Jungler Karim “Airwaks” Benghalia and mid-laner Felix “Betsy” Edling are the only confirmed players for the starting lineup next split. ROCCAT has stated that more information regarding their Summer split lineup will be provided in the coming weeks.
Recap of the Spring Split
During the Spring split, ROCCAT had a challenging season with only four wins in the regular season. However, they were able to secure their spot for the next split by defeating Team HUMA 3-1 in the promotion tournament. The team also made changes to their bottom lane during the season, including replacing Mohammad “Safir” Karim Tokhi with Tabzz and switching support players due to Edward’s Visa issues.
