Ex-compLexity jungler Brokenshard joins SK Gaming Prime
Roster changes seem to be the thing to do lately, from both LCS to Challenger Series. The latest move in this era is a switch in jungle for Challenger Series team SK Gaming Prime, who made the change from Gilius to Brokenshard. This happened since he moved back to EUW due to the unfortunate circumstances which lead him to have to leave NA LCS team CompLexity.
Brokenshard is the former jungler for the north American LCS team Complexity Gaming who had visa issues and couldn't get back to the US within the next four weeks. Complexity decided to release him and SK Prime's Manager Joe 'InnerFlame' Elouassi decided to pick up this top-notch jungler!
"First of all I'd like to thank Gilius for helping us make it this far, unfortunately we felt that he needs some more experience combined with his excellent mechanical ability. I'd like to wish him the best of luck in the future! What we wanted was a vocal jungler with experience and high mechanical skill. When I heard about Ram's situation with NALCS and his visa issues, I thought he could potentially be exactly what we were looking for. After playing the Solomid invitational with Ram we saw what he brings to the team and we unanimously agreed that he brings even more than what we expected! Having managed Ram in the past, I personally am very happy to call myself Ram's manager once again and I know he will try his hardest and bring success to SK Gaming."

"Building up and playing with the compLexity squad was something that I'll always cherish, but after moving on from them I sought to look for a team that I could build and grow with. When I was asked to sub for the TSM tournament with SKP, I came in with very little expectation, but prior to the tournament we had played ranked 5s and I could see untapped potential and ridiculous amounts of motivation and drive for success. These were the same qualities that I saw when I first joined the TBD squad last November. SKP is the perfect home for me, and I look forward to working with such a renowned organisation and such mechanically gifted players."

SK Gaming Prime will play in the upcoming second Coke League Summer split as well in the Dailymotion Challenger Cup quarter final today at 6 PM CEST and the final of the SoloMid Invitational on Saturday at 4 PM CEST.
Furthermore Team manager Joe 'Innerflame' Elouassi gave us more insight specifically on Brokenshard joining the team:
"Brokenshard is a player I previously worked with when he was last in Europe. Despite the constant criticism he recieved, I was always willing to lend him a hand and I cannot even begin to express the amount he has improved during his time in NA. He brings a huge amount of experience to a relatively inexperienced but high mechanically skilled team. I look forward to seeing the results and what's to come."
