Aleš Kněžínek, better known as Freeze, is a Czech League of Legends player who is the AD Carry for H2k-Gaming of the European League of Legends Championship Series. He has also played for Renegades, Copenhagen Wolves, Ninjas in Pyjamas and others. He was the first Czech national to play in the LCS.
Career
With Ninjas in Pyjamas, Freeze Began his LCS career beginning in the summer split of season 3. By the end of the split, the team finished the regular season in 5th place, making it to the playoffs, where they finished 6th overall. This, unfortunately, lead Ninjas in Pyjamas to be relegated to the challenger series, where Freeze would stay for all of season 4, efore later leaving the disbanding NiP. Freeze was then picked up by the Copenhagen Wolves before beginning the season 5 spring split, where he and the team finished 6th. In the summer split of season 5, the Copenhagen Wolves were much less successful, finishing in last place, 10th, forcing them to be auto-relegated.[1] And once Freeze's contract expired and he announced his free agency on November 1, 2015.[2] He was picked up by North American team Renegades on January 6,[3][4] where he is currently playing the season 6 spring split.[5] Renagades finished 8th in the LCS, and Freeze left the team after the disappointing finish.
He joined H2k on May 8, 2016, ahead of the EU LCS Summer 2016 split, replacing FORG1VEN at AD Carry as the latter was conscripted into the Greek Army.[6][7][8][9] However, FORG1VEN later had his military service commuted, and transferred to Origen.
On July 27, 2016 H2k announced that Freeze would step away from the roster due to persistent tendonitis.[10] The team stated that FORG1VEN would take his place on the starting roster.[11]
