“League of Legends” professional PowerOfEvil
talks in an entertaining YouTube video about the reasons for his switch to Eintracht Spandau, the LoL club of Twitch streamer HandOfBlood.
Who is it about? This is about the LoL professional Tristan PowerOfEvil
Schrage, who was at times one of the strongest mid laners in the LCS. In a new video on YouTube, he speaks in a kind of “fun interview” about his switch to Eintracht Spandau – and why he prefers Eintracht Spandau to a major club.
In his usual exaggerated manner, we see an interview and a recap of how HandOfBlood, in his role as high-Elo consultant
, tries to win over the player for Eintracht Spandau.
Recently, the team won the Prime League and the EMEA Masters:
No more fake niceties
Even if the video probably didn’t happen exactly this way – HandOfBlood likely didn’t wave a fruit basket in front of the professional’s face – it still has a kernel of truth.
What does the video show? In the video, PowerOfEvil is stereotypically seen walking through a villa in a bathrobe. He is followed by HandOfBlood in his role as high-Elo consultant, who wants to convince him to switch to Eintracht Spandau. He promises him luxury and glamour. However, PowerOfEvil is not interested in that because he does not want luxury at all.
The high-Elo consultant makes various offers to the professional player in the video. If he comes to Spandau, he will be “the true superstar.” The consultant notes that his counterpart is “a pretty tough cookie” and tries to convince him with private cars including a chauffeur, catering, and fruit baskets.
However, he cannot impress PowerOfEvil because: He has already had all that – this “fake niceness.” Real sports are of “no interest” anymore. He wants something “real” for once.
According to the story in the video, PowerOfEvil returned from LA to Germany, after he was left without a team and was actually not planning to play as a professional anymore.
“Spandau is different, but real”
What convinced PowerOfEvil? Eventually, the high-Elo consultant convinces “Mr. Evil” of his club – because: Spandau is not all “glitz and glamour.” The consultant is just trying to sell it that way. There is a “real fan pub with ultras, but also a real fan culture.” They do not play LEC there, but “this Prime League.” Spandau is different, but “real.”
This way, the consultant ultimately impresses the professional player. The “new offer from the LEC,” which the interview partner mentions in one scene, does not matter to PowerOfEvil. A switch is out of the question for PowerOfEvil; after all, he did not go to Eintracht Spandau for fame or money. He doesn’t need any “special treatment.”
Reactions from the community: Although not everything happened exactly that way, the community is moved by the scenes – as is often the case with the elaborately produced videos from Eintracht Spandau.
Fans not only emphasize that the video is typically funny and totally exaggerated, but the recap of how PowerOfEvil came to Eintracht Spandau seems to excite them as well.

Imagine such an “origin story” would exist in the future for every new member that shows their way to Eintracht.

If the president had also talked about the strawberries in the fruit basket besides the bananas, then Mr. Evil would have thrown around the signature.

I want this book from the president! Thanks, once again great content. I missed these scripted videos.
Around the club Eintracht Spandau, there is not only a pronounced fan culture including ultras, but also an elaborate lore. A central part of it is HandOfBlood in his role as President Knabe. What makes his role so special, you can read here: President Knabe – What makes HandOfBlood’s role so good
