Vor gerade einmal zwei Wochen gelang es dem DragonBorns-Team überraschenderweise, sich gegen die Favoriten von MeetYourMakers im Kampf um den letzten freien Slot in der europäischen Season 3 League of Legends Championship Series durchzusetzen.
Direkt im Anschluss an den Sieg verkündete der Jungler Ram ‚Brokenshard‘ Djemal, dass er dem Lineup zukünftig als Coach und Ersatzspieler beistehen werde. Er rief offen dazu auf, dass sich potenzielle Kandidaten für die frei gewordene Jungle-Position bei dem Team bewerben sollten. Der Grund für seinen Rücktritt liegt nicht – wie angenommen – darin, dass er noch seinen Dienst beim israelischen Militär abschließen müsse, sondern gab er nunmehr bekannt, dass er aus gesundheitlichen Gründen nicht Vollzeit spielen könne.
Nachdem das Team über 200 Bewerbungen erhalten hatte, gab man heute das Ergebnis der Suche bekannt: Ex-Curse-Jungler Tobias ‚Malunoo‘ Magnusson wird für die DragonBorns in Season 3 antreten. Hiermit zerschlagen sich auch Gerüchte dahingehend, dass Malunoo Teil des fnatic Academy-Teams sein wird.
Außerdem stellte DragonBorns auch gleich die beiden Ersatzspieler des Teams vor. Mit Vytautas ‚extinkt‘ Melinauskas wurde ein renommierter Ersatz für die AP- und AD-Positon gefunden. Auch Jakob ‚YamatoCannon‘ Mebdi wird dem Team zur Verfügung stehen, sollte ein Stammspieler ausfallen.
+ Statement von Ram ‚Brokenshard‘ Djemal (Team-Coach):
Let me start off with my situation. I have permanently been moved to the substitution bench and am also operating as the teams Coach. Now, I’m sure many people can guess why I’m on the bench. I’ve seen a lot of people bring up my military service, which may be the issue if it wasn’t for this present much larger issue. I’ve been battling a disease (will not name it for my privacy) for some time now, and was expecting to make a full recovery within the next month. However, this will not be the case duo to several complications (the poland weather really messed with me). I will probably be in bed rest and rehabilitation for the next 2-3 months. By then, I’m sure the team would be adjusted to the new jungler. The only opportunity for me to get the main roster spot is if someone is under performing, and I get a chance to redeem myself, which I honestly do not look forward to, as I wish the best for my team. As a Coach my job is to make sure the team is focused, ready and above all happy. I will make sure they practice their strategies, formulate tactics and schedule their training. Pretty much all for the team.
This brings me into my next announcement. Since I will be subbed, who will join the main team? After numerous applications (about ~200) from qualified individuals, we went with the veteran player, ex-Crs jungler Tobias „Malunoo“ Magnusson. We needed not only a jungler, but one who could make calls (since I was the shot caller and team captain during my stay). We eventually fell in love with Malunoo’s champion pool and play style, as well as his attitude and vast experience against multiple teams. He will be our main jungler for as long as possible.
As for our substitutes, since I cannot manage the entire team alone, I have enlisted the help of two more players to round off the team. I would like to welcome Jakob „YamatoCannon“ Mebdi as our first official sub, covering the roles of AD, Support, Mid, Jungle, and Top (yes, all of it) as well as the ex-Crs midlaner Vytautas „Extinkt“ Melinauskas who will cover the roles AD and Mid.
Welcome! Malunoo, YamatoCannon and Extinkt!
