Ever wanted to watch Team SoloMid’s Reginald, Bjergsen, Parth and Hauntzer jump out of a plane? After watching their run at the League Of Legends World Championship this year, that’s all some NA fans have been dreaming about. Red Bull just released the first video from their new series “Away From Keyboard” that puts esports pros in situations they wouldn’t expect.
You’ll know it’s a Red Bull production because they can’t go two seconds without plugging their brand. Interviewees are holding Red Bulls and the logo is in nearly every shot. I know you are spending a lot of money for these glorified ads, but maybe tone down the “drink Red Bull and be extreme” mentality when producing future esports videos.
In the five years I’ve seen Reginald and his team compete in League Of Legends , I don’t think I’ve ever seen him as scared as when he jumped out of that plane. Bjergsen has been pretty open about feeling down after losing at Worlds and I bet skydiving was great for him. Nothing makes you forget the trivial, nonessential parts of life like a death-defying experience.
Feeling good and productive recently. First couple weeks after World's I barely got out of bed but I'm happy with my life as it is atm _

Future installments will have Super Smash Bros. pro Mang0, streamer StrifeCr0 and other members of Cloud9 and TSM go up against their fears. The rest of the episodes will be released twice a week through December.
