Mateusz \"Kikis\" Szkudlarek, long-time veteran of the EU LCS who joined Team Vitality as Erberk \"Gilius\" Demir's replacement, will be Rogue's starting jungler. Kikis was likely to be in high demand this year, as his appearance on Vitality seemed to fix some of their issues with communication and late-game consistency almost immediately, even propelling the team to Worlds. Kikis is one of the most experienced players in the league so far, with competitive play under his belt as far back as 2011. He's played for G2 Esports, Fnatic, Unicorns of Love, ROCCAT, and many, many more.
