Rogue Promotes Kacper 'Inspired' Sloma to Starting LEC Roster

Today, the League of Legends European Championship team Rogue announced via their blog that newly acquire young star Kacper “Inspired” Sloma would be promoted to starting jungler in the LEC.

Inspired, the 17-year-old jungler from Poland will take up the roster spot immediately ahead of the 2019 Summer Split, which begins for the European region on June 7th, 2019. 

"He is the next Polish jungler that people should look out for," general manager Tomislav Mihailov said in a statement. "He brings all the tools to be a starting LEC jungler. We are confident enough in his ability that we decided to have him as an undisputed starter."

Rogue has turned up a lot of rocks in the break between Spring and Summer Splits. Their extremely poor Spring led the once-formidable squad to a 10th place finish in the LEC. So far in the off-season, Rogue has kicked Kikis and Sencux to the curb -- both of whom are still stellar talents -- and they made a big trade with an LCS team for mid-laner Selfie in hopes to start as fresh as possible come the Summer.  

He may be just barely eligible for play in the European league, but Inspired isn’t new to competitive League of Legends. Since June of 2017, Inspired has played a major role on teams like Mousesports, and Pompa Team before joining the Rogue Esports Club in December of 2018. Now, since the passing of January, Inspired can play on the LEC stage and thanks to the departure of Kikis, there was an empty slot where he would fit in. 

With the new-look Rogue line-up, the relatively young franchise now has a young squad, and that line-up will look to do the exact opposite of what Rogue did in the previous split. 

As for Rogue’s Ultraliga team (Academy), they will be announcing their replacement for Inspired in the coming weeks. 

The 2019 LEC Summer Split begins on June 7th, but no match details have been revealed just yet.
