When you look at the LEC charts, you don't find a lot of diversity. A team like Rogue does not appear there, although it has played the leading roles in the European league for several years. The Ninjas have thus finished 3 times in first place... in the regular season. Often impeccable during the beginning of the segment, it's when the playoffs come that it gets complicated.
However, the current roster does not lack experience, especially in toplane. Odomane is a dinosaur, which made the heyday of many teams (G2K, Splyce, Schalke 04...). Immovable, it is a real rock that commands respect. We had the opportunity to talk to him after his victory against SK Gaming (Week 3). Satisfied with the level displayed by his team, he is very ambitious for the future.
Odoamne's video interview
Snape, a contender for the title?
With Rogue , we are always very wary when talking about the title. Often placed but never a winner, the team has played in two finals (Spring 2022 and Spring 2021). The scenarios were very different, but the result did not change: two defeats against G2 (0-3) and against MAD Lions (2-3). Difficult to identify the little thing that is missing each time. The collective is however well established and now, we can no longer use the excuse of experience. We've already talked about Odoamne, but a player like Larssen is also starting to look like a veteran.
2022 could be the right year for Rogue, however. A new element gave a new face to the team: Malrang . The Korean jungler is unpredictable and brings creativity to the roster. Odoamne and Larssen are very good players, but their style of play is a bit too stereotypical. But they can count on the jungler to create openings and surprise their opponents. Whether with its pathing or its itemization, it always manages to shock. Congratulated from all sides for his rapid adaptation to the LEC, he could well lead Rogue to his first title... In any case, we feel that with this series of 5 victories, the team can at least claim a top 3 and a qualifying for the Worlds .
Who would've believed that ? The legendary Elden Ring player, Let Me Solo Her, is not done making noise yet. He recently signed a new feat, that of defeating Malenia more than 2000 times.
