Sources: Fresskowy and Zeph permitted to explore options by MDK

Significant changes may be underway at MAD Lions KOI (MDK) after their elimination from the 2024 League of Legends World Championship. According to Sheep Esports sources, MDK midlaner Bartłomiej “Fresskowy” Przewoźnik and assistant coach Quentin "Zeph" Viguié will be permitted to explore other roster options ahead of the 2025 LEC season. The Polish midlaner was part of a promising rookie quartet making their debut in Tier 1 competition, consisting of Alex “Myrwn” Villarejo along with former Movistar Riders teammates David “Supa” Garcia and Alvaro Fernández “Alvaro” del Amo. Despite a stand-out year for the team overall, Fresskowy has still been permitted to explore options in the offseason.

Paired with veteran jungler Javier “Elyoya” Prades, Fresskowy delivered solid results during his first LEC split. MDK hit the ground running and defied all expectations by reaching the Winter Split finals — but the team slowed down in the following splits, placing 7th and 6th in the Spring and Summer splits respectively. Their qualification for the Season Finals was largely thanks to points accumulated from their Winter Split run, and they limped into Worlds after a surprise win over G2 Esports in the upper bracket of the end-of-season tournament.

Fresskowy's Worlds debut started on a positive note with a solid performance against Viking Esports during the play-in stage. However, his form seemed to decline as the tournament progressed. Against PSG Talon — though MDK eventually secured a series win and advanced to the Swiss Stage — Fresskowy’s play was unconvincing. His difficulties became even more apparent when he faced Zhuo “knight” Ding, one of the world's best midlaners, in his first match against Bilibili Gaming. To make matters worse, Fresskowy was once again outmatched by Huang “Maple” Yi-tang in a rematch against PSG Talon.

While MDK’s collective performance faltered in their final two games against GAM Esports, Fresskowy’s mechanical errors stood out in particular. The team was therefore the first to be eliminated from the Swiss Stage, posting a dismal record of zero wins and three match losses. This harsh debut on the global stage marked a difficult chapter in Fresskowy’s career, despite his earlier success in the European Regional Leagues (ERL), where he won both Superliga splits in 2023 and reached the final of the summer EMEA Masters.
