Starhide

Starhide, known by his full name Andres Eduardo Briseno Urdaneta, is a 25-year-old Venezuelan support player currently competing for Lyon Academy in the LRN. Representing the Latin American competitive pipeline, he occupies the support position and has become associated with a distinctive, playmaking approach to the role.

A Playmaking Support

Support is a position defined by vision, protection, and initiation, and Starhide’s champion pool points squarely toward the creative side of that spectrum. His affinity for Bard, one of the most mechanically expressive supports in the game, reveals a player who relishes proactive plays. Bard rewards those who can weave across the map collecting meeps, land long-range stuns with Cosmic Binding, and pull off game-altering ultimates that freeze allies and enemies alike in stasis. Piloting such a champion demands imagination and precise timing, traits that set roaming, tempo-oriented supports apart from their more defensive counterparts.

Developing in Latin America

Lyon Academy operates as a developmental extension within the Latin American ecosystem, and competing in the LRN gives Starhide a structured environment to hone his craft against peers on a similar trajectory. Academy and regional-league play form the crucial middle rung of the competitive ladder, where players sharpen fundamentals, build synergy with teammates, and audition for larger opportunities. For a support, this means mastering the discipline of vision control and shotcalling while still leaving room for the flashy plays a champion like Bard invites.

Potential on the Horizon

At 25, Starhide combines competitive maturity with an active career still very much in motion. As a Venezuelan talent within the Latin American scene, he adds to the region’s reputation for producing skilled, aggressive support players. His future will depend on his results with Lyon Academy and his continued development of that trademark playmaking style. Should his growth continue, Starhide has the profile of a support capable of climbing further within the LRN and the broader Latin American competitive structure, carrying his signature creativity with him.
