Team SoloMid has added Tristan “PowerOfEvil” Schrage to its League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) roster ahead of the 2021 season. The German player will take over the mid lane position, which was left vacant after Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg’s departure last month.
PowerOfEvil first joined the LCS in 2018, when he signed with OpTic Gaming. The mid laner later joined CLG in 2019 before landing with FlyQuest for the 2020 season. PowerOfEvil placed third in the 2019 Summer split, and second in both the 2020 Spring and Summer splits. He attended the 2020 World Championship with FlyQuest, where the team was eliminated in 9-12th place.
Prior to joining the LCS, PowerOfEvil represented Origen and Misfits in the EU LCS. Under the Misfits banner, the German player placed second in the 2017 Summer split before competing in that year’s World Championship. The team reached the quarter-finals, narrowly losing to eventual grand finalists SK Telecom T1.
The 23-year-old takes over the mid lane position from Bjergsen, who stepped down from the team in October. Bjergsen will remain with the organization as a part-owner, and as the team’s head coach.
In the announcement video, PowerOfEvil says he is looking forward to winning a domestic split title. He also says he wants to “[show] everyone that NA is capable of getting out of groups,” after not a single North American team made it to the play-off stage at the 2020 World Championship.
PowerOfEvil will debut for TSM in the 2021 LCS season, which is expected to begin early next year.
