In an exclusive interview with ONE Esports, BeryL confessed to being an avid collector on his Genshin account and expressed his inclination to summon new characters.
Following his second World Championship triumph in 2022, BeryL hurried back to South Korea from the United States to indulge in Genshin Impact. However, due to server disparities between Asia and the Western region, he encountered difficulties accessing his Genshin account in the US, compelling him to summon for Nahida’s limited-time banner in his home country.
In 2023, BeryL had the opportunity to star in a commercial for Genshin Impact’s collaboration with the popular pizza chain, Pizza Alvolo.
BeryL, a South Korean professional support player, has achieved remarkable success in the League of Legends esports scene. He played for DAMWON Gaming (now Dplus KIA) in 2020 and later joined DRX. With these teams, he secured the World Championship title twice, first in 2020 and then again in 2022.
