Today we have a documentary talking about one of the best Solo Queue players of all time in League of Legends. Not an OTP. Not APDO/DOPA. Someone who's gotten to a higher rank in solo queue than anyone else. A mid lane god of Europe and the pride of German League of Legends. This is the story of Forellenlord.

Really excited for this video. A great story about the ORIGINAL Solo Queue god in League of Legends. The Rank 1 player who didn't just stop at rank 1 - Forellenlord. I hope you guys enjoy :)
Also big shoutout to draftbuff for sponsoring this vid. Check 'em out if you wanna get started with Fantasy LoL again! draftbuff.com/league
@Luiz Otavio thanks :)
Really happy to be supporting Gbay and hope you all have fun playing Fantasy this season!
I really hope you can help me out. I was playing league since the Beta and in the early Days got a pretty high Elo Rating (6th EUW at one point). I would love to see the old Ladderrankings like you did at 4:39 . Could you link me Source or something? Old Ingame ID: NoZaLioN
I think this is my favourite video you've posted in quite a while. I know your always looking for feedback so, I think the reason I enjoyed this video more than most is because i genuinely got excited seeing this guys success, when he landed that ori r I loved that (and when he breached 3000 elo too). I can't say exactly why I felt that way but I suppose it indicates that you really told the story well in a way that let me connect and kind of care for this guy. Hope the feedback helps.
You bring back names and memories like no other. Without this vid I would have nether thought about Forellenlord again in my life
As a person who started playing league season 5, having documentaries like these about the history of the players and the game itself gives me a better appreciation for them. You're doing important work, Gbay!
Edit: Sheeeeesh thanks for the likes!
How could u start so late? (I quit in s 10 and started in the end of s1.) I wouldn t want to have this Game to pick up so late bc of all the Champs etc. And lets Not Talk about the community holy is That a Bad Community canˋt See me Comeback anytime soon. Wildrift is was More Fun and fast pace while i dont have to Play on pc ( Huge handheld Fan here)
@@Vantasiaz0ckt My friends were trying to get me to play it for years but I never got around to it. 2015 I was graduating college so I had a lot of time. I actually think I got into it at a pretty good time because season 5 was when they did that huge visual update and added new items. The community can be really toxic for sure but I've been lucky to have really wholesome friends and even luckier to have experience wholesome moments with members of the community. It's definitely a game I will be playing for a long time to come. Glad you found another game you like though :D.
@@ilvi1 hey same to you i really liked league i mean i played it for 8 years. But sometimes you gotta let a game die (for you) and move on to something you enjoy more for me That was Wildrift (which is basicly the Same game but more casual). Hope you will enjoy league for a long time who knows maybe you can enjoy in for longer than me. Wish you all the best with the Game and Stay positive.👍🏼
@Benjamin Whelan Dope, man!
Agreed
WORST TOP NA was Dyrus' S2 EUW account if I remember correctly. Nutty he had 2600 ELO playing on 100-120 ping lol
U speak as you need ping to play Darius, pew pew pew pew boom kill
also back then ngl sht was hella ez to get like 2,3k+
@@nikolygtx8848 i can smell the hardstuck
When i started playing lol, i play in euw because a friend of mine who live in spain told me to play it so i downloaded make the acc and playing in euw from south america with 180ms i that time i didnt know what the hell was ping i just smash rigth click on everything what moves haha.
My main champ was ashe and my build.
Boots/infinity edgex3 and deaths dancex2..in that times you can stack passives.
I played for like a month playing against bots for " farm IP " to buy runes before go to normal, i was playing this as some kind of RPG farming IP tp buy champs and runes.
That was back then in 2010.u
@@pak3ton death dance wasn't in the game unill like 2015. maybe it was blood thirster? back then, i used to stack 3 of them on ad champ, lol
And then you have "Kerp", the player you will see at the 2nd spot throughout every screenshot here, the second best soloQ player and toplaner for Forellenlords team. Who played the game with a trackball mouse.
