At the age of 30, Diamondprox is still working hard to become a rare name in the world that is still “undefeated” in the 2022 season.
Referring to the “ageless talents” of League of Legends, perhaps most current gamers will immediately think of Faker, however, for early LoL fans, besides the Immortal Demon King, there is still one. The name that, when it is called, will surely make many people emotional: Diamondprox.
This is certainly not a strange name to the LoL audience from 2011 to 2013, but for later generations of gamers, Diamondprox may still be an unimpressive name. Because, during his playing career, the player born in 1992 has never won any international titles. However, like Madlife or SofM, the greatness of Diamondprox does not come from the title, but has been recognized by the entire community because of the performances he brings.
We often know the terms “carnivorous jungle” and “herbivorous jungle”, but in the past, this playstyle was shaped by Diamondprox himself, when he completely changed the style of the traditional jungle position. , from monster farming -> warding -> combat, making this somewhat stereotypical and “backward” position the key to the ultimate victory of each match.
With Diamondprox, starting with Kha’Zix and Lee Sin, he transformed the jungle position with ganking early in the game, setting up small skirmishes and “farm people instead of monsters”, hence the concept of ” carnivorous forest” was born.
Temporarily setting aside the glorious victories of the past, perhaps for those who have heard of Diamondprox’s name, most will think that he has retired, or “retired” in a low-class league. However, the reality is completely opposite, this Spring 2022, the old Forest God is still roaming in the LCL – Russian League of Legends, in the colors of Team Spirit – The organization has just won DOTA 2 TI 2021, and established League of Legends team earlier this year.
Under the direction of the old general born in 1992, Team Spirit has won 4 absolute victories after the first 2 weeks of competition, and is one of only two rare teams that still holds an undefeated record in the 2022 Spring Split LCL. , next to One Breath Gaming.
Currently, the LCL has been suspended due to the war situation between Russia and Ukraine, however, the strong return of Diamondprox is still the most impressive highlight of the Eastern European League of Legends village in the early period of 2022. Compared to Faker, the Russian player may not have had a chance to reach an international title, but his persistent fighting strength and burning desire for professional League of Legends is still worth the fans. graves must be proud and honored.
