By working the Major, I won't be attending MSI. This was a very hard decision to make, and I'm thankful Riot understand.
To be part of a Major in my homecountry is an honor I didn't ever think I would get. I will work my ass off. Thank you @pglesports
Sjokz' first exposure to esports were in first person shooters. She started off in the Unreal Tournament '99 as a player, and this is also where she got her name. Afterwards, she became a journalist before becoming an interviewer, a desk host, and a mainstay in League of Legends events.