I noticed him a lot as well! He was always around FLord, and was even the second half of the 3k elo shockwave with his Equalizer. I wish Gbay had mentioned it.
Kerp actually came back to the LCS a few times aswell, even as a midlaner if i remember correctly.
wait did he really play with a trackball? that is actually more impressive than faker winning 3 worlds
@@hatakenewt348 Yeah, played with a cheap trackball he found in a sales bin
@@Jordidwaard He did, played for Alternate back when they were in the EU LCS, and actually had some pretty good results as a midlaner.
Gbays elo at doing great videos is beyond 10000
Thanks my man I really appreciate that more than I can express in words :)
@@gbay99 It's well deserved!
Truuuue a real legend 💯
I think you mean "it's over 9000!!!"
I think Dota 2 has some ppl reaching 11k elo now. IDK if its the same format as league tho.
Fuck me I'm getting old, I can say I was watching the 3000 ELO shockwave when it happened.
Me too man, me too. Fuck I'm old
man i miss the first 3-4 seasons so much. the game changed too much after then, those were just some of the most fun times ever
@@mattiabarone9078 back when I play lol with me shitty pc is the best
Remember when season 4 was the "biggest change" back then...
So that's where the 3k elo shockwave meme came from. I entered this game for the first time on season 3, so I had no idea. Thank you gbay for the history lesson.
the knowledge gained 9 years later xD
fr
The 3k elo Shockwave is one of my favorite lol esports memorys. Especially since I am German as well
its funny tho how his just a random now in the soloq ladder, back then people were shit at the game so getting rank 1 isnt that impressive compared to getting rank 1 right now where everyone is 100x more skilled
@@shadowtale123 There's an argument to be had here where to get rank 1 now where most of the game is known well, it's all about execution and methodical strategies / meta abusing
Back then when the game was new, to be rank 1 you had to be innovative, you had to experiment and try find strats and builds that nobody else knew, there was no youtube guides going over every mechanic in the game, you had to make the effort to learn and research yourself
So different skills, getting rank 1 is impressive at any time period
@@TexasRedOutlaw all about exuction methodical strategies / meta abusing LMFAO ur obviously a pisslow nobody im a grandmaster player and let me tell u that me personally playing since season 1 the players have gotten wayyy better, for example noone used to freeze lanes or knew wave management expect for masters + now everyone even in gold knows the basics, which is literally everything in this game, the basics> perfect cs> perfect macro> perfect laning> perfect wave management which if u can do any of them ull reach challenger in a heart beat, only problem is its easier said then done
@@shadowtale123 You completely missed my point.
'It's easier said then done' is exactly what I meant by execution being more important now than earlier seasons, you completely agreed with part of my point without even realising it because you were so busy stroking your own ego.
If you can't even be bothered to properly read a comment don't reply to one so arrogantly, you can be a grandmaster in league and still be a nobody, you are a perfect example, be more humble.
@@shadowtale123 OCE grandmaster calling people randoms LMFAOOOOOOOO
That 3k elo shockwave is an insanely proud moment for EU in general, it was magnificant
He started playing league again like a year ago and is streaming it on twitch. Hes not the best anymore but still entertaining. (Dia1-master)
I recently ran into forrellenlord towards the end of season 10 he had 2k+ games still grinding. Sadly i was the only person in the game who knew of him. Appreciate the content you do so younger players can know of leagues early season legends.
@@swordoftheoccult4427 euw.op.gg/summoner/userName=forellenlord
Not him
@@Zuuwu1 yes it is
I also ran into him in D4. We are both D2 now but I think he made it to D1 at one point. Was fun playing with him although we lost. I also ran into Entenzwerg at D3 or something. Really funny to meet these old soloq legends while I was a Gold nab at that time. And btw the op.gg is him. He even streamed on it
Also run into him when he started playing again. He was plat in the first week of play after he didn't play in ages cause of his studies (chatted a bit afterwards with him). He is actually streaming quite a bit at the moment and already D1 with 100LP at this moment
He was one of my favorite players in my first season following esports. That 0-2 comeback culminating in the 3k shockwave sold me on how hype esports could be. My favorite esports play hands down.
