The Frenchman Adam “Adam” Maanane (20) was considered a huge talent in League of Legends in 2021. He played for Fnatic and even participated in the World Championship. However, there was a scandal there and he left Fnatic for Team BDS. With his new team, he only managed a disappointing 9th place. Therefore, he is expected to only play in the substitute team in the upcoming split.
How did Adam’s career unfold?
- Adam played for the team Karmine Corp in the LFL in 2020, which is like the second league in France in LoL. He made such a good impression there that Fnatic bought him in May 2021 for the Summer Split. Until his acquisition, the season was going poorly for Fnatic.
- The then 19-year-old top laner immediately made an impact and led Fnatic to 2nd place in the LEC playoffs. That was enough for participation in the World Championship 2021. Adam himself was even crowned LEC Rookie of the Summer.
- At the Worlds, however, the bot laner Upset left before the 1st match . Without the German, Fnatic dropped out in the group stage with a 1-5 record. Afterward, Adam announced his departure from Fnatic. It turned out that the separation happened out of frustration over Upset’s actions.
- However, the top laner disappointed at his new team BDS. That’s why the team has now signed a new top laner. Insiders say that Adam will only be allowed to play in the substitute team in the future and will thus be relegated to the 2nd league.
Training camp in South Korea went completely wrong
What is Adam’s problem? After the disappointing Spring Split, Team BDS went to a training camp in South Korea with its academy team. There, the young talents from the academy competed against the established professionals.
The Polish top laner Tobiasz “Agresivoo” Ciba convinced so much that BDS immediately signed him for the first team. This now creates a strong competitive environment.
Wooloo, a reporter and well-known insider around the LEC, now claims that Adam will only play in the academy team for the Summer Split and Agresivoo will take his place in the highest European league.
In addition to this change, the supporter Robert “Erdote” Nowak is also expected to be promoted from the academy team to the main team. The previous support, Dino “LIMIT” Tot, is also expected to be sent back to the second team.
Limit has been playing for SK Gaming and Schalke 04 in the LEC since 2019 and has made a name for himself there, especially with Alistar.
Polish top laner has already impressed at European tournaments
Who is the replacement for Adam? Agresivoo is 22 years old and has already played for the second team of Misfits in the French LFL – the league where Adam became known. In the LFL, he won several national titles and participated in the EU Masters six times.
The EU Masters are the largest tournament directly behind the LEC. HandOfBlood aims to win this long-term with his team Eintracht Spandau. This season, the well-known player Rekkles and his team Carmine Corp won the title. In the final, two French teams even faced off against each other.
Generally, LoL has undergone an interesting development in recent years concerning the national leagues. Through storytelling and good talent promotion, tournaments have become exciting and entertaining.
