Former ADC for the Copenhagen Wolves Freeze is a free agent now, and according to the latest article on dailydot.com, the offers are pouring in. Jacob Wolf has highlighted Freeze’s short career, picking out the impact he made when he first hit the LCS:
Kněžínek has been a star since his debut in the LCS in 2013 with the Ninjas in Pyjamas.
After spending a year on the Ninjas’ Challenger squad in 2014—where he failed to qualify for the 2015 LCS season—an opportunity arose when Copenhagen Wolves AD carry Paweł “Woolite” Pruski accepted a trade deal to ROCCAT. With the position free, the Wolves extended their hand to Kněžínek. He accepted.
It wasn’t long before Kněžínek made good on his chance. His performance alongside a new coaching staff in his Spring debut led the Copenhagen Wolves to their most successful split in the organization’s history. For the Wolves, a sixth-place, middle-of-the-table finish meant a playoff berth—and that meant everything.
“I expected to be top sixth both splits,” Kněžínek told the Daily Dot. “We did how I expected in first split.”
The first split highlighted Kněžínek’s power. His Kalista and Draven became feared by many teams, who opted to ban both champions in the pick and ban phase.
“If you can force bans on you, you are already doing something right,” Kněžínek said. “Enemies are scared you’ll get into their head and you make a big impact there.”
Even without a full split under his belt, teams already feared Freeze and his top champions, and that is some huge respect right there. No wonder teams are looking to grab him. It does help though, that the Wolves feel apart over the summer split. Hacked messages and poor treatment of players lead to a potential playoff contender being relegated. See why this star talent is without a team and why NA could fit him well, possibly matching him with former NiP teammate Bjergsen, in the full article here.