No fucking way lmao. A friend of mine sometimes plays with him still, I think he streams sometimes? Really cool doc though, didn't expect this one.
Its interesting to know what is he doing now. And most importantly what's his rank in soloq right now? c:
@@magiryagan1124 @Magir Yagan Last time I personally checked it was mid-Diamond I think, but that was a few months ago. I don't have direct contact to him but Im sure his profile is available to view somewhere!
@@VentiLator7 thanks. Sometimes I want someone to take interviews with the legends of the game's past.
He is diamond 2 right now according to LOLPros.GG lolpros.gg/player/forellenlord/
Remember him as the stand-in for Copenhagen Wolves in the old squad of: Godbro, Svenskeren, Forellenlord(While Bjergsen turned 17) Rekkles(on loan from Fnatic) and Unlimited - Later changed to the roster: Neegodbro, Svenskeren, Bjergsen, TheTess and Deficio...remember that Moscow 5 team back then..miss that playstyle.
ForellenLord is back to streaming btw. I think he is around D1 :)
lol nub. /s
what name of his channel ?
@@loudarck2402 www.twitch.tv/forellenlord
*he is d2 at the moment
go up
Really loving these documentaries, keep up the good work dude, all the love
Great content again, really got me emotional and nostalgic about the game.I was seeing ForellenLord and Kerp a lot back then but never knew their line of story.Hope you also put other forgotten players into spotlight in the future, love your works!
Oh my god, Araneae! That brings back memories, he was so lovable back in the day!
I remember there was one time he came in and kissed the casters in the cheek and one of them said "That gave me a chubby".
So in his climb to 3k he had a 61% winrate?!?!? Insane.
Hey man, just wanna let you know I've been following you for a while and I've taken a ton of inspiration from your documentary style videos and made my own about the MENA esports scene - and it garnered a lot of interest (nearing 20k views on Facebook). So I just wanna thank you for being a source of inspiration, and keep it up!
Loving it! Each one of your documentaries is a masterpiece. Can't wait for the next one.
Man I used to watch LoL religiously back in the early days, I remember the 3000 elo shockwave as I watched it live. Good times man, good times.
Another high quality documentation from GBay, thanks for the video and all the best for 2021!
I’m so glad you did this story, with how many stories I’ve heard bout Bergson, faker, apto. I played league for years with my friends but never heard of forrelon. Really great story and very well made. It’s sad to see some people didn’t get the spotlight they deserved and could have became much bigger if things worked out a little better for them.
I remember ForellenLord as well, with his occasional +2 wins. Every time I see one of those little history vids, it brings nostalgia. Thanks, man.
Me: "I know who is going to talk about we all know Magifelix"
Gbay: "ForellenLord"
Me : "wah"
who the f is Magifelix?
@@ereder1476 Pretty decent EU player
@@ereder1476 Used to be rank 1 EU player. Also known and hated for breaking the Soloqueue ladder for top Challenger players. I can't remember the exact LP difference between him and the rank 2 player, but it was over 200 LP.
@@HappyGick i don't have any memory of the guy back in s2. was he doing it in modern league after the stoped using elo?
@@ereder1476 The guy's from modern League. In fact, that story is from this year I think (2020).
Was amazing to see that qualifying series in person. Alternate were also part of the 4 way tie for second place that summer so not a bad showing for a team's first split!
I love these videos. Even though I stopped playing League regularly a long time ago I keep binge watching these documentaries. Loving the format, I hope more people appreciate it too!
10:25 a true gamer
He's the Arch Virgin
AW MAN! FINALLY SOME RESPECT FOR THE 3000ELO!
I was such a huge fan of his back then, and when he was in the EU LCS i wqs so hyped
a really good video, i learn so much about the league community from these videos since i only got into league like 3 years ago. Keep it up Gbay, making the league community so much better
Just to say I definately like the way you've taken your channel Gbay, producing quality content on the history of league of legends, I've seen plenty of youtubers of the old days of league, who simply fall into the formula of posting another meme video or twitch highlights, and you see their viewership fall off slowly but surely.
