Berk 'Gilius' Demir has had quite an up-and-down couple of months in the competitive League of Legends scene. The German jungler got his big break during the European Promotion/Relegation tournament where as a stand-in for Unicorns of Love, he finished third and snatched the final spot for the Promotion/Relegation games in Los Angeles. Although it was initially announced that UoL intend to keep starter Dan, Gilius joined the squad nevertheless as the former opted to stand down form the main roster.
After barely going past Millenium in a 3-2 thriller, all seemed to be going Gilius' way. Today, however, he revealed that he is no longer a starting member of the team.

The new started is former SK Gaming Prime agent - Mateusz 'Kikis' Szkudlarek. Hailed as one of the top Challenger junglers in Europe, Szkudlarek will finally be making his LCS debut as a jungler for the Unicorns of Love in 2015.
The Pole is no stranger to the competitive scene. His resume contains a total of 19 teams, with UoL being his twentieth. Since the inception of the LCS, Kikis has been a member of mostly top-tier European challenger teams. His most notable appearance was with SK Gaming Prime at the Promotion/Relegation tournament where Prime was defeated by Gambit Gaming.
