UK streamer Ali “Gross Gore” Larsen has been promoted to Master Tier in League of Legends.
The YouTuber was previously in Mastier for a short time last year, but fell back down to Diamond, where he skirted around the tail end of 2016.
He won three out of four of his placement matches this evening to make it back to Mastier Tier.
Thank you guys so much!
