Regardless of his behaviour, he was, and will probably remain, the best midlaner who happened to play this game. An innovator ( watching alex ichs attempt to copy his fizz), that arose out of nothing and did in a matter of days something which others wouldnt be able to achieve in a year - climbing the ladder by stomping every famous midlaner and reaching the very top of it with until now most impressive winrates/plays.
One of the very best Players, if not the very best, sacrificed under the pressure of the community.
