This week’s Player Spotlight goes to the captain of team Timechasers:

Name, Surname: Andrius Levinskas

Age: 22

Date of Birth: 15th of July 1997

Nationality: Lithuanian

The first nickname that you had: Andrykasssss.

How did you come up with your current nickname: Wanted a shorter name, to look more “solid”, so, I looked at my RuneScape account AskewRush (because g maulers rush in an askew line!) and just cut it in half. The need for a simple, short name came from looking up to godlike Korean LoL players like Faker, Crown, etc.
