Things are moving deeply at Team BDS. Since the organization has managed to acquire the LEC slot of Schalke 04, it is above all on this new roster that it has focused. That said, the blues and pinks have not neglected their academic team which, if it will certainly struggle to come out of the shadow of its eldest, still offers great promises for the 2022 Season of the LFL.
Unsurprisingly, BDS – now BDS Academy – will keep Papi Delas, aka Francisco José “Xico” Cruz Antunes, in midlane as well as the Pole Robert “Erdote” Nowak in the support post. After a roller coaster season, concluded with a 3rd place at Spring and an 6th at Summer, and despite predictions very largely in their favor, the Swiss five will have to prove this season that he deserves his status as well as his place at the top of the standings – and this, in particular, in a French league whose level is still low. exploded.
Roster
A roster that questions
On the midlane side, Team BDS retains a guarantee that will reassure fans: Xico. Expected last year as one of the top names in his position, he unfortunately did not have the opportunity to shine as much as we could have wished, but he remains a major asset for the Swiss team. Likewise, Erdote will have another chance to prove that he is more than a mid-table support.
The two players will be able to count on a new line-up revised upwards, but which remains topped by question marks. In toplane, Agresivoo arrives after an excellent season within Misfits Premier who will have seen it snatch the title of Summer as well as the Grand Final on the nose and beard of the Karmine Corp. That said, apart from the Polish roster which made the Blue Wall tremble, and whose strength seemed to rest in particular on an incredible team cohesion, one can wonder if he will manage to restore the same level of play.
In botlane, BDS Academy has recruited a real size, who has tasted the LEC scene on several occasions, sometimes at SK Gaming, sometimes at Vitality: Crownshot. The Slovenian ADC are a former Super Liga, whom he had dominated alongside MAD Lions in 2018 but since then he has only known the middle of the table. Although he certainly has it under his feet, we can honestly wonder about his future performance in the blue and pink team, especially as the 2022 season promises to be extremely competitive on the botlane side.
Finally, in the jungle, the Swiss team acquired a French player well known on the scene, former sub at LDLC OL then jungler from TPAA : Sheo. Despite more than honorable performances in Div 2 (3rd in Summer 2021, then 3rd in Playoffs), the young jungler still has everything to prove and he also raises many questions.
It remains to be seen whether the Swiss team will be able to surprise …
