Valée’s win marks the peak of a multi-year journey that she’s been transparent about from the start. When she first appeared on League broadcasts, she openly discussed struggling with language barriers and on-camera presence. She worked on improving her hosting skills and English fluency while maintaining her ability to conduct interviews in French.
Her multilingual capabilities set her apart in the international esports scene. She switches seamlessly between French and English, conducting interviews with both European and global players. This skill has made her essential for tournaments that bring together teams from different regions.
Valée has worked across multiple League of Legends leagues, including a stint with the LCK broadcast in Korea. Her presence at Worlds has become expected, where she handles everything from pre-match desk hosting to post-victory interviews and trophy ceremonies.
Her playful on-air personality has created memorable moments that fans still reference. The “So you want to be a KT fan?” segment connected her with the Korean team KT Rolster, creating a running joke that she’s carried through her career. When responding to her award win, she joked that “the first one is for kt Rolster.”
