FunPlus Phoenix's Doinb says he won't stop playing League because "it's simply too fun"

After winning the Summoner’s Cup with FunPlus Phoenix earlier this year, many people believed that superstar mid laner Kim “Doinb” Tae-sang was going to hang up the keyboard and mouse and retire from the competitive League of Legends scene. But a new article written by the 23-year-old on The Players’ Tribune today dispelled all notions of that idea.

“I don’t know how much longer I’ll be playing this game, but for as long as I physically and mentally have the ability to compete at this level, I cannot stop,” Doinb said. “I won’t stop training. I won’t stop dreaming of LoL. It’s simply too fun.”

Doinb considered retiring in 2016 due to a lack of success in his career up to that point. He had just been demoted to QG Reapers’ secondary squad and he wasn’t even playing matches. He “didn’t know who [he] was” if he wasn’t playing League since the game was such a huge part of his life.
