The main duo of the Invictus Gaming 2018 lineup, Rookie and JackeyLove have once again had the opportunity to work together in the 2023 season.
Rookie will join TOP Esports in the 2023 season. According to information from “journalist” Doinb, TES has sent an attractive offer to Rookie and the contract was quickly signed.
Meanwhile, a few other notable sources in China also confirmed this information. Accordingly, TES initially wanted to recruit Doinb, but this player changed his mind at the last minute, so Rookie was the option to continue to be selected.
The former IG player will be the replacement for the Knight position in the mid lane, who just left TES after 4 years to move to JD Gaming next season.
Rookie is considered a quality contract for TES, and it does not weaken this squad much when losing Knight. Even the chemistry between this rookie and Gunner JackeyLove can bring many different things.
After a bitter defeat at Worlds 2022, many reports suggested that TES was in danger of disbanding and having to rebuild the squad. However, the team board was determined to maintain stability by renewing with JackeyLove, Tian.
In addition, the attempt to recruit Meiko/Ming failed, so TES also continued to put their faith in Missing. Meanwhile, two young talents Wayward and Qingtian will continue to compete for an official spot in Top Lane.
