Former SK Gaming Player FORG1VEN Joins Gambit Gaming
Former SK Gaming AD carry Konstantinos “FORG1VEN” Tzortziou is set to join Gambit Gaming, according to sources close to the organization.
Gambit Gaming has been struggling to decide on a player for its bot lane. The team has been trying out Gamers2 marksman Mohammed “Jebus” Tohki, Fnatic AD carry Pierre “Steeelback” Medjaldi, and a combination of former bot laner Kristoffer “P1noy” Pedersen and other European supports. However, it seems that Tzortziou and current support Edward “Edward” Abgaryan have been chosen for the upcoming split.
Tzortziou recently played for fourth-place European League Championship Series team SK Gaming. He was known as one of the best marksman in the region and won the EU LCS Most Valuable Player award for the 2015 Spring Split.
Despite his impressive performances, SK Gaming faced difficulties within the team. They finished the regular split in first place but faced losses in the playoffs. In the semifinals, they were defeated by the Unicorns of Love and then lost to H2K Gaming in the third-place decider.
Tzortziou recently stepped down from SK’s starting lineup and became a substitute. This prompted negotiations for him to join another team.
