Origen are one of the ten franchises that will appear in the LEC, which rebranded from the EU LCS as it moves to a franchise model for the 2019 season and beyond.

As one of four franchises that didn’t compete in the 2018 season of the EU LCS, Origen are building an all-new line-up for their return to the premier division of European League of Legends.

Having previously announced their top-laner, mid-laner, and AD Carry, Origen have now completed their starting squad with the addition of former Unicorns of Love Jungler Jonas ‘Kold’ Andersen, and the return of Support Alfonso ‘Mithy’ Aguirre Rodriguez.

Mithy joins following an underwhelming stint with Team SoloMid, but was part of the immensely successful first Origen line-up, and also played for the G2 Esports squad that dominated Europe from Summer 2016 to the end of 2017.

The move will see Mithy separate from long-time duo Jesper ‘Zven’ Svenningsen for the first time since the formation of Origen at the start of 2015, although in Origen he will be reunited with former Ninjas in Pyjamas team-mate Erlend ‘Nukeduck’ Våtevik Holm.
