The toplane pool is now completed in the LFL. BDS Academy have reached a verbal agreement with Alexandre "Hiro" El Hodebey, sources tell Sheep Esports on Monday. With this move, BDSA only need to lock a jungler and the LFL offseason will be 100% complete.

Hiro was chosen over other possibilities such as Mohamed "Boda" Yahia for the position. The French toplaner will be joining the team after a year in the Arabian League with One More Esports. Despite rather disappointing results with a back-to-back seventh place, Hiro made sure to remind the French scene not to count him out upon his return home. By participating in French tournaments and the French SoloQ Challenge organisez by streamer Jean "Trayton" Medzadourian, Hiro gained appreciation from several fans.

A young team

After winning both LFL and EMEA Masters this Summer, BDSA return to the LFL with various fresh faces. Joining Hiro will be midlaner Tautvydas "Toffe" Gegeckas and botlaner Kamil "Piwek" Staroń. All three will be making their LFL debuts next season.
