Meteos
Milestone (age 20)
Won the 2013 Summer NA LCS championship with Cloud9 at age 20 and the 2014 Spring NA LCS with Cloud9, establishing himself as one of the top junglers in North America.
Meteos was introduced to League of Legends by his brother, initially playing ADC before switching to jungle in April 2012. He earned over 3500 wins in high-elo normal games before forming Team Normal Stars with friends. He became friends with WildTurtle, who asked him to sub for Cloud9, eventually joining the team full-time in March 2013.

Question four · where did the leverage come from?
Meteos's leverage provenance
Each non-zero lever gets a best-supported origin, evidence signals, and confidence. Unresolved is the honest default when the biography cannot distinguish self-built, advantage-enabled, earned, external, or mixed.

This is a bounded inference from the current annotations—not a claim about private effort, merit, or the percentage of Meteos's outcome attributable to any origin.
Luck is not a leftover score.Structural luck, Encounter luck, Event luck, Outcome variance can change every arrow in the path. This successful-only dataset cannot observe the near-identical paths that did not break through, so luck stays visible and unscored.
Within Creators / artists, Meteos's starting-advantage total is at the 69th percentile. Separately, their built or converted leverage total is at the 80th percentile. Other T3 profiles average 7.0 / 24 starting advantage and 11.7 / 25 leverage. Similar scores appear in other tiers, so these figures describe positioning—not a cause.

Evidence summary
Meteos was introduced to League of Legends by his brother and developed his skills through extensive normal game play, earning over 3500 wins. He formed Team Normal Stars with friends to compete in Go4LoL tournaments before joining Cloud9 in March 2013 through his connection with WildTurtle. The Cloud9 roster of Hai, Meteos, Balls, Sneaky, and LemonNation proved exceptionally cohesive, winning back-to-back NA LCS titles in 2013-2014.
