We speak to Radix Esports top-laner David "Kirito" Koppmann and manager Alex "Naughty" Bowley, after Kirito's tweet about the UK LoL scene being 'free money' generated a big discussion on Twitter. The team has also just qualified for the UK Masters. We get to know the guys and ask about their roster, and ask them lots of questions from Twitch chat too.
