What Is L9?

People in the League of Legends world have heard about the infamous L9 club. This article tells you what you need to know about it, including who its members are.

What Is It?

If you are in the League of Legends community, you must have heard about the L9 club. The term ‘L9’ is short for Low Nine, which is basically a European club of the best League of Legends players who are immensely toxic.

Even though all the players on L9 are considered some of the best League of Legends gamers, everyone knows how toxic they are, especially when things don’t go their way in-game.

How Did It Become Famous?

The L9 club initially started with RatIRL and 0bsess, according to a lot of people. They wanted to gain fame and traction on social media platforms, and they managed to achieve that on Twitter.

At first, the L9 club became immensely famous on Twitter because of the toxic nature of its members. Although they were top-tier LoL players, they would often spam ‘xd’ and question marks, which entertained people.

Raw talent combined with a toxic nature is what defines the members of the L9 club. When it became famous, Ap0calypse and Selfmademan joined, increasing its popularity even more.

Eventually, the L9 club became so famous that the original members started to sell spots for other people to join. Furthermore, some gamers tried to start fake L9 clubs, and nowadays, others include L9 in their tags to show their toxic nature.

Who Are Its Members?

The L9 club started with two members, then two more joined, totaling four. They tried to sell spots on the club, but the original four gamers are the most important ones for the club’s fame. Here they are:

RatIRL

With nearly half a million followers on Twitch, RatIRL is the most famous member of the L9 club. He often played ranked duos with Ap0calypse, and people know him because of his overly emotional reactions, particularly when things don’t go his way in-game.

RatIRL is the primary source of drama in the L9 club, and people consider him to be the most toxic player in the group.

Ap0calypse

Unlike RatIRL, Ap0calypse has stayed out of the social media radar. Although he’s known for his immense talent, you primarily see him playing with others and dominating ranked queues.

Selfmade or Selfmademan

With a carry jungler playstyle, Selfmade took the professional route in streaming and gaming, which is something Ap0calypse never pursued.

He is very successful and jungled for Fnatic, who performed exceptionally well in the Worlds tournament of 2020. Since his playstyle complements his teammates, he may continue playing with Fnatic.

0bsess

Instead of going for social media fame, 0bsess followed the professional route like Selfmade. He is now successful and has been signed by numerous teams, including Misfit Gaming and Gamers Origin.

L9 Today

Nowadays, the original four don’t really talk to each other. The L9 club is seen as a joke in the League of Legends community, with each of its members now focused on their individual gaming careers.

These players were some of the most infamous in LoL history. If you're interested in more LoL legends, you can read about Uzi, a legendary AD carry who many consider the best to ever play the role.
