Half-Filipino Professional League of Legends Player to Meet with PH Fans
Kristoffer Albao Lund “P1noy” Pedersen, Attack Damage (AD) Carry for European League Challenger Series (LCS) competitive team Gambit Gaming and professional League of Legends (LoL) player, will be meeting with Filipino fans tomorrow, Thursday, April 30, 2015, at The Lounge in Quezon City, Metro Manila.
Formerly known in-game as “Krislund”, the 18-year-old half-Danish, half-Filipino player replaced Genja for the LCS Spring Promotional in Los Angeles. Krislund changed his in-game name to P1noy after being signed onto Gambit.
P1noy is a Filipino on his mother’s side and was born and raised in Denmark. The young AD Carry served on similar roles for Tricked eSport and Reason Gaming before moving on to Gambit.
Rumble Royale, the largest LoL Facebook community in the country, together with Wargods Gaming Cafe will be hosting the event.
In a message to his fans, P1noy thanked the staunch support of Filipino League of Legends players, saying that he cannot wait to meet and greet his fellow summoners here in the Philippines.
P1noy is known as one of the youngest professional eSports players currently in the LCS. His superb Graves and Kalista play has earned him recognition as one of the most aggressive AD Carries in Europe.
P1noy helped Gambit Gaming secure their victory at IEM Cologne. Gambit Gaming would later finish in 5th-6th place at the 2015 EU LCS Spring Playoffs.
In a past interview, P1noy said that he changed his in-game name to represent his roots. P1noy is currently in the country for a family vacation as the EU LCS scene gears up for the 2015 Summer Split.
