DRIVE: Contractz
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- In his rookie year as Cloud9's new jungler, Contractz had a debut year most players dreamed of-dominating the LCS in his first split, making it to the Finals, and capping off the year with a close Quarterfinals match versus Team WE at Worlds 2017.
Experiencing the highest of highs so early on didn't prepare him for the lowest of lows when Contractz joined Golden Guardians the next year. Since then, he's tried to find his path back to the peak. Reflecting on his motivations in his family and career, Contractz, on a resurgent CLG, has his eyes set on reaching the top again.
Tune in this Sunday, August 21 to watch Contractz and CLG face off against Cloud9 in the LCS Playoffs starting at 1PM PT/4PM ET:

Respect to his mom for working through the pain and trying to love her family despite her failures. I hope their relationship only strengthens over time. Can't imagine what it would be like losing your husband to a drunk driver
Going back to this after nrg winning finals fills me with joy he finally did it
Welp, looks like I'm also a contractz / CLG fan now! Seriously though this series is amazing, please do more of it!
I miss him being on Cloud9. FeelsStrongMan
Genuinely this made me cry lmao. What great editing, music choice and story. To think a name I’ve watched all these years had this story behind him. Fan for life. Of Contractz and his mom!
2-0 g2 , and make it quaterfinals !!! GOAT EL CONTRATO
This guy is a champion now ❤ congratulations Contractz!!!
Returned to this video after he won his first split with NRG!
Thanks for sharing Juan - heart wrenching story. That EG comeback is etched in my brain, was so hype made LCS great to watch. Rooting for you guys and Flyquest this playoffs. See you at worlds.
Huge props to the LCS for highlighting Juan and allowing his family to really tell their story. It took courage from all involved to shine such a beautiful light on the struggles and the triumphs they went through.
Growing up, I watched my mom fight the same battles. Now as a parent myself, it's deeply heartening to see Ms. Contractz in front of the camera here for her son - reliving an ugly part of her life for all the Internet so she can lift him up and celebrate what he's built through his league career.
This series always delivers. I hope we get more content like this. It's so worth diving into the more meaningful and significant elements of the players' lives and stories.
Anytime Contractz joins a team they've immediately become one of my favs to watch. He plays on a knife's edge and, even when it doesn't work out, it's always a blast to see his effect on the game. Die hard C9 fan but I'll be cheering for CLG against everyone else.
I missed this series!! So glad it's back.
This was amazing. This is the sort of thing that gets people invested into LCS and care about the players they're watching. Was already rooting for CLG (even as a TSM fan haha) but now I want to see them do even better.
I am so happy for this man and his family. Now do us proud at worlds!
So happy for Contractz. I always thought he was one of the better jugglers to come from NA. It doesn't hurt that I basically have seen this kid grow up in the scene. From solo q games with bjerg, to C9A to playing on the main roster in the finals and at worlds. It'd be nice to add NA LCS Champion to that
I'm a huge Contractz fan now.
This had me crying. A lot. I'm glad Contractz & his mom are on good terms & he's finding success.
I remember when contractz came into 100t and being like hell yeah who's this kid, and then watching him absolutely smash teams and other junglers I was sad when we moved on from him but was super excited that he was able to get another shot, really glad he is talking about all of this and opening up. This is a really awesome video!
he was better in his debut in c9 i believe cuz he had an actual good team around him.
good guy jizuke making sure juan is ok after that eg game
I barely ever comment at on YT but I've been following the LCS for many years and this is by far the best content out of any split so keep it up! This is the type of stuff that will make LCS stand out vs the LEC
Wow this made me cry. Seriously all the props to the team behind this. So tastefully edited and what a beautiful way to tell this tough real story.
What a great piece. A real glimpse into a player I had not thought about much in the past. Rooting for CLG now this weekend.
I've missed this series a lot!
EL CONTRACTO. Love you on CLG hope it’s your home for a long time
^ and the faithful shall be rewarded with longtime clg contractz
Glad to see the return of Drive. Sorely needed for the LCS
Wow - they did such a great job handling this sensitively. Thank you for telling us this story.
This was great, as an OG S3 C9 fan I love seeing Contracts do well in LCS. The series between 4th and 5th was insane.
I doubt it will happen but I would love C9, CLG, and EG going to worlds.
I think Contractz was Dardoch's spiritual successor in a way: brash playstyle, energetic, and super high ego early on. But whereas Dardoch was never able to fully grow past that, Contractz seems to have done it, and we're seeing the fruits of that growth.
Caught this on the FLY TL vod but came over just to like it. Drive is some of the best content NA has ever produced
Always happy when Contractz is playing well. In a performance based industry, he's one of those guys I root for even when the performance isn't lining up. Glad he's been killing it lately
I really liked contractz ever since I've seen him on 100T. Such a fun jungler to watch
You can’t help but to root for the guy. Thanks for sharing your story with us Juan 🙏
Thank you for sharing, Contractz! That was a very touching story. Hope you make it deep into the playoffs and hopefully make worlds!
Hello, old me, he did it!!!! (a year later, sure, but he fucking did it)
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING BACK DRIVE
Contractz will always be a part of the C9 family to me.
