Specifically, we’re referring to the recent 10th place finish at the LEC Spring 2022 event. Concluding last weekend, they placed last with a very poor 3-15 record. Following this disappointing event, the following players have announced their departure from the roster:

  • Matti “WhiteKnight” Sormunen – Top
  • Hampus “promisq” Abrahamsson – Support

This is definitely a move forward. With both signed back at the end of 2020, the team can try build new. Specifically, the following roster is as follows:

  • Nikolay “Zanzarah” Akatov – Jungler
  • Oliver “Dajor” Ryppa – Mid
  • Kasper “Kobbe” Kobberup – Bot

Considering their Academy roster is full of players, it’s most likely that the organization sources players from here (Astralis Talent). Otherwise, the transfer market is great now post-event.

Regardless, they’ll need to start working towards better results. Will this year be just like last year?

  • 8th @ LEC Summer 2021

Although we say new, the likes of Kim “Lyn” Da-bin has been around the block. Formerly coaching the Gen.G roster from last season, the former player now has 3 years of experience as a coach.

Accordingly, bringing his experience from the LCK, one of the top franchised leagues in the world, can he improve this roster?

  • Ping “xiaolaohu” Xiao-Hu – Top
  • Yang “Beichuan” Ling – Jungle
  • Kim “Clid” Tae-min – Jungle
  • Kim “Gori” Tae-woo – Mid
  • Yang “Care” Jie – Mid

Likely yes, there’s a chance. Yet, it might be too little too late for this split. Heading into the week before last, perhaps they’ll need more time to develop the new coaching staff for a chance of success.