With these videos you have found a niche, and given something to the community they may not have seen before, as well as doing the noble task of documenting the Esport's history. Your voice definately suits this type of informative video and I hope you continue!
Wow, I started playing in season 4 and knew about the 3k elo shockwave but never knew the entire story of what that match meant or who the man behind it was. Great video.
I didn't follow pro play a lot back then but I remember the 3K shockwave happening pretty clearly.
Thank you for telling his story, makes the memory of that play all the sweeter.
That was an awesome episode Gbay!
Like the length of this video more then some of the previous ones. Much easier watch for me since I work a lot and am busy. Great video!! Keep it up!!
You really are pumping out great videos over and over in a short time. I am a long time follower and this is definitely your peak. Keep'em coming.
"I don't have a girlfriend, but even if I did, she's second place to league." A real gamer.
Haha forreal what a legend.
Amazing video as always Gbay! I quit league 5 years ago but still watch all your videos religiously
Gbay, your hard work is showing off! Keep up the amazing content!
11:29
Every time I see this picture I can't help but see him as the antagonist for some kind of anime. He fits it so damn well.
I'm loving the content you're putting out. Such high quality videos.
Fantastic video Gbay. I joined League a little into season 3 so i didn't know a lot of this history.
What a great documentary, thank you for your hard work Gbay!!!
The 3000 Elo shockwave... I remember watching that live.
It was beautiful.
Oh god, you know it was a bad year when you feel uncomfortable seeing people hugging
I knew after the intro who this video was going to be about. Forellenlord was THE soloQ star back then. Really sad that he could not transfer this ability to the pro scene for a longer time.
Thank you Gbay :) great video as always!
God I love these videos so much gbay. I wish you a happy new year tomorrow. May 2021 bring a lot more of these videos!
I normally do not comment on TH-cam but here I have to.
I am so glad you made this awesome documentary! Forellenlord is a true legend for me and I was a huge fan of Team Alternate.
Thank you a lot for making this and similar videos!
Current lol media is forgetting so many legends, in my opinion!
Thanks gbay. Good content!!
Beautiful video, thank you gbay.
i cannot stress enough how good this channel is amazing work again
When dyrus first came into the scene he was such a chad I always forget
I remember watching the 3000 elo shockwave live! I really miss some of the 'old guard' of League of Legends -- a simpler time in the game's history.
But topping all of that is hearing the talent of Deman casting League games. I've watched a lot of esports and I must say he was the best out of any caster from any game and we were truly blessed to have him. I still secretly hope that he'll come back to cast Worlds one of these years.
Sometimes you just do something because you want to do it. I feel the same way sometimes.
Ahh, I remember seeing that 3k elo shockwave live.. This brought back memories, great vid!
OMG I met Sologesang (mentioned at 8:27) in high elo TFT a bunch some time ago, no idea he used to be rank 2 EUW in League too. As someone who started with League in Season 3 I get to pick up a lot of history from these Season 1 and 2 vids, awesome stuff
Great video about the history of league as always mate!
More straight up fire content from GBay. You rock dude. Thanks
So much material from season 3 - old client, how everything is displayed - is nostalgic to me. Idk is it hard to find screenshots like that, but I like the fact that You did it
Man playing this game since open beta I love your videos so much. No1 from my s1/s2 times plays anymore so I dont have anyone to share this memories with really so I enjoy there videos even more because of that :)
Keep it up! :D
I'm a League player and e-sports watcher since the Season 1 World Championship but I had completely forgotten about that player - until I saw that "Alternate"-shirt. Great work as always, Gbay, keep it up !
hey man love thes docs but i really miss u playing the game 2. hoping u see this and other people share this sentiment. i really enjoyed when you were just constantly trying to get better at the game and it inspired me to get better and to be better :)
I think he quit due to carpel tunnel.
