Success in this league is hard to quantify. I do not think it is championships. Nor awards. So much in this league comes down to a random number generator that you can not simply say if you win an Ultimus as a player you did great. Of course it is SOME sort of success but it is not really dependent on the skill you show in this league. Also that means players that are sticking with their teams even when they are not on the road to an Ultimus are not successful which I think is simply wrong. Success is meeting the people in this league. Forming personal relationships, friendships and making some enemies along the way for me. Because if we look at the thing next to championships which is easily quantifiable we get Awards and come on, look at them. Awards are broken. The award voting is broken. And again, like championships, awards are also largely dependent on RNG. And where your teams play you of course. Do they play you where you are most helpful? That may not lead to the stats that award voters are looking for. In the end if you want to measure your own success in this league you have to decide what this success means to you. For me it is being together with people I like, have great conversations and give back to the teams that believed enough in me to draft me.
