LOL: Schalke sold 21

The Midlan Felix Braun (21) played 2 years on Schalke in the League of Legends until the club was in financial distress and sold him to the US. There turned on Abgeschagge, became one of the 2 best midlains of the LCS and actually brings his team 100 Thieves to the Lol Worlds 2021.

What was there? As in football, Schalke 04 proves a great ability to discover and develop talents that successfully continue their career elsewhere.

The young Midlan Felix Braun brought Schalke in November 2018 from the Turkish team Royal Bandits. At Schalke it was on and off from 2019 until it was only downhill 2021:

  • Schalke committed the Alt-Star Forg1ven in 2019 and trusted that one group of young players could lead to the top of the LEC. But that was terribly wrong, Forg1ven screamed on the offspring, Schalke lost everything and the Greek was gone after a few months
  • Then a young team actually shaped, with a testimony as a service provider, but never made it all the way to the top 3 of the LEC and thus to the World Cup
  • When it looked like the group of young players slowly to a top team, rose Schalke 04 in the football Bundesliga, apparently needed urgently money, sold downturn into the US and then lost everything in the LEC to lose. Even the spot in the Lec Sell Schalke finally in Switzerland

To this team changed Certament: The E-Sports Organization 100 Thieves had previously become fourth in the US league LCs, but had no big name in Lol. In the US, teams such as Team Solo Mid, Team Liquid or Cloud 9 are the big names that regularly drive to the World Cup and make up the World Championships since 2016.

100 Thieves was founded in 2016 by the former call-of-duty pro and Youtuber Matthew Nadeshot Haag. They are an organization that comes rather from shooters and puts on content creators and style. They have large youtubers like Valkyrae or Courage under contract and operate their own fashion line. In Lol they had not achieved much in recent years.

German talent matures in the USA to the star player of the league

So it ran for Felix Braun in the US: In April 2021 Schalke sold the 21-year-old for allegedly $ 1 million in the USA to 100 Thieves.

While it went to Schalke in Germany rapid downhill, it was shiny for brown in the US. Brown was played in 26 immediately playing one of the best midlayers in the US:

  • Brown won 69% of his matches - best value
  • achieved a kDa of 4.5 - that's enough for 2nd place
  • It pushes out that the conditions dies relatively rarely. With 52 dead he plays far more secure than the expensive shop-bought star player Perkz, who was already 71 times

From Kill-Assist-Death Statistics, Termination is in 2nd place in the often used Midlangers of the USA. Only Power of Evil is in front of him. But he has left a veteran like Jensen (4.4) or Star shopping Perkz (3.7) behind.

He has reached that now: 100 Thieves has a place in the playoffs as one of the first teams worldwide in the playoffs as one of the world's first teams - the last time it managed the team 2018 to become a world championship.

Termination is seen next to a change in the coaching rod than the key change, through which 100 Thieves became so good and found an identity as an Early Game team.

Did a chance at the World Cup? No, he does not have. At the moment it is not clear what top teams from all over the world drive exactly to the World Cup. There are only a few qualified. But as a househohe favorites, teams from China like Funplus Phoenix or from Korea are considered like Damwon Gaming, that's already clear.

For Felix Braun, however, a dream comes in fulfilling to measure themselves with the Asian top players in the world like showmaker or dooinb in the Midlane. For this, Schalke had never been enough.

The player Condition has named after a noise, which makes a unit in Age of Empires (via YouTube, 0:18). Felix Braun fulfills a classic German gamer cliché, we stand on real-time strategy as Age of Empires.

Still other German LOL players to the World Cup? The other strong German players in the US Liga LCS is Powerofevil, who plays with Team Solo Mid. But they are already with a foot in front of the blam.

TSM became the first in the regular season, but then has already lost a playoff series against Team Liquid and now has to come through in Loser's Bracket somehow.

In Europe, only a German plays a strong team: Elias Upset Lipp is the Botlaner for Fnatic. Whether they create the Lol Worlds 2021 is not fixed yet. The plays in a few days against Misfits in Round two of the LEC playoffs.

Fnatic has last set a great turn in Lol: LOL: How the glorious team of Europe with 3 mocks moved from the crisis
