LoL: Cinkrof joins Forsaken in Polish League Rift Legends after over a year of break

Polish jungler Jakub "Cinkrof" Rokicki joins Forsaken in the Polish league, Rift League. He returns to competitive League of Legends after more than a year away, with his last match dating back to the 2023 EMEA Masters Summer final, where he won 3-2 with Karmine Corp against Movistar Riders.

He will play alongside Dawid "Melonik" Ślęczka, a well-known toplaner from the LFL and EMEA scene, as well as three other familiar faces from the Polish scene, making the roster fully Polish.

At 27 years old, Cinkrof is entering his 10th year of competitive play, having played for around 15 teams across various levels of European League of Legends. The Polish jungler started his career with Polish and Spanish teams before joining Karmine Corp in 2021, where he found massive success. He won back-to-back EMEA Masters titles in Spring and Summer 2021, along with an LFL championship in the same Spring split.

The massive success he found in the European Tier 2 scene earned him a promotion to the highest level of competition. In 2022, he joined BDS for their first split in the LEC, reuniting with his former toplaner Adam "Adam" Maanane and former Kameto Corp midlaner Ilias "nuc" Bizriken. However, the year went poorly for the Swiss organization, as they failed to reach the playoffs in both splits.

After a break in Spring, Cinkrof returned to Karmine Corp in Summer 2023 where he took a leadership role and served as the backbone of the team. He won both LFL and EMEA Masters alongside the legendary KC roster: Lucas "Cabochard" Simon-Meslet, Lucas "SAKEN" Fayard, Caliste "Caliste" Henry-Hennebert, and Raphaël "Targamas" Crabbé. This roster, except for Caliste due to the age restriction, was later promoted when Karmine joined the LEC—without Cinkrof. The decision caused an uproar among fans at the time and ultimately led Cinkrof to put his career on hold, as he wasn’t willing to return to the ERLs after winning everything multiple times.
