The signing rounds out the team’s starting roster for the newly-rebranded League of Legends European Championship (LEC), in which Misfits is one of ten franchise teams.

GorillA has been considered among the best Support players in the world for several years, and with Kim ‘PraY’ Jong-in has often been cited as part of one of the strongest bot lanes.
