Entrust

Entrust, the competitive name of Benson Tsai, is a Taiwanese support player who competed in the League of Legends Circuit Oceania under the Gravitas banner before entering retirement. Though his active days are now behind him, his career offers a window into the craft of a support specialist who plied his trade in one of the sport’s most geographically distinct regions.

A Support’s Contribution

Throughout his playing days, Entrust embodied the qualities that define an effective support: vision control, protective instincts, and the willingness to place the team’s needs above personal glory. Supports operate as the connective tissue of a roster, warding the map to grant their teammates information, roaming to influence lanes beyond their own, and orchestrating the engagements that swing teamfights. It is a role measured not in flashy statistics but in the countless small decisions that keep a team functioning as a unit.

A Toolkit of Enablers

Entrust’s champion pool reflected the enchanter and playmaker archetypes that thrive in the support role. Rakan, a mobile engage support, rewards aggressive, initiating play with his dashes and crowd control. Lulu offers a protective, empowering style, shielding allies and amplifying a carry’s damage while denying enemy advances. Taric adds a durable, teamfight-oriented dimension with his sustain and game-changing ultimate. Together, these picks show a player comfortable across both the offensive and defensive spectrums of support play, able to adapt his approach to whatever a given draft demanded.

The Oceanic Chapter

The LCO, and the OPL scene that preceded it, served as the competitive home for players across Australia and New Zealand, a region that developed its own identity somewhat apart from the sport’s larger hubs. Competing for Gravitas, Entrust was part of this tight-knit ecosystem, where organizations and players built reputations within a passionate local community. For a support, contributing to that environment meant being the steady hand behind a team’s strategic execution.

Now retired, Entrust leaves behind the legacy of a versatile support who understood the subtleties of his position. His career stands as a reminder of the depth of talent that regional leagues like the LCO nurtured, and of the players who, without seeking the spotlight, formed the backbone of their teams. His chapter in competitive League of Legends is complete, but the foundational work of players like him continues to shape how the support role is understood.
