Splyce’s Xerxe Secures Victory with Unexpected Ivern Pick
Xerxe, the jungler for Splyce, pulled out a surprise pick in today’s EU LCS third-place matchup against Team Vitality. Known for his unorthodox approach to jungling, Xerxe chose to play Ivern in the final game of the series, ultimately leading his team to victory.
This wasn’t the first time Xerxe played Ivern this split. Splyce had previously used the champion to secure crucial victories against G2 Esports and Unicorns of Love in the regular season. Xerxe’s versatility as a jungler has been evident throughout his career, consistently offering surprising picks that keep his opponents guessing.
Although Ivern may not be considered the strongest jungler in the current meta, Xerxe demonstrated his proficiency with the champion. In the decisive game of the series, Xerxe used Ivern’s abilities to root enemy champions and secure important objectives on the map. He strategically used Ivern’s Brushmaker ability to control the lanes and keep Team Vitality at bay.
Xerxe’s unexpected Ivern pick showcases his adaptability and willingness to take risks as a jungler. It’s this versatility that sets him apart and solidifies his position as one of the league’s most unpredictable players.
