How an Unlikely Duo Overcame Injury and Doubt to Become Champions

by devaccess



Role swaps don’t happen very often in competitive League of Legends, so when Perkz, one of the best mid laners in Europe decided to play AD carry, most people weren’t sure how it would work out.

But he did that in part because one player was worth it. Mikyx was good enough to make one of the most decorated players in Europe toss his legacy aside and risk it all on a role swap.

The pair was underestimated over and over again. But despite a wrist injury, despite the history of role swaps, despite the doubters, their success created one of the best bot lane duos in the world.

Even as a TL fanboy, I have mad respects for MickyX for putting such a great performance with a literal handicap. Even Perkz admits he deserved MVP for MSI. Wish the EU bot duo the best, they're already legends.

He didn't lane swap for fun. He's making room for Caps

Stop building the ego of Perkz! Perkz did not move to ADC because of his respect for Mikyx, he did it because a much better mid laner came to G2.

They going into worlds with a confident and well rested support who already won MSI and a carry botlaner who got even better at the game.
They memed their way through the summer split. I think worlds looks more promising than tough.
