In Europe, we don’t really have time to get bored on the competitive scene of League of Legends. The LFL crowned its champion of France, the suspense remains whole in LEC and the European Masters start today. Starter, main course and dessert: there is something to enjoy without moderation. But despite the consistency of the menu, we can’t help but keep an eye on what’s happening in the rest of the world, especially in North America. It’s a bit of a treat, but we also like to follow the adventures of the two Frenchmen involved in the LCS: Hans-Sama and toucouille.
Our two Blues have made a very good start to the season with Team Liquid and FlyQuest. They were able to charm the community and the observers and without much surprise, they were rewarded at the end of the LCS Pro Team. Not bad for a first segment across the Atlantic!
Hans Sama, finally a raid of titles?
Hans-Sama is a talented player who broke through very early at the highest level. But despite his remarkable performances, it is clear that his record remains unimpressive today. Whether with Misfits Gaming or Rogue, he hasn’t won much in Europe. But that trend may well change this year. He has already won the LCS Lock-In with Team Liquid and with his superteam which has finally solved his administrative problems, he could well collect a maximum of titles in 2022. In North America, the team is scary. The craziest fans even dream out loud of an international title… There is still a long way to go and with America, we have learned over time to be wary so as not to put the cart before the horse. But we must recognize that Hans Sama and Team Liquid deserve respect and consideration.
The panel of experts named Hans Sama as the titular ADC of the first LCS Pro Team. With 114 points, he has a nice margin on his dolphin, Berserker the Korean ADC of Cloud9 (96 points). However, when analyzing the results, we will notice that the majority of the LCS coaches favored the Korean… The Frenchman, however, caused a stir among the media and broadcast teams.
toucouille in team 2, great performance for a rookie!
Hans Sama is not the only Frenchman to have been rewarded by the LCS community. We imagine that toucouille landed in North America with a lot of skepticism: the tricolor had never played in a major league. But since his arrival, he has impressed and it is no coincidence that he finds himself in the 2nd team of the segment. Even if FlyQuest is not considered for the title, the team still managed to obtain interesting results (9-9). The Frenchman has a lot to do with it and we can’t wait to see him continue to progress… We miss him in the LFL, but his success fills us with joy.
With 57 points, he finished ahead Fudge (39 points) but quite far behind Bjergsen (125 points). The Dane was almost unanimously named the best midlaner in the Spring Split. Nick Geracie (InvenGlobal) is the only one to have placed the Frenchman in first place in his ranking.
