Sources: HeSSZero reaches verbal agreement with ZETA

Top Laner Paweł "HeSSZero" Karwot has reached a verbal agreement with ZETA to compete in the LVP Superliga, sources tell Sheep Esports on Monday.

Dealt an unfortunate situation in the spring split, the Polish top laner was one of the shining lights and consistent members of Iron Wolves in the Ultraliga, despite several match-fixing allegations plaguing other members of his former team.

Despite being one of the Ultraliga's most promising top laners, HeSSZero's spring season was unfortunately marred by unexpected circumstances outside of the player's control.

Entering 2024 as one of the biggest question marks in the Ultraliga, Iron Wolves began the year by importing two untested Chinese rookies to its roster, aiming to shake up the league and assert itself at the top. However, the end result spelled a 6th-place finish and temporary suspensions for the Chinese duo amidst match-fixing allegations.

Nevertheless, the Polish top laner continued to prove himself as a solid player, despite competing within a dysfunctional roster. One of his most memorable games came against ESCA Gaming, where he ended up backdooring his opponents and finished with a 13/3/6 scoreline on Gwen, while two of his teammates repeatedly made mistakes that were later used in the match-fixing allegation case against them.

The Ultraliga and Iron Wolves eventually reinstated the two players, as there was not enough evidence to prove with certainty that they had participated in match-fixing.

Now joining the Superliga, HeSSZero is set to become the latest member to join the Spanish organization. Paired with strong veterans such as Amadeu "Attila" Dias de Carvalho and Prodromos "Pretty" Kevezitidis, the top laner will face all-new challenges as he competes within a major regional league for the first time in his career.

While the player remains an unknown factor for the squad, it is important to note that he has consistently been one of the most promising top laners in his region. He has attended the EMEA Masters on two occasions in the past and has also maintained high ranks on the solo queue ladder.

With these changes, ZETA now expects to contend for the top spots in the league, aiming to improve on its 10th-place finish during the spring split. For the Zaragoza-based organization, the only way to go is up in the summer season.
