After two splits in LTA North, Abbedagge returns to Europe and makes his comeback to the LEC after two years.

Felix "Abbedagge" Braun is set to join SK Gaming in the LEC for the Summer Split, replacing Steven "RKR" Chen in the midlane, according to Sheep Esports sources. The German midlaner spent both splits of the 2025 season with Disguised in LTA North, where the team finished in the bottom eight on both occasions.

Abbedagge was one of the few midlaners available this offseason without a buyout. As previously reported by Sheep Esports, SK Gaming’s offseason options were limited by budget constraints.

Two bottom-place finishes for SK

As previously reported by Sheep Esports, SK Gaming allowed their solo laners, Janik "JNX" Bartels and RKR, to explore their options without officially confirming their departure. For Summer, those positions will be filled by Park "DnDn" Geun-woo in the toplane, as previously reported by Sheep Esports, and Abbedagge in mid.

SK Gaming’s Winter Split in the LEC didn’t go as planned, ending the group stage with a 1–8 record and their only win coming against Rogue, with both teams failing to reach playoffs that split. Changes were made heading into Spring, with Mehdi "Boukada" Lahlou and Tim "Keduii" Willers joining the lineup. While the team showed some improvement by securing two wins in their first four best-of-threes, they quickly fell back into old habits, losing five straight series and once again missing playoffs. Of the roster that started the year with SK, only Korean support Kim "Loopy" Dong-hyeon remains for the Summer Split.

A long-standing career for the midlaner

Abbedagge is a well-known figure in the European scene. He began his career locally in Germany with Mysterious Monkeys, where he notably played alongside Sergen "BrokenBlade" Çelik. He then had short stints in the Turkish league (TCL) with Galatasaray Esports and Royal Bandits before finally making it to Europe's Tier 1 with FC Schalke 04 Esports in 2019. He spent two and a half years there, with the team securing a top 3 finish in the Summer Split of his debut year, but falling short of Worlds qualification after placing third in the Regional Finals.

Abbedagge then moved to 100 Thieves in the LCS, where he won the 2021 LCS Championship and made his first international appearance at the 2021 World Championship. He returned to Worlds in 2022 after 100 Thieves finished second in the Summer Split. The German midlaner later came back to the LEC with Excel Esports. While the Spring Split was disappointing, Summer was a complete turnaround, as Excel reached the LEC final before falling 3–0 to G2 Esports.

Abbedagge then returned to the ERLs, joining Karmine Corp Blue in the LFL. Most recently, in 2025, he played for Disguised in LTA North, but the team finished last in the league in both splits. He now returns to Europe intending to get SK back on track and deliver a strong Summer Split.
