A German Twitch streamer and popular caster of League of Legends was a bit disappointed by the Worlds 2025. In a video, he shares how it came to that and was lovingly supported by fans.
Which streamer and caster is it about? The Twitch streamer Maxim Markov began producing content for League of Legends in 2012. Later, he became a caster at Summoners Inn, a German-language project for news, streams, and general content around League of Legends.
In November 2023, Summoners Inn announced that they would discontinue the project and thanked Maxim and HandOfBlood among others for their work in building the largest German LoL community. After that, he slowly withdrew from the League of Legends scene but still occasionally created content about the MOBA.
After streaming LoL regularly to prepare for a tournament organized by his Twitch colleague Krokoboss, Maxim published a new video on his YouTube channel and raises the question of whether he will start actively playing LoL again.
Why is he complaining about the Worlds 2025? The World Championships and especially the finals have always been something special for Maxim. He asked around in the scene if there would be an event, but he was disappointed after discovering that nothing was prepared.
He himself speaks of a broken heart because LoL has accompanied him throughout his life, and in 2025 there was no proper event for the German-speaking fans. Maxim ultimately cast the finals with his Twitch colleague Tolkin in a private stream.
During the cast, Maxim felt uncomfortable, but fans loved it
Why did Maxim feel uncomfortable while casting with Tolkin? Maxim stated in the video that he was simply unprepared. He can manage the play-by-play commentary while the pros are playing live, but he doesn’t have a concluding sentence or slogan, which is part of the actual normal preparation.
How do the fans respond to Maxim’s thoughts on the Worlds 2025? Viewer and fan blaueflamme278 wrote under the video that Maxim’s casting was his personal highlight of the LoL year. In total, over 1,100 other fans agreed with him.
Also, bigschilling says nice words about Maxim and writes how great it was to see him cast again after all these years. According to the viewer, Maxim elevated the private Worlds event of Tolkin and him with his humor.
Will Maxim play LoL regularly again? No, while training for the tournament was fun, he does not have the time to only create LoL content. However, he would like to attend events as a commentator if invited.
Maxim will soon be casting on the big stage again
Where will Maxim next appear as a caster? On November 29, 2025, the third edition of the Red Bull League Of Its Own will take place. Some major figures from the LoL scene will meet in Munich.
In the video, Maxim hints that he will be there as a commentator. Alongside the multiple titleholders of the European league G2 Esports and the Twitch streamer’s team Caedrel, Los Ratones, the well-known German team NNO with NoWay will also be present.
The six-time world champions will also be at the Red Bull event of League of Legends. It was recently announced where the former ADC of Faker, Gumayusi, will play next.