Thank you, it was enjoyable. Loved the ATN team, loved the meta at that time, and Flord's skill with "classic" mids like Ahri/Ori/Kata. Hope he's doing well.
Man watching these videos makes me so nostalgic for the old days of league. It’s weird to think how many current players never even played on the old map or game modes. Probably rose tinted memories but I had a lot more fun back then, but maybe that’s just because I was in high school and didn’t have as much other stuff to do.
Bro sometimes I remember the 3k elo shockkwave and just go back to watch it, truely incredible.
Amazing video Gbay loved it.
I remember this in season 2. Always saw him at the top in the client soloq ladder. Also Moscow 5 was the highest in 5v5 team ladder. Dominion was popular back then. And ARAM just came out or so. Used to play coop vs bots and custom vs bots to farm ip for runes. Champions used to come out every patch. Better nerf Irelia. Nostalgia :)🤔👍
Bruh the ip grind for runes and rune pages! I miss the old league it was so fun back then.
Your videos always inspire me thanks gbay
Happy holidays gbay!
I didn't start league until season 8 even casually, and didnt play regularly until season 9. Fantastic doc, had no idea this guy existed!
"+10 win, -10 loss"
What is this. Child's play?
The correct elo rating should be
"+9 Win, -23 Loss"
How, HOW! Did you make me tear up watching a video about someone I have never heard of? Gbay, you are grossly underrated. Sure, I like and comment on videos on enjoy, but never share, except for videos like yours. The world of LoL needs to know what you are creating. We need this kind of content so badly. Thank you player.
Wow what a story.. i love your documentary type vids!!
Thank you for this nostalgia trip down to memory lane
Going to guess its either Tyler1, HULKSMASH1337, BUZZLIGHTYEAR99 or S8 IS SO FUN

Another masterpiece.
I love these videos so much
Leaving a comment for the algorithm. Outstanding job, my man, just as always. Keep it up.
Was waiting for you to show the 3000 Elo shockwave. Was not disappointed!
Good video! I only missed Deman saying "3000 elo shockwave!"
I think you should have included that.
As a new - ish player coming from preseason 7, I love seeing these tales of legends from the infantile era of LoL.
Thank you, as always, Gbay99, for digging these stories up and packaging them up in an entertaining manner.
damn you really missed out
Great Work Gbay
Great video and story telling!
Just to remember you about the ATN Forellenlord Montage, always Goosebumps.
Love your vids! Keep it up
this channel is gold, please never leave yt
I can't put into words how much I love these videos, no joke, it's always a highlight when another one drops. Thank you very much for doing these videos!!! And the editing always seems so good to me! Happy New year, Gbay🎉
Loving all of ur vids
Good god I remember when Forellenlord going to LCS in Europe for a while... oh boy I wish it had turned out better for him v.v he was a cool guy
First video i watch in the new year is a Gbay99 video... Just like the good ole days :')
6:57 Tiridus name brings back so many memories
Great video and I love your content. You don't have to massively undercut Apdo to build up the subject of your video though.
Thanks for the video Gbay, it was really awesome and well put/explained.
Would appreciate if you had his twitch or something in the description of the video since the guy (forellen lord) streams. putting the infamous dopa there doesn't serve any meaning to what was being discussed in the video.
Gbay99, been playing this game off and on for 9 years, all the ups and downs (plz roit bring back dom) and thank you for being the historian of this game.
Im 17 now, i started playing league at like 8-9 years old, im diamond on euw and im thanful for gbay and exil for these documentaries, they help me learn more about the game i play for almost a decade
I'm so sorry, you poor innocent youth.
@@vindifference true, im depressed now hehe
I actually remember hanging out on some stream and breaking news to chat that ForellenLord has gotten 3k elo. This video brought back some memories
Remembering that shockwave gave me chills. I was so happy
Not sure why but I've actually been waiting for the day gbay covered this
Not only would a video about dopa be fitting after this wonderful video but a video about MagiFelix, too. I personally would say that these are the three big soloQ kings we have.
Just found ur documentarys. Playing since beta. Its just nostalgia for me . Thank You !
