LCS Star Gabby Durden Opens Up
In an interview with PC Game Spotlight, LCS star Gabby Durden discusses her determination to move forward and build a successful career in the LCS, despite facing a fair amount of online harassment for deciding to shed her old name. Durden’s journey of self-discovery involved breaking free from the confines of her previous persona, LeTigress, but the transition wasn’t easy, as she’s had to face down a barrage of negativity from fans.
In the interview, Durden talks about her early days as a streamer and the moment when she decided to become LeTigress. She explains that, despite having a “pretty good head on my shoulders,” she “wanted to try my hand at the sexy side of things,” and the persona of LeTigress was the result.
What followed was a fair bit of backlash, along with attempts to undermine the success she was achieving through her gaming career. Despite this, Durden’s resolve only seemed to grow, and she remained steadfast in her decision to move forward with her true self at the forefront of her career.
Durden’s story serves as a stark reminder of the harsh reality of online communities and the toll that a barrage of harassment can take on an individual. It also highlights the courage it takes to step away from a well-known persona and embrace a new identity, even in a world that’s defined by constant self-promotion and self-marketing.
