After facing yet another refusal from a hotel in the early hours of the morning, accompanied by glances from staff who probably thought, “what the hell are these two scrawny dudes doing in the middle of the night looking for a hotel with nothing but €150”, they continue their odyssey.
As one foot goes in front of another, the light around them fades to an ominous red glow, and another hotel materialises in the distance. Their last hope.
The pair were thrown together, both travelling from the same country but yet to meet in person. For a first encounter, when coldjyn met SirDel, some would say it had been a little intense. No airport hotels, cash shoved in hand, and the pressure to find somewhere – anywhere – to sleep while praying for a flight the next day.
Entering the final hotel, they are greeted with the words they have been longing to hear all night: “Yeah we take cash, we have a room, upstairs to the left”.
Exhausted, they fall through the door to an unexpected sight.
Immediately, the completely see-through shower cubicle in the middle of the room seemed a little strange. The room is tiny as it is.
Then, the pieces start to fall into place. The strangely voyeuristic shower? Cabinets with pink and red bows delicately tied to each handle? Red glowing lights shining through from the street?
Yes, it became clear. JLingz Esports UK Apex Legends coach coldjyn and Pioneers player SirDel were in a sex hotel.
The pair discovered an uncomfortable truth. As the saying goes, anything can happen at LAN. However, anything can also happen on the way to LAN.

So, in his pre-coaching days, coldjyn was forced into a unique and unexpected journey to reach Sweden’s Playoffs, accompanied by SirDel.
