It is important to note that the Swedes, formerly known as LAJONS, basically won the championship on the back of strong performances from Adrian “Era” Kryeziu as well as Joel “Apemother” Larsson and Jonas “jonassomfan” Lindholm.
The Swedish team has been producing exciting strategies such as the “Venomancer+AA” pick as well as exhibiting top-notch plays since they were picked up by the premier Nordic organization earlier this month.
They most recently grabbed a third place finish at the Starladder Season XI Lan Finals.
