When Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen announced his retirement from professional League of Legends, the news sent a wave through the League of Legends communities. On the most recent episode of The Dive Podcast, former teammate and Cloud9 jungler William “Meteos” Hartman offered a candid and personal take on the mid-laner’s legacy and their relationship.
“I have a lot of good memories of Jensen,” Meteos recalled on the podcast, “but most of them were outside of the game.” He didn’t sugarcoat their past. “I don’t think it’s a secret that me and Jensen didn’t get along as teammates,” Meteos admitted. “We had very different views on how to play the game.”
Those different visions clashed during their time together on Cloud9. Yet, as time passed, their relationship became friendly. “We didn’t really like each other on C9,” Meteos said, “but after we weren’t playing together we became friends.”
While Meteos comment seem harsh, we have to remember that Meteos is known for being a joker, so it’s worth taking his comments with a grain of salt.
Jensen’s Record-Breaking Career
Jensen’s professional accomplishments are impossible to overlook. He ranks second in total kills all time in the LCS/LTAN, third in game wins, and fourth in games played. He holds the all-time single-game kill record with 20 on LeBlanc and made eight consecutive Worlds appearances.
Meteos’ remarks highlighted that a player’s legacy is not just about stats and trophies. It is also about the shared history, the tensions and the mutual respect forged over countless games. Jensen leaves behind a competitive record few can match, but perhaps just as importantly, he leaves behind a network of teammates and rivals who will remember the games they played with and against him.
