Twitch Streamer Caedrel May Quit League of Legends Streaming

Marc Robert “Caedrel” Lamont, one of the most-watched English-language League of Legends streamers on Twitch, has said he is thinking about when to stop streaming. In a recent stream, he suggested the release of a new version of the game could decide what he does next.

What Caedrel said about retiring from streaming

Caedrel, who has around 1.8 million followers on Twitch, said he has thought about the question a lot. He particularly mentioned that the upcoming “League of Legends overhaul” could be a major turning point for his career.

His plan is to play and watch the new game throughout its first year. If it turns out to be boring by the end of next year, he said he might move toward being a “variety streamer,” meaning someone who plays many different games instead of focusing on one.

He stressed that he still enjoys League as it is now. His concern is that sequels can be risky. “If it goes down well and everyone likes it and I like it, then all good,” he said, but he is unsure how the new version will land.

Caedrel also explained why he is bringing this up now, when he had not done so earlier in his career. He said he is currently enjoying MMOs (massive multiplayer online games) and games he plays off-stream, and that he has a good group of friends to play them with, which makes those games more appealing.

The comments began with a remark about retirement itself. Caedrel said that if he left streaming, he would likely stop watching Twitch altogether.

Caedrel opens up about streaming burnout and taking a break

Caedrel’s streaming retirement comment came a few days after another stream in which he spoke about how long he expects to keep going. Asked how many more times he would coach at Worlds, the League of Legends World Championship, he said there will be a day he stops, but he does not know when and does not think it is soon.

He admitted he sometimes gets burned out and wants to take around two months away but also mentioned that it is hard to do as a streamer and that he is “too paranoid” to step away that long. He plans to take about four weeks off after Worlds instead.

The LoL star also said he could afford to retire for the rest of his life but questioned what the point would be. He described League, or something connected to it, as the thing that has always worked for him and as his purpose in life. Even if he traveled or learned something new after quitting, Caedrel asked what he would do with the next 50 years.

Caedrel’s history as a League of Legends pro, caster and coach

• Pro player (2015–2020): Caedrel played mostly mid lane and jungle for teams including H2k-Gaming, Ninjas in Pyjamas and Excel Esports in the LEC, the top European league. He retired from competitive play after the 2020 season.
• Caster and analyst (2021–2023): He worked as broadcast talent for the LEC and cast major events, including the 2022 Worlds final. He stepped back from full-time casting in late 2023, citing exhaustion from doing both casting and streaming, effects on his personal life, and higher earnings from streaming. He still appears occasionally as a guest.
• Streaming (2023–present): Caedrel runs one of the top English-language League channels on Twitch. He is known for co-streams, where he watches and comments on live esports broadcasts, of the LCK, LEC and LPL as well as international events like MSI and Worlds. He also does analysis and reaction content. His peak viewership has passed 400,000, including during Worlds finals, and he ranked among the most-watched streamers during Worlds 2026.
• Other work: He spent a short period as a content creator with Fnatic in 2024 and parted ways with the organization late that year. He founded and coached Los Ratones from 2024 to early 2026. The team won multiple NLC and EMEA Masters titles before disbanding after missing out on LEC promotion. He has also been involved in the League Awards alongside Sjokz.

For now, Caedrel has no confirmed plans to quit streaming or leave League of Legends. However, his comments suggest he is thinking more seriously about his future and what he wants to do next. Much will depend on how the new version of League performs and whether he still enjoys playing it. Until then, fans can expect him to continue streaming and covering the game as usual.
