FORG1VEN

Konstantinos-Napoleon Tzortziou , better known by his in-game name FORG1VEN, is a Greek retired professional League of Legends player. He played as an AD Carry for Intrepid Fox Gaming. He earlier played for Copenhagen Wolves, SK Gaming, Gambit Gaming, H2k-Gaming, Origen, and Schalke 04.

FORG1VEN was considered to be among the best Western players of the AD Carry/Marksman role in League history, and one of the game's most mechanically skilled players. He was the MVP of the 2015 Spring EU LCS and a semifinalist of the 2016 World Championship.

He hails from the town of Prosotsani, but has lived in Kavala for most of his life.

FORG1VEN was also the captain of the Greek national Counter-Strike team in 2012.

Career

Copenhagen Wolves From 2013 to 2015 FORG1VEN played with the Copenhagen Wolves.

SK Gaming

In spring 2015, FORG1VEN played for SK Gaming, then the top European team for most of that season. However, after claims of mismanagement and worsening relations with teammates, he was replaced on the active roster by Adrian "CandyPanda" Wübbelmann. On 24 August 2015, Gambit Gaming replaced FORG1VEN as AD Carry for the 2016 EU LCS Spring Promotion with Kristoffer "P1noy" Albao Lund Pedersen.

H2k-Gaming

Gambit Gaming subsequently sold its spot in the LCS to Team Vitality, and FORG1VEN received offers from other LCS teams before joining H2k-Gaming.

According to former H2k teammate Jankos, even though FORG1VEN was a skilled player with good mechanics, he took losses against teams with players he considered inferior, such as Rekkles and negatively impacted the squad's teamwork by blaming his teammates. In April 2016, FORG1VEN left H2k.

Origen

FORG1VEN joined Origen in May 2016 for that year's Summer EU LCS, but his individualistic, communication-heavy playstyle clashed with fellow star player Glenn "Hybrid" Doornenbal's team-oriented style, which led to poor results for Origen in the first week. On June 7, FORG1VEN announced that he was planning to stop playing League of Legends because of a lack of motivation and a preference for playing Overwatch. He characterized his experience with Origen management as a "breach of trust".

Return to H2k-Gaming

In July 2016, FORG1VEN returned to H2k-Gaming as a substitute. They were placed in Group C and took 1st place after defeating Chinese champions Edward Gaming in a tiebreaker, qualifying to the quarterfinals. At the quarterfinals, they swept Albus NoX Luna, the LoL Continental League champions, 3 – 0. The team was eliminated by Samsung Galaxy 3–0 in the semifinals.

Return to Different Dimension On 31 March 2017, Different Dimension announced the return of FORG1VEN as their Marksman. They participated in the LoL Greek Championship Season 2, finishing 4th in the regular season with 10 wins and 4 losses, qualifying for the playoffs. There, they beat Team Arsenal 3–0 in the quarterfinals, lost to eventual champions Greek Regenesis 3–1 in the semifinals, and lost to defending champions Instinct Esports 2–0 in the third place match, finishing 4th overall.

During FORG1VEN's stint, the team also participated in the ESL South East Europe Championship Season 5. After sweeping the group stage by winning all 5 games, they qualified to the LAN finals in Bulgaria. There, 2 consecutive 2–0 sweeps, first against Serbian team Instinct eSports in the semifinals and then again against Bulgarian team GPlay.bg in the final, crowned Different Dimension as the winners, without losing a single game.

WLGaming Shortly after the end of LoL Greek Championship Season 2, WLGaming announced FORG1VEN as part of their roster for the GameAthlon 4 LAN tournament. They won the tournament, defeating Panathinaikos eSports 2–1 in the final.

Return to Origen FORG1VEN rejoined Origen to participate in the newly founded EU Masters competition in 2018. Despite losing their first game in the tournament, Origen recovered and were crowned champions after sweeping IlluminaR Gaming 3–0 at the grand final in Leicester.

Schalke 04 On 9 November 2019, he became the starting AD Carry of Schalke 04 for 2020 after completing his mandatory military service in Greece in April 2019.
