The best German midlaner becomes US champion, is kicked out of the squad – becomes a substitute in the completely wrong team

Leksand extended the winning streak beat AIK

23-year-old midlaner Felix “Abbedagge” Braun has not had a good month in League of Legends: first he caught Covid, then he was lacklusterly kicked out at the 2022 LoL World Championship with his team 100 Thieves. Ultimately, his team replaced him with the 3-year-old Dane Bjergsen. Now the former Schalke player returns to Europe, but only on the bench with a midfield team in the LEC. The problem: The LEC spring MVP plays in the midlane there.

Abbedagge was still doing so well in 2021:

  • Abbedagge played at Schalke from 2018 to 2021 and made a name for himself as the German hopeful in the midlane. He was considered a huge talent.
  • This was also recognized by 100 Thieves, who bought him from Schalke for $1 million in 2021: That suited Schalke quite well, they wanted to give up their professional team in LoL anyway. Abbedagge is said to have earned €600,000 a year in the USA.
  • Abbedagge made a big impact in the USA at 100 Thieves, leading a team that had been playing mediocre to a surprising championship.

    Then what went wrong? Nothing at all with Abbedagge: He also played a good season in 2022, was statistically, according to the value “KDA”, the second best midlaner in the USA in the summer, only Bjergsen was better.

    But 100 Thieves failed to win another championship and fell lacklusterly at the Worlds – like all US teams.

    Abbedagge hit the World Cup particularly hard, catching Covid and suffering from Long Covid.

    But the hard awakening came after the Worlds: Abbedagge was suddenly replaced at 100 Thieves by the much older Bjergsen and was suddenly without a club. He became a “McDonalds” player, as he puts it. So someone who earns his money at McDonalds at the checkout.

    Abbedagge is doing that now: The 23-year-old probably didn’t manage to find a “real team” for 2022. He is now, according to credible reports, moving back to Europe and becoming a substitute for Excel Esports who finished sixth in the LEC in 2022.

    LEC Wooloo transfer rumors almost always turn out to be true.

    The British team plays with the young Frenchman Vetheo, of all people, one of the few midlaners (20) who are even younger than Abbeddage and who are considered quite competent. He even became MVP in the spring. The question is whether Addebagge can earn a regular place in England and whether he even wants that.

    According to reports, he should have the opportunity to look for a new team at Excel Esports. So if there’s a crisis somewhere after the start of the season, that could be the opportunity for the 23-year-old.
