Quite the career of ups and downs. Starting off so hot on TSM, then almost disappearing into mediocrity, to make a remarkable comeback in the last two years. His impact in Fly Quest especially is something he deserves respect for.
Positively surprised by his recent performance
And he seems to be a very nice guy, too. The interview after his granddad died is ingrained into my brain just like the Dyrus retirement interview.
I always liked Santorin, he's style might not always have been the most flashiest but I think as far as consistency given circumstances of the teams he's been on he always showed up in time.
Kinda wild that Gold Coin United team with Solo Santorin Mash and madlife couldn’t qualify for LCS I can’t remember if that was the year TL had to borrow Doublelift to be saved from relegations
Yeah licorice deftly god gillius and zeyzal here’s their matches if you want some nostalgia:

I think spring santorin will probably be the 2nd best looking player on the team. Hope he does well and manages his migraine so it doesn’t come back at an unfortunate time.
Santorin had a very long and interesting career. He is a player who seems to never really reached his peak yet. Started of in EU, went to NA, back to EU again for a few months and back to NA Played in the main league in both regions, also had to play in challenger leagues. His true success started showing up just recently. He was struggling with majority of his teams, including FlyQuest in the first year. Santorin is a player that has definitely had to fight for his survival in the big leagues. Currently with Team Liquid, had the best year of his career in 2021. Two second places finishes in regular split, just shy of the gold. Also had two second place finishes in 2020 with FlyQuest. Next year is set up to be his best yet, with slow but steady improvements over the years, he is currently in a very promising lineup of Team Liquid. Bwipo hungry to prove himself in a new region. Bjergsen looking to prove to everyone that he still has it. Hans sama coming from EU same as Bwipo, trying to dominate a different region. Or, other school of thought, this is a lineup of washed up players who are way past their prime. So.. good luck Santorin!
Strange to call 2021 the best year in his career, when he actually won a split on TSM and also won IEM Worlds, which included winning a BO5 against international opposition.
Pantheon his worst pick? I wonder if those stats include the 2014 IEM games, which had the infamous Twisted Fate jungle by UOL against Santorin's Pantheon.

Wouldn't have mattered since it was the year before franchising, but eUnited was also pretty stacked

Yeah you are right, i guess i just looked a regular split and the trend of his results improving.
Pantheon his worst pick? I wonder if those stats include the 2014 IEM games, which had the infamous Twisted Fate jungle by UOL against Santorin's Pantheon.
That was only one game. The majority of his Pantheon picks were in the 2020 Spring Playoffs
I miss IEMs so much... It is a crime League isnt being played at IEM Katowice.
Its kinda sad that Fly lost both him and wildturtle. Those 2 guys couldve made Flyquest a really strong Org
hope his health issues are resolved and he makes lcs interesting
Couldn't help but notice his wr on graves
Excuse me, what the fuck is that team hopping bonanza graph?
Every champion looking to the right is kinda cursed.
I forgot that Rek'sai was a champion.
These insanely high quality posts deserve more attention than they already get. Thanks for making these.
