Lore & Background
Abbedagge joined Schalke 04 as a rookie mid laner for the 2019 Spring LEC, signing alongside veterans Vizicsacsi, Memento, and IgNar. The team finished seventh place with a 9–9 record, barely missing playoffs. In the 2019 Summer LEC, Schalke signed Trick to replace Memento, and the team finished fourth place with an 11–7 record, qualifying for playoffs. After defeating Team Vitality and Rogue, they were swept by Fnatic in the third round. In the 2020 LEC season, Schalke performed erratically, coming in 8th place in the Spring Split. In the Summer Split, they started with a poor 1 win and 10 loss record, on the verge of being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. However, with Abbedagge in mid lane and adjustments to jungle and bot lane positions, the team mounted a dark horse "miracle run," winning their remaining 7 games to narrowly qualify for 6th place and the playoffs. In the playoffs, they defeated SK Gaming but were defeated by the MAD Lions. After the season, Abbedagge left for 100 Thieves.
In Their Own Story
The 2020 LEC Summer Split was nearly over for Schalke 04. With a 1 win and 10 loss record, the team was on the verge of being mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. But then, something shifted. With Abbedagge holding down the mid lane, substitute jungler Gilius, top laner Odoamne, and new bot laners Neon and Dreams, the team won out their remaining 7 games. The crowd's roar grew with each victory as Schalke narrowly qualified for 6th place and the playoffs. In the playoffs, they defeated SK Gaming before falling to the MAD Lions. The miracle run was over, but Abbedagge's performance had caught the attention of other teams, and he left for 100 Thieves after the season concluded.
