A player made the League of Legends community collectively follow his personal love drama with great interest after writing a long message about his former partner and ex-duo in the game. However, his ex also has complicated feelings about the breakup.
What did the player share about his ex? The player @SaskioLoL reached a lot of LoL fans with a post on X, where he talks about his experience with his former partner, with whom he also played as a duo … or rather, still does. He has to admit that he can’t help but continue to play with her regularly, as the two simply harmonize perfectly, without many pings, without much communication: “400 games of muscle memory don’t care a bit about relationship status.”
In his post, despite the status of “ex-relationship,” there is no malicious gossip, accusations, or envy towards his duo partner. On the contrary. He admits that he can’t get away from her, and apparently doesn’t want to either. Instead of sounding frustrated, Saskio sounds more melancholic:
It’s not a friendship. It’s not a rekindling. It’s not even nostalgia. It’s just that neither of us has found a better synergy.
And that’s the uncomfortable truth about duo queues.
You can break up with someone and still be competitive with them. You can hate someone deeply and still work perfectly in a team fight. You can emotionally move on and still struggle to replace what you had in the game.
Some people have ex-partners they still sleep with. I have an ex-partner I still play duo with.
I’m honestly not sure which is worse.

A short time later, Saskio announced another, but no less poetically phrased update: the two had a conversation, talked for 3 hours instead of just hearing each other’s voices occasionally in the game. They want to try again with a joint partnership, not just in LoL, but as a relationship.
How does the community react to this story of the duo? Among the various posts of the duo, loads of other players are following the story of how a former partnership within and outside of League of Legends is giving itself another chance.
For some, it’s cringe, for others super romantic, but for all exciting. When Saskio finally confirmed that they want to try again and give themselves another chance, the LoL community celebrates with them:
- “I don’t know you, but when I say that the original post and this latest update is my absolute favorite reading, I mean it. There’s no better feeling than being with someone in the Bot Lane who UNDERSTANDS you” (@SarakuraMisaki on X)
- “I feel like I’m watching a romantic comedy on a damn social media app […] I wish you both a happy and successful relationship!” (@Sly04WX on X)
- “I don’t know who you both are, but for some reason I’ve seen this whole story on my timeline, and even though it might be incredibly cringe, I find it both funny and great. You both should really touch grass, but let’s go Saskio!” (@GerausxldStandard on X)
Whether the two players staged their story on X or not, whether through true feelings or poetic creativity – they gave the LoL community a romantic drama that made them laugh, cringe, or both at the same time. With their story, they told a tale that would almost be suited for an animated adaptation, like that of the Eintracht Spandau team: Handofblood enters official cooperation with South Park, wants to save LoL, disses in passing NoWay: “I need a whole season of that”
The way he shared his feelings not only captivated a community but also reached certain, much more important individuals.
LoL community follows the duo as if they were a romantic drama
Who reacted to his posts? Under his post, Saskio attached a clip showing how well the two harmonize as a duo and commented on it as if it were a love letter. His emotional investment reached not only the official League of Legends account but also his ex, after he was alerted by the concerned user @adedejiwal on X: “She posted about you, get back together!”
His ex, @risorins, also seems to have complicated feelings about their current situation, as she explains in her aforementioned post on X.
