When talking about historic names in the League of Legends rivalry circle, Asian stars like Faker (currently having huge success at MSI 2022) or Uzi; It’s true that there are also big names in the West like Rekkles or Bjergsen. If some are already retiring, others who are struggling to stay in higher education may have more difficulty finding a team. Such a historic player suddenly returns to the competitive scene and still wants to be the best in a highly competitive league like the NLC.
Arrival not yet official
according to different ResourcesRussian juggler Daniel “Diamondprox” Reshetnikov is expected to play for the NLC Bifrost ranks for the summer season in order to requalify for the EU Masters. Best known for their stints in the Moscow Five and later Gambit Gaming, Jungler and his team consistently lifted League of Legends titles in their first season in the competition. Diamond started the season on Team Spirit alongside Edward, another historic Slavic player. Although the team did not suffer any losses, the war in Ukraine resulted in the cancellation of the LCL (Russian league) by Riot Games. Without any word from the editor on this, the team just cleared their forest to see new opportunities.
Bifrost can be a difficult choice. Despite winning the Scandinavian-style championship, the team suffered a major defeat at the European Masters. Despite an agreed play-off and group stage that resulted in 5 wins and 1 loss, the team needed 0-3 seconds in direct purges. Since then, the contracts of two Bifrost players have been terminated (Cboi the jungler and DuaLL, support) and Shikari (Toplaner) is scheduled to expire on May 9, 2022. Therefore, the roster change would not be surprising, and DiamondProX would only be the first of their summer signings.
a little history
For those new to the LoL rivalry, Diamond’s period of dominance extends significantly from Season 2 to Season 4 (near Cow). Jungle is known for revolutionizing the meta in its time, highlighting champions abandoned by other pros, and popularizing counter-jungle, which specifically involves tracking the movements of the opposing jungle to get rid of camps and their resources without promising the necessary pvp. While this strategy is outdated today, it lays the foundation for aggressive defenses still in use today (i.e. the room is placed in the part of the map that is “controlled” by the team opponent).
Since then, Diamond has had good results which are not so great. He was far from ridiculous and superior in his international matches, but he no longer dominated Summoner’s Rift like in Season 2. Despite American and European talent, Jungler always preferred to stay in Russia, even though external circumstances forced him to pay today to find a new team after the cancellation of the Russian League.
