“We followed the development of Erberk with great interest and found that he made significant progress, especially last year. We want to build on this and further support Erberk in his development. We are convinced that he has the potential to hold his own in the LEC”, said Tim Reichert, Chief Gaming Officer of the Royal Blues, adding: “With Lukas Thoma, another player is waiting for his chance to advance to the LEC roster. The competition will have a positive effect on the development of both players.”

Lately “Gilius” played for the German esports organization Ad Hoc Gaming. In 2016 he already wore the jersey of the Royal Blues and was honored several times by Riot Games with the “Player of the Match” award.
