Misfits Gaming Re-Signs Maxlore for Three More Years
Misfits Gaming announced today that Nubar “Maxlore” Sarafian, the team’s in-game leader and jungler since the end of the 2017 Spring Split, has signed on to remain with the team for another three years.
Maxlore has become the face of the Misfits roster since his signing last year. He was there when the team nearly beat three-time world champions SK Telecom T1 in the Worlds quarterfinals in 2017. He’s also the player the Riot broadcast team often brings in for post-game interviews and guest appearances after the EU LCS games. Maxlore’s popularity with fans is evident, and the fact that he’s locked into a three-year contract should make a lot of those fans happy.
Maxlore’s Re-Signing Confirmed Alongside Hans Sama
Misfits also confirmed that alongside Maxlore, bot lane carry Steven “Hans Sama” Liv will remain on the team. With those two slots confirmed, as well as mid laner Fabian “Febiven” Diepstraten and top laner Paul “sOAZ” Boyer, only one spot on the starting roster remains to be confirmed—the support position.
All four of these players, Maxlore, sOAZ, Hans Sama, and Febiven, were some of the league’s top-tier talent during the 2018 season. Febiven was highly regarded as the best player on Clutch Gaming. The potential support player who fills the final slot will have high expectations to meet when the 2019 season begins in January.
“Maxlore has been a fundamental part of the team and we’re excited to begin our new chapter in the LEC with him by our side,” Misfits said in its announcement.
