Chronological Overview

November 15th: Aphromoo leaves Dignitas
November 15th: PowerOfEvil will leave TSM and join Immortals
November 12th: Perkz officially departs Cloud9
October 29th: TSM confirms SwordArts departure
October 28th: TSM confirms Bjergsen departure

November 15th: Aphromoo will leave Dignitas to join FlyQuest (announced at Free Agency Show)

Aphromoo will move when he transfers from Dignitas and FlyQuest. This announcement came through Jacob Wolf’s Free Agency. FlyQuest has not officially announced the move, but Dignitas did last night announce the departure of Aphromoo following almost two years.

Rumors suggest that Aphromoo will reunite and work with the upcoming AD Carry Johnshun for the new 2022 LCS roster. This is the same person with whom he had a strong partnership while on DIG.

November 15th: PowerOfEvil has left TSM and joined Immortals

PowerOfEvil is sad to report that the German international will again be on the move, continuing his unfortunate streak where he has been on a team for one season. TSM had a hectic offseason and brought in PoE to replace Bjergsen. He did a great job, but it wasn’t enough to help TSM reach the 2021 World Champion title.

Immortals confirmed that they had acquired the German international, subject to Riot approval. The Global Contract Database states that PowerOfEvil will remain on the roster through 2023.

November 12th, Cloud9 announces Perkz’s departure after a year

One year after his massive move to North America, Perkz has officially left Cloud9 and will return home to Europe, where he will join Team Vitality. Perkz had a mixed year on Cloud9. He was able to win them the Spring championship, but the roster only made it to Worlds because of a lousy summer split.

Cloud9 knew Perkz would never be able to pay the money they spent on him, with international titles not being an achievable goal. Perkz was a crucial player in C9’s qualification for Worlds and making it to the quarter-finals.

October 29th: TSM announces SwordArt departure

TSM announced that they would be terminating veteran support SwordArt just 24 hours after Bjergsen’s announcement. The 2022 LCS roster giants signed him for a two-year contract in an incredible deal worth over $2 million.

SwordArt saw significant improvements during the summer split. However, the team didn’t qualify for the 2021 World Champion and is now looking for new support.

Reginald, the owner of TSM, confirmed that Huni and Spica would be on the roster for 2022 but mentioned no one else. Here’s the TSM roster for 2022 as it stands now:

● Heo “Huni” Seung-hoo
● Mingyi “Spica” Lu.

October 28th: Bjergsen declines TSM’s offer

Bjergsen will not return to TSM in the 2022 LCS roster. This statement has been reacted to with shock by many TSM and LCS enthusiasts. The fact that Bjergsen, a veteran of LCS, would be returning to professional play in 2022 was known for a while. The community was expecting him to return to TSM. However, TSM management announced the news via Twitter.

A Brief History Of The LoL Championship Series

Most of the eSports community refers to the LoL Championship Series as the LCS. This abbreviation signifies the North American franchised league from Riot Games. This competition dates back to 2013 and represents the top-tier League of Legends competition in North America. Before 2019, the league was referred to as the NA LCS, but in 2019, the EU LCS rebranded as the LEC.

Following the league’s massive success in 2013, LoL creator Riot Games franchised the league. Before the Spring 2018 Split, ten teams became permanent partners. In the spring 2021 season, which took place on March 15th, Counter Logic Gaming broke the quickest first blood LCS record. The team set the new record at 33 seconds into the game against their opponent, Evil Geniuses. However, considering the latest changes in the 2022 LCS roster, more interesting records and battles are up for grabs. Stay up-to-date with LoL championships by checking out esportsbff.com.
