This signing is great news for the region, as it keeps Europe’s most decorated support talent in the fold. Now 25 years old, the veteran began his career in Europe with Bottled Water and took his first steps in the LEC as a substitute for Fnatic during the 2016 Spring Split. That same year, he made his debut as a starter with Splyce in the Summer Split, where he finished second, losing only to G2 Esports, who were just beginning their European dominance. For the next eight consecutive years, he never lost his starting position and built his European legacy.
European superteam
He spent two years with Splyce, one year with Misfits Gaming (MSF) in 2018, and then joined G2 in 2019 as part of the legendary European superteam, still regarded as the best roster ever assembled in Europe. That team was built around Rasmus “Caps” Winther and Luka “Perkz” Perković. Mikyx stayed with G2 for three years, but in 2021, after G2’s failure to even qualify for Worlds—despite adding Martin “Rekkles” Larsson to replace Perkz—he was forced to leave. He moved to Excel (XL) in 2022, a year most have forgotten, as he spent it in the middle of the LEC standings.
At the end of 2022, Mikyx was called back by G2 Esports, who were looking to revitalize their botlane after a disappointing year, which included a 3-0 loss to Rogue in the Summer playoffs and a poor showing at Worlds, where they finished last in their group with a 1-5 record. Reunited with Steven “Hans Sama” Liv, his former Misfits teammate, they dominated Europe for two years but struggled internationally against the Asian powerhouses at both Worlds and MSI.
In total, Mikyx has accumulated eleven LEC titles (Spring 2019, Summer 2019, Spring 2020, Summer 2020, Winter 2023, Summer 2023, Season Finals 2023, Winter 2024, Spring 2024, Summer 2024, Season Finals 2024) and one MSI title (2019), making him the most decorated support in European history. He has also competed at Worlds five times (2016, 2019, 2020, 2023, 2024) and reached the grand final in 2019 with the legendary G2 Esports roster of that era.
The best support in the LEC
In the past two years, Mikyx returned to G2 with a clear goal: to reclaim his title as the best support in Europe after a lackluster year at XL in 2022. Taking over Raphaël “Targamas” Crabbé's spot, he quickly proved that he was still the same creative player with a massive impact both in lane and during teamfights. With this roster, he went on to win 5 out of 6 possible splits, including the 2023 and 2024 season finals in Montpellier and Munich, respectively. Despite this domestic dominance, G2 continued to falter internationally, failing to progress past the Swiss Stage at Worlds and facing similar disappointment at MSI, where they struggled against Asian teams. As a result, G2 is now looking to refresh their lineup in search of new energy.
In 2023, Mikyx earned the MVP title of the season. As always, he showcased his incredibly diverse champion pool, excelling with engage supports like Rell, Nautilus, and Rakan, as well as peel champions like Renata Glasc and Braum. He even adapted unconventional picks for the meta, such as Taric, Blitzcrank, Poppy, and Seraphine. The stats back it up: according to Sheep Stats, Mikyx is the highest-rated support in the LEC with a score of 72/100, and also the top-rated player on G2. He leads key categories like Vision Score, average Gold/Min, and ranks second in Assists.

After another disappointing year at an eternal second place and an abysmal international showing, the black and orange organization aims to bounce back.
