Seats are expensive LEC and the European league remains for many the number 1 objective to achieve. Even if the ERL take up more and more space and that some are more hyped than the big league (yes we are talking about the LFL), the level and especially the qualification for the Worlds are always very attractive arguments.
But it is not always easy to find a place in the sun and like every season, some players remain on the sidelines, for lack of having found a starting place. The competition is fierce and between the veterans who are less popular and the young people who lack experience, many have to come back later to try their luck again. The case of Nisqy is a bit special. Pushed to the bench by Fnatic, he is still under contract with the structure. But when he was close to joining C9 in North America, his transfer was canceled for a few thousand euros… After that, he was unable to find a new home to his liking and he is patient on the side of the road. He said he hoped to find a starting spot in a major league (LEC, LCS) for the Summer Split. That’s good, a place could well become available in a leading European structure, formerly European champion.
Reeker, a rookie in danger?
The information comes from Jaxon. Sources close to this media say that German midlaner Reeker is about to be benched at MAD Lions. It would pay for an unconvincing segment which saw the two-time European champions (Spring and Summer 2021) lose their crown to G2 Esports. The Lions did not even manage to qualify for the playoffs and the fall was painful… Even if they lost important elements during the last transfer window, they still have big players in their ranks (Armut, Elyoya and Kaiser ).
Admittedly, Reeker didn’t do a particularly brilliant segment. But the German is a rookie and on our side, we would like the leaders to give him a little more time. The former BIG midlaner hasn’t had many months to get used to the top level. It was not catastrophic and removing him from his position after half a season seems a bit hasty. Afterwards, in the short term it must be recognized that Nisqy would provide many more guarantees… Difficult to position oneself, but if Reeker really happens benchit will still be a little heartbreaking.
Nisqy, one track among others!
During his personal streams, some viewers had already tried to find subliminal messages to guess the Belgian midlaner’s next destination. Among the structures mentioned, we find in particular MAD Lions or even the Karmine Corp. (LFL). But for the moment, it seems that nothing has been signed yet. Discussions are going well and it is still impossible to know whether or not Nisqy will have a starting spot in the Summer Split. MAD Lions is a structure that likes to grow young talents (Carzzy, Kaiser). The recruitment of Nisqy would be part of another process, which would not look much like the policy of the team… But as the saying goes, only fools don’t change their minds!
Moreover, it should be pointed out that fnatic surely won’t let his replacement midlaner leave for free. The Belgian has a buyout on his head and it is not known if MAD Lions will have the means or the will to take out the blue card. Everything remains to be done and we will follow the next developments carefully.
