Upset Joins Origen as Starting AD Carry
Elias “Upset” Lipp, one of the prominent free agents in the LEC, has reportedly found a new team. According to ESPN’s Jacob Wolf, Upset is heading to Origen as the team’s starting AD carry.
Upset has been the ADC for FC Schalke 04 since 2017 and was widely regarded as the team’s best player this past year. He played a crucial role as the main carry source in the team’s rocky 2019 season.
In the 2019 Spring Split, FC Schalke 04 struggled and finished in seventh place in the regular season. However, the team performed much better in the Summer Split after adding jungler Kim “Trick” Gang-yun, ultimately securing a fourth-place finish with an 11-7 record.
Despite their improved performance, Schalke 04 faltered in the playoffs and was swept by Fnatic in the third round. They also faced a similar fate in the 2019 gauntlet, getting swept by Splyce and missing out on a shot at Worlds.
Upset’s addition to Origen brings a significant firepower to the team alongside Erlend “Nukeduck” Våtevik Holm, who had a standout season. Although the roster shows promise, there is still a long way to go in the offseason for Origen to solidify their position as a top contender.
