Cloud9’s New AD Carry Dominating the League of Legends Championship Series
Cloud9’s newest AD carry, Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen, is off to an explosive start in the 2020 League of Legends Championship Series season. With an impressive deathless KDA, the highest CS per minute, and the most solo kills in his role, Zven is proving to be one of the biggest prospects of the Spring Split.
Teaming up with support player Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme, Zven has dominated the bot lane, winning all four of their games in the opening weeks of the LCS.
Leading the standings, Zven has achieved an impressive 18 kills, 33 assists, and zero deaths. He also boasts a CS per minute of 9.7, a gold differential at 15 minutes of 616, a CS differential at 15 minutes of 16, and an XP differential at 15 minutes of 911. These outstanding statistics make him the top player in his position in almost every category.
Over the past two years, Zven faced criticism as part of Team SoloMid. Despite high expectations, the team narrowly missed Worlds for the first time in history after Zven and support Alfonso “Mithy” Rodriguez joined the roster. Zven unfairly received much of the blame, despite other contributing factors.
This year, Zven controversially replaced Zacary “Sneaky” Scuderi as the ADC in the bot lane, becoming the last remaining original member of Cloud9. Initially met with suspicion from fans, Zven’s stellar performance in recent weeks may just win them over.
Cloud9’s next match will be against FlyQuest next Saturday in the LCS.
