Popular League of Legends streamer Dantes has revealed that he was close to leaving full-time streaming before an unexpected opportunity with fellow creator Jynxzi changed his career path. In a recent post on X, Dantes shared that he had struggled with declining motivation and results for years. After seven years of streaming, he was ready to focus on YouTube instead. However, a few days later, Jynxzi asked him to become his League of Legends coach, giving him a new reason to continue creating content.
Streamer Dantes says Jynxzi collaboration helped revive his streaming career
Dantes explained that around three months ago, he seriously considered quitting full-time streaming. He said that his career had been getting worse month after month for nearly three years, and he started questioning whether streaming was still the best use of his time.
As he was getting older and had become a husband, Dantes said he began thinking more about his future. He also mentioned that he hopes to become a father someday, which made him want to spend his time on things that gave him better results.
Dantes had a conversation with his wife, Laura, and told her that he wanted to reduce his streaming hours and put more effort into making YouTube videos.
He believed that creating videos would give him a better chance of growing his career.
However, Laura disagreed with his decision. She told him that the main thing missing from his streams was the passion and motivation he had when he first started. She encouraged him to try harder, but Dantes said he had already made up his mind.
Everything changed just a few days later when Jynxzi started playing League of Legends and asked Dantes if he would coach him.

Dantes said that life has felt completely different since that moment. For the first time in a long while, he feels happy, motivated, and satisfied at the same time.
The streamer explained that he recently took a proper vacation with his wife. When he returned, he noticed something important, he was no longer stressed about streaming less than before. That helped him realize how much his mindset had changed.
Dantes also opened up about the hardest part of his struggle. He said that the most painful thing was not hearing people say that he had fallen off or would never reach his previous success again. Instead, he started to believe those negative comments himself.
He thanked his wife Laura, Jynxzi, his family, friends, and supporters for helping him believe in himself again. He said their support helped him become a better version of himself and create better content.
The story of Dantes teaches us that a single chance occurrence may totally transform the path of a creator. On the verge of abandoning the platform, his collaboration with Jynxzi provided him with a fresh direction and drive. Even though he does not know where things will lead him in the future, Dantes claims to be enthusiastic about the upcoming creations.
