Schalke 04 Esports Makes Roster Change After Slow Start
After a disappointing 0-4 start to the 2020 LEC season, Schalke 04 Esports is shaking things up by bringing in academy player Lukas “Lurox” Thoma to replace Erberk “Gilius” Demir for their week three matches. Lurox has been a key player for Schalke’s academy team, Evolution, who currently have a flawless 5-0 record in the Prime League Pro Division.
Organization Puts Faith in Lurox’s Performance
Schalke 04 Esports announced their decision to give Lurox a chance on the main stage, emphasizing that it is not a reflection of Gilius’s performance, but rather an opportunity to showcase Lurox’s abilities. The organization is fully supportive of Lurox and aims to boost his confidence so that he can secure their first win of the season this weekend.
With a star-studded roster featuring AD carry FORG1VEN and top laner Odoamne, Schalke had high hopes for a successful season. However, their poor decision-making and inability to maintain early leads have resulted in a disappointing 0-4 record, leaving them at the bottom of the standings alongside Team Vitality.
Lurox’s Aggressive Playstyle
Lurox has achieved great success with aggressive jungle champions, such as Elise, Jarvan IV, and Lee Sin, when playing for the academy team. He boasts an impressive 6.13 KDA and a 67 percent average kill participation, according to Leaguepedia. Fans can expect Lurox to bring his impactful presence to the main stage.
Schalke 04 Esports will kick off week three against Misfits on February 7 at 12pm CT.
