Raglem

Raglem, born Juan Carlos Raul Cervantes Almonte, is a Peruvian former professional League of Legends player who made his mark as a top laner. Representing Universitario Esports during his time in the game, he was part of the Latin American competitive scene before stepping away from active play. Though now retired, his career reflects the growth of League of Legends across South America and Peru in particular.

A Top Laner’s Mentality

Throughout his career, Raglem occupied the top lane, a position that rewards independence and mechanical confidence. Top laners often find themselves fighting solitary duels while the action unfolds elsewhere, requiring both the patience to farm through difficult matchups and the aggression to punish opponents when opportunities arise. Raglem’s champion pool speaks to this identity, centered on some of the most iconic bruisers and skirmishers in the game.

Signature Champions

Raglem was recognized for his command of Aatrox, the Darkin Blade, a champion whose sweeping strikes and self-healing reward precise combat execution and aggressive frontline play. He also favored Riven, a high-skill fighter beloved by top-lane specialists for her fast-paced combos and animation-canceling potential, alongside Lee Sin, a globally popular playmaker whose mobility and mechanical ceiling make him a showcase for individual talent. This trio underscores Raglem’s inclination toward carry-oriented, mechanically intensive picks rather than passive tanks.

Legacy

As a retired competitor from Peru, Raglem represents a chapter in the ongoing development of Latin American League of Legends. Players who came up through organizations like Universitario Esports helped lay the groundwork for the region’s continued expansion and its integration into the international ecosystem. While his playing days have concluded, Raglem’s tenure as a top laner remains part of the fabric of Peruvian esports history, a reminder of the local talent that fueled the game’s rise in the region.
