Danil "Diamondprox" Reshetnikov is returning to Gambit Esports as captain of their LCL team, the organization announced Tuesday.

"I've wandered around the Esports scene long enough," Diamondprox said in a statement. "Having spent this year playing abroad I came to a realization that returning to Gambit is a better option for me compared to joining a mid-table NA LCS team. I feel I can make a bigger impact in the organization that shares my outlook, where deep mutual respect is in place. So I'm going to take on the responsibility of producing memorable results from inside the region my career stems from."

Diamondprox left Gambit in April when he accepted an offer from Apex Gaming to be part of their 10-player roster. He played with their North American Challenger Series roster, Apex Pride, until September, when the team finished in fifth place in the NA CS Summer Round Robin with a 1-3-1 record.

Diamondprox is best known for being part of Moscow Five's 2012 roster that took first at IEM Season VI Kiev, the IEM Season VI World Championship, and the Season 2 European Regional Finals, as well as placing 3rd-4th at the Season 2 World Championship. More recently, he played with Gambit's former EU LCS roster and briefly with the Unicorns of Love.

According to the press release, Diamondprox has signed with Gambit until the end of the 2017 season. Gambit placed sixth in the 2016 LCL Summer Season with a 6-8 record, falling short of the playoffs.
