Nightmares

Richard Gielisse, better known in competition as Nightmares, is a 29-year-old Dutch support who remains active on the professional circuit with mCon Esports in the Road of Legends. Hailing from the Netherlands, he brings the experience of a seasoned player to a role that rewards patience, communication, and a deep understanding of the flow of a match. Support is the position he has made his own, and it suits a player who thinks several steps ahead of the action.

What a Support Brings to the Table

The support role is often described as the glue of a League of Legends team. Nightmares does not chase farm or kills; instead, he creates the conditions for his teammates to succeed. That means controlling vision around key objectives, protecting his AD carry through the vulnerable laning phase, and choosing decisive moments to lock down enemies or absorb damage on behalf of his carries. It is a role of enablement, where the best players are felt across the entire map even when they are not on the scoresheet.

Veteran Presence in the Road of Legends

Competing in the Road of Legends, Nightmares provides mCon Esports with the kind of steadying influence that experienced supports offer. At 29, he sits among the more senior players in a field that often skews young, and that longevity typically translates into strong shot-calling and composure under pressure. Supports of his vintage frequently serve as the emotional and tactical anchors of their squads, guiding younger teammates through tense mid-game decisions.

Sustained Relevance

Nightmares’ continued activity is a testament to the durability of the support role for players who master its subtleties. As long as he keeps reading the game sharply and coordinating effectively with his bot lane, he can remain a valuable contributor to mCon Esports. His career reflects the reality that support players, unlike some flashier positions, can age gracefully into leadership, and his outlook points toward further contribution wherever his experience is needed.
