The main reason is that the British organization wants to focus on tier 1 competition. Excel consider adding another esport under their brand
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me on my coaching journey this year.
I truly wish I could have delivered a better result, but I'm also deeply honoured to call so many of you my friends.
Torok out, until next time. ❤️

It was an honour and a privilege to be the last Academy Head Coach for
@EXCEL

Being a part of EXCEL, (alongside FNCR) was always the aim for anyone working their way up through the UK scene and I'm glad to have managed that feat.
Wishing the LEC team every success next year!

The team and I are going to work super hard to be on top form for EMEA Masters in a weeks time!
¡Primer día completo de práctica hoy!
El equipo y yo vamos a trabajar muy duro para estar en la mejor forma para los EMEA Masters en una semana.
🇬🇧 As of this evening,
@Mrozku
will be promoted to our starting roster.
As a player in his rookie year, he must be given time to develop and grow into his new role, however I have every confidence in his ability to develop into an outstanding player.
Welcome to the team Adrian!
Today, our journey ends in the
@EMEAmasters
LCQ.
Since I arrived, everyone on the team has been so welcoming and practised hard so we could challenge anyone in Europe.
Unfortunately,
@ASUS_BK_ROG
were the better team today.
Gracias por recibirme, España, y hasta la próxima.
What a BANGER game to start off the X7th rivalry in the
@NLClol
!
Both teams played to a high standard and to lose in a game of inches is the second-best result I could've asked for.
Excited to get into week 2! GG nice akali pick
@nias_lol
There are so many things wrong with the current set of NLC changes I don't have the words.
Nobody signed up for this, nobody agreed to this and nobody is happy with this.
Twitlonger incoming.
Málaga is incredibly beautiful.
The Alcazaba is like nothing I’ve ever seen in Britain and is such wonderful cultural heritage.
I can’t wait to explore the rest of this city!
I am super proud to announce I have joined
@WLGgr
for the Greek Winter split!
We are already 3-0 and looking to go unbeaten in group A should we continue our current form.
I will be contactable via open DM's for any offers for spring split.
Let's go WLG!
A wonderful game and 9-0 in the NLC to complete the first half of the regular season against
@MNMGaming
!
I'm really proud of our progression as a team and I know the lads and I have so much more to give going into the 2nd half.
Thanks for all the support XL fans!
After a fantastic year with
@SNG_Esports
, they've agreed to loan me to
@Bifrost
for the NLC Winter Calibration.
I couldn't be more excited to lead this awesome roster to the NLC and I am SYKED for the next 3 weeks!
10HP NEXUS NOT EVEN CLOSE WE GOT THIS GAME AND I'M STILL SHAKING GG
@RiddleEsports
@nias_lol
WE BEAT RIDDLE 2-1 TO PUT US ONE GAME FROM EUM!
What an absolutely insane series I've never seen something like this in all my years in League and our nerves of steel CAME THROUGH!
Despite being 2-0 versus
@Bifrost
& finishing tied on head to head wins with them and
@X7_Esports
, we finish 3rd in the NLC regular split due to tiebreaker rules.
Congratulations to
@Bifrost
on finishing 1st you guys have had a great split!

@ApplesloI
into my coaching staff!
This new roster is full of talented guys and I hope we can give all the
@EXCEL
and
@NLClol
fans a reason to for us during the split!
On the whole, the past year has been a wonderful period of growth for me within esports as well as outside of it.
I've learnt many lessons that I will take with me to my future challenges and formed friendships I will cherish with people I never knew I'd meet before 2022.

We were on the ropes, but you all came back with a mindset of champions to emphatically sweep game 5.
Thank you for the split, and thanks to everyone, who believed in us. 💚
GG Kova!
In finishing the group 3rd behind Mad Lions, today we exceeded ALL expectations for the Baltic region.
Whilst I can't help wonder "what if" we managed to make it to playoffs, I also can't help being so proud of everyone involved with our run.
Thank you all so much! ❤️
It’s our debut game
@EMEAmasters
today and who better to face first than the NLC!?
We’ve made some big strides as a team in the past week of training and I can’t wait to get out there today.
Let’s make it a great series
