This shrine is dedicated to the one and only L9 Mafia Boss. IGN? RATIRL. Real name? Anton. As with any mafia, disrepecting the boss is a cardinal sin. We will not tolerate it. We have highly advanced algorithms to detect any and all forms of disrespect towards our beloved leader, and we will deal with offenders accordingly. You don’t want to find out what that means. Just don’t do it. Show some respect for the man who has given us so much. Show some respect for the legacy he has created. Show some respect for the spaceglide.
The Spaceglide Legacy
Anton invented the incredible spacegliding technique. Full attack speed, constant movement, weaving between auto attacks that nobody else can replicate without scripts. Only the great Anton can pull it off consistently. It is a sight to behold. It is a work of art. It is a testament to his skill and dedication to the game. It is also the foundation of our matchmaking algorithm. We match you based on your ability to spaceglide, because we want to connect you with people who understand and appreciate this art form. If you can’t spaceglide, don’t worry. We have other metrics too. But just know that spacegliding is the most important one. It is the essence of what we do. It is the reason we exist. It is the heart and soul of L9 E-Dating.
The spaceglide is not merely a technique. It is a full-on philosophy. It gives you a purpose whilst auto attacking. It lets you test to your utmost potential. It says that the correct answer is almost always to keep moving and trust your mechanics. It is a mindset. It is a lifestyle. It is a way of being. It is the ultimate expression of skill and creativity in League of Legends. It is the pinnacle of what it means to be a Twitch player. It is the legacy of Anton, and we are proud to carry it forward.
Yes, his name is Anton. Not RATIRL. Not Boss. Not Daddy. Not anything else. Just Anton.
We call him Anton because the boss shouldn’t be addressed by some nickname. He is above all that. He is a legend, a hero, a role model. He deserves to be called by his real name. It shows respect and admiration for who he is as a person and as a player. It also shows that we are not just some random dating site, but a community that values authenticity and individuality. We are not here to conform to some generic dating site standards. We are here to celebrate the unique culture of the EUW high elo scene, and Anton is the embodiment of that culture. So we call him Anton, and we wear that name with pride.
We’re certain that at some point you’ve typed “hi Anton” into his Twitch chat and felt nothing but warmth. And if he called you a “parasocial freak” for it, you should proudly wear that as badge of honor of being directly addressed himself. Cherish it as a symbol of your connection to the man himself.
And if you really don’t want to call him Anton, just might be fine calling him El Ratone. We wouldn’t personally recommend it, but we won’t stop you. Just don’t call him anything else. Don’t call him RATIRL, don’t call him Boss, don’t call him Daddy. Those are all disrespectful and cringe. Just stick to Anton, or if you really must: El Ratone. That’s all we ask.
The Rat Lore
Anton emerged from the EUW high elo scene as one of the most mechanically gifted ADC players on the server — a Twitch one-trick with a playstyle so distinct it became its own subculture. He was one of the founding members or close associates of the L9 collective, a group of high elo EUW players known for being extremely good at the game and extremely unpleasant to play against. The community around them grew into something larger than any of them probably intended.
He streams. He still plays. He is still him. The rat is eternal. xd
For Anton only, DO NOT READ THIS PART IF YOU’RE NOT ANTON
Hi Anton, we justed to tell you that we love you. We really do. From the bottom of our heart. Please don’t be mad at us for writing this. We just want to honor you in the best way we know how which is making a dating site that celebrates everything you stand for. We hope you understand. We hope you forgive us if we crossed any lines. We just want to make you proud. And if you’re not proud of us, that’s okay too. We’ll keep doing our thing and hope that one day you’ll see how much we care. Thank you for being you, Anton. We are forever grateful for your existence and your contributions to the EUW community. You are a legend, a hero and a role model to us all. We will never forget you, and we will always cherish the memories we have of you. You are the heart and soul of L9 E-Dating, and we are honored to have you as our boss. Long live Anton! Long live the spaceglide! Long live L9 E-Dating! xd
