Polish team Rogue announced today that they will be making changes to their roster in response to their poor performance in the League of Legends European Championship. Currently at the bottom of the leaderboard with zero wins and eight losses, Rogue stated in a press release that they are moving forward with their intention of creating a 10-man roster.
In an effort to improve their performance, Rogue will be replacing top laner Kim “Profit” Jun-hyung and support Kim “Wadid” Bae-in with Finn Wiestål and Oskar “Vander” Bogdan respectively, starting this Friday. Wadid and Vander will both have scrim time in the support role, with Vander expected to take the starting spot each week.
Rogue originally planned for Wadid to play in the upcoming Ultraliga league, but due to league requirements, they have signed Oskar “Raxxo” Bazydło as their new support player. Raxxo previously played for Greek team Panathinaikos AC and had a strong performance at EU Masters 2018 Summer.
New Rosters:

- Top: Finn “Finn” Wiestål
- Jungle: Mateusz “Kikis” Szkudlarek
- Mid: Chres “Sencux” Laursen
- Bot: Martin “HeaQ” Kordmaa

The General Manager for Rogue, Tomislav “flyy” Mihailov, voiced their goal of building a strong roster of 10 players to support each other and improve together. In preparation for this, Rogue has been building the necessary infrastructure to accommodate two full teams in Berlin.
Rogue will debut their new roster this Friday against FC Schalke 04, aiming to secure their first win of the Spring Split.
