Velja Was Saved By Caedrel | The Off-Season Interviews

Velja speaks to DonJake about where he came from, along with always being an outside person until he got a computer to game on. Going into his beginnings in the ERL scene and consistently reaching challenger. Turning to the present and his adjustment to LEC Versus and speaking about his Los Ratones teammates and what he thinks about them. Diving into what makes him a clutch player and further going into his childhood and how he started League of Legends. Talking about his parents and his rough relationship with his father and how he broke the cycle not wanting to be like him. Velja speaks about his journey of Los Ratones and speaking about the what ifs and interest in LEC. DonJake asks Velja about him being a rage baiter with his teammates and his team's time in EMEA Masters into the struggles of reaching the top, connecting to him being a lighting rod for his team, bringing up the mood and being the hope in the dark. Velja sheds light on the experience being in a streamer team along with the struggles that came with that tying into the conversation of losing EMEA Masters. The conversation goes off topic with who can dance in Los Ratones into talking about League of Its Own with the pressure and expectations Velja has with the upcoming LEC Versus. Ending the interview talking about Caedrel, who shot calls in G2 and LR into thanking the fans and DonJake.
