MAD Lions would have found their starting 5 for the 2023 season! After many twists and turns, 4 positions already seemed validated: Elyoya (jungle), Nisqy (mid), Carzzy (ADC) and Hyllisang (Add). However, the suspense remained for the position of toplaner. The Lions always had the option of continuing with Armutebut after a complicated year sportingly, the Turk was not at all certain of being kept.
Mass now seems to be over and according to Wooloo, the toplaner has finally lost his place. To replace him, part of the French community hoped to see Cabochard return to legend in the LEC. But in the end, it is another player, a little surprised, who would have been chosen.
A Korean at MAD Lions
MAD Lions should entrust his top lane to Kim “Chasy“Dong-hyeon. This would be the first time the organization has recruited a Korean player. Previewed this year in NLC alongside Viking, he has a reputation for having an aggressive style of play. It is not clear, however, what he is worth… In Korea, he went through structures like Damwon, but he never played in LCK with the first team.
The future d’Armut remains uncertain. According to the GCD he is under contract until the end of 2024. But with the probable arrival of Chasy, it will be necessary to find a way out for him, by releasing him or by finding a team ready to pater his buyout.
Good news for the Karmine Corp?
Places are filling up one after the other in the LEC and as the Frenchman was hailed for his huge level of play in the LFL, many fans were hoping to see Cabochard reintegrate the European elite. But the Frenchman does not seem to have obtained a job … we do not know if he wanted to come back.
Currently, there would be only one team without a top laner selected in the LEC… Team Heretics. The chances of seeing Cabo in the LEC are therefore increasingly slim, but it may be a blessing in disguise. We would not be against the idea of keeping him in LFL at Karmine Corp.
