Streamer teams seem to be a new trend in League of Legends. The big name recently: Los Ratones. The top laner Thebausffs is known for winning mainly through constant dying. In a recent interview, he spoke quite negatively about some professional players.
Who is Thebausffs? The big LoL streamer Caedral founded the influencer team Los Ratones in November 2024. The top laner of the team is the notorious Thebausffs. He established the Sion inting tactic and is known for dying frequently. As bad as it can be, it works brilliantly.
Many players criticized the decision to hire Thebausffs as a top laner. He is regarded by many as a troll. However, Thebausffs definitely wants to be successful with his new team. He is even quite confident. In a recent interview, he talks about a possible future but also disparagingly remarks about the players in the European league.
There are also teams of influencers in Germany:
They steal paychecks. They don’t belong there.
What does Thebausffs say? Dexerto spoke in an interview with the top laner of Los Ratones about his expectations and desires for the future. His inting strategy is discussed, but also his skills with classic champions and tactics.
He states that his biggest goal is to win. Whether he does that with his personal inting strategy or regularly, he doesn’t care. When asked if he will win the Worlds, the World Championship in LoL, he said seriously according to Dexerto: That is his goal for the future.
In this regard, he is asked if he and the team want to join the LEC, the European top league. This is also a goal of Los Ratones. Although they will not play there in 2025, the entire team is ambitious to make it into the league.
However, he doesn’t seem to have much regard for many of the top laners in the LEC. Although he doesn’t name names, he expresses himself quite disparagingly about some of them:
We talked about it, and as a top laner, I can tell you that there are some top laners in the LEC who are completely boosted. They are really, really bad. They steal paychecks. They don’t belong there. I am much better than many LEC top laners. I wouldn’t say that I’m number one.

He also speaks quite positively about his teammates. He even compares them to Caps, one of the best players in the league.
However, he has to prove the big words in 2025. With his team Los Ratones, he will officially participate in a league for the first time in 2025. How well the team performs consistently will have to be seen. A lot has also changed with the German team NNO: A team of 5 German Twitch streamers conquers LoL, now NNO is falling apart and starting anew
