Twitch streamer and League of Legends analyst LS suddenly deactivated both his Twitter and Instagram. The streamer went totally offline after releasing a cryptic message on his Instagram story that left fans worried.

Nick ‘LS’ De Cesare is one of the biggest names in League of Legends. His co-streams of pro play and analytical content are highly influential within the scene, and he regularly pulls in thousands of viewers for whatever he streams.

He also had a short stint as a professional caster on the English LCK broadcast as well as a coaching gig for Cloud9’s LCS team before moving back to streaming full-time, now signed with FlyQuest. LS is a busy man as someone who’s been heavily involved in the LoL scene for years.

However, he’s also had to take some mental health breaks in the past and has been open about his struggles with depression. Fans of LS are worried about his health after he suddenly deactivated his social media accounts.

LS provides updates after worries about his health

A cryptic message on his Instagram story has left fans of his worried for his health, worries that have only been exacerbated by the subsequent deactivation of many of his social media accounts.

LS’ Instagram story was a black screen with the audio, “I genuinely wish things could be different.” This left Twitter users in a frenzy to make sure the streamer is alright.

On June 5, LS provided an update about his health through a message shared by his manager, Daniel ‘Quest’ Kwon. The streamer revealed that he became overwhelmed with stress because of a combination of “family-related news happening so close together, some IRL curveballs, and trying to manage so many things to make sure these next few months for some bootcampers/streamers/content/etc go well for so many people.”

“I deactivated some accounts to reduce noise/stress for a bit while I work on some things,” he added.

“I hope to be able to talk about everything a bit more once it’s all water under the bridge. But for now, it’s most important I make sure everything is ready and smooth for summer and that all bootcampers arriving have everything they need.”

LS has been fairly open about the stresses of his job and the strain it has on his mental health and was particularly candid about it when speaking with Dr. K a few years ago.