Congrats to Juan/Contractz. First time watching this and now his personality makes so much since. He’s a humble dude humbled by life. Worked his way up and now he’s an LCS Champion. WELL EARNED. 😭 😭 😭
Great Drive Video! I first met Contractz in January of 2016, when he joined Team Ember. Too young to play in the LCS, but was an amazing, fierce player.
Great lil insight into his life, excellent work
Wow, what a hard time he had on and off the rift. Amazing story of perseverance and hoping his relationship with his mother is in a good place now. Let’s go CLG!
I knew this was gonna be a banger when I saw the redwood trees at the start. I fucking love Contractz, the most goated Bay Area league player. Fucking beautiful video, happy to learn more about him.
Contractz has always been a great clutch player. Good luck Contractz! I really hope Contractz makes it back to worlds with this CLG squad
This was amazing! I loved the lighting by and cinematography!
i remember watching the EG game and i didnt even really know who contractz was (started watching pro in 2019) but that post game interview showed me he had real heart. Contractz has a fan in me
Keep Fighting Contractz!!! No matter how many times you get knocked down remember how far you've gotten believing in yourself!
This is an awesome video. I hope contractz continues to shine
I think drive is what gets these pros personality's and storys out there. Past few years of LCS have been pretty underwheling to me but this split is feeling a little different. With the amount of content LCS is pumping now plus them bringing back drive. really livens my mood the keep watching and support all these wonderful pros
LCS needs more player-centric stories like these, esp. for players that the community (broadly) doesn't know much about. Much love to Contractz.
Can't hanndle the feels Contractz Mom #1 Fan
Man I wasnt interested in the bo5 between c9 and clg, but now im totally hyped for the match
We love him 💖
Amazing content, a ton of respect for contractz and his family ❤
I was a fan of this jungler since he was with c9 in 2017 and im still supporting him but he had a bad team over and over after c9 that mad him lose his career sush a pain bro and i knew he is a good player since 2017 its just sush a oppressed player but im happy he found a good team now
Let's go CLG
Somebody chopping onions in here or something I don’t know.
This might win a award, really well put together and great choice of player
Much love to Contractz
Not a player I've really thought much about before but this story is amazing. Rooting for him now.
So happy for this team! Keep it up contractz!
DRIVE curse strikes yet again.
Excellent. More of this please.
I had no idea. When he was on c9 that was probably my favorite roster ever and ive followed him since. I may not be a CLG fan but ill always be a contractz fan. Very inspiration video. Never give up
Big ups ALWAYS to Contractz. Give this man some respect.
Rooting for you!
Wow, being a long time C9 fan this was awesome. I remember being super hype for Contractz's debut on C9, and for Blaber as well. I hope Blaber gets back to his peak but it would be awesome if Contracts gets some more time in the limelight... Also when Contractz is done with league he can just be a model sheeeeeesh
This was really emotional to watch. Really relatable. I'm so proud of you for everything contractz.
Wow...I cried watching this. Definitely a Contractz fan now ❤️
Happy to see you back!
that was a great episode! FeelsStrongMan
Les go CLG! He has a new fan in me even when he leaves the org.
Goddamn. This hit so hard close to home. I cried watching this man.
His mom is probably so happy now that he's the champ
so much respect for this guy and his mom
coming here after the LCS finals, congrats to Juan and his family :)
Let's go Contracz and let's go CLG!!! GL in the playoff
this content is way better than anything the LEC has ever done. Reminds me of the reignover one
This was beautiful! ❤️
really touching
Genuine video. No one deserves it more thank Contractz and Dhoks. Their storyline is amazing and made me a fan of CLG
Been a CLG fan for a decade but contractz just gained a life long fan
awesome video, makes me root for CLG even harder now. i actually think theyre the 4th best team in LCS but maybe they can pull off the miracle run and get a world's spot.
Awesome. It's great to know more about your favorite players :) Keep up the great work, Riot! Always been a CLG fan, originally a HotshotGG fan #feelsOldMan
I'm not sure what happens with C9 in 2018 (and further) if he stays
But I'm happy for him to be back.
they may have done better or at least contractz's name would be a lot bigger because he was a real good NA jungler that even did decent at worlds after just one split. he held his own and c9 was so close to making to semis against a very strong team. he was blaber before blaber.
I'm so excited for the start of playoffs this weekend, the games are so hype
Our guy ❤
Damn this took a dark turn from the usual DRIVE stories. Adds a ton of context to his career trends, especially that moment when he cried on the analyst desk. Much love to Contractz and his family!
Tell everyone you know to watch this
Does anyone else miss the 1 0n 1 interviews with pros or ppl of interest from the scene that Dash used to do pre covid days, as well as the "next level" series. I would love to see those come back
Edit: Holy shit.
it was called "the Queue"
This was absolutely beautiful
crying s2 Always loved this dude
Great edition, it makes me feel emotional, Great job ❣️
That was amazing
This is what the LCS fucking needs for content. It makes me care about the fucking players man on a personal level
FeelsStrongMan
Wish u the best contractz
damn someone cutting onions before the 1st minute mark
EL CONTRACTOOOOOOOOO
drive is back nice
Momma the goat!!
Happy for this dude
I want him to go to worlds, I’m rooting for this CLG roster.
Hope CLG can be one of NA rep in Worlds along with EG and TL
Contractz mom is a big W
Lets go Contractz!!
