xPeke returns as support for Origen

Esports Asia News

[hkes_show_google_ad] Enrique “xPeke” Cedeño Martínez will return to Origen’s starting roster temporarily as their support player, the team announced on Facebook Sunday. Additionally, former support player Aleksi “Hiiva” Kaikkonen has mutually parted ways from the team, declining a substitute position, according to Origen’s announcement. “The goal is not to keep xPeke for support for a long time,” the team said in their Facebook statement. “We have done some tryouts and we have several players in mind but, being in the middle of a split, it is very complicated to get the moves that we would like.” The news comes after Hiiva was removed from Origen’s roster Wednesday March 1 on both the official League of Legends esports league-recognized contract database and the matchup page for their contest against Misfits, which happened Saturday. Origen fielded xPeke and NaeHyun in their respective new roles, but lost against Misfits series 2-0, putting them at a 0-7 (0-14) record and dead last in their group. “We know that Origen is not in the situation that we would like,” the team announced, “but we are working hard to reverse the situation as much as possible and build a competitive team again.” While xPeke was traditionally a mid laner for the majority of his career, he played AD carry for Origen for a portion of the 2016 EU LCS Summer Split.
