Worlds-bound Australian organisation PEACE have announced that former LEC toplaner Tamás ‘Vizicsacsi’ Kiss will be serving as the team’s toplaner for the tournament.
PEACE were forced to remove toplaner Yao ‘Apii’ Jian-Jing and jungle Thomas ‘LeeSa’ Ma from their Worlds roster due to circumstances related to the global health crisis.
Less than an hour later, they made the announcement that Vizicsacsi would be joining them in Iceland as a stand-in.
Vizicsacsi returns
Vizicsacsi announced in September 2021 that he was looking to make a return as a player. The iconic Hungarian toplaner had retired in 2019 and served as a positional coach for MAD Lions during the 2021 LEC Summer split.
The announcement that he would be joining PEACE came as a pleasant surprise to many in the League community, with LEC host and analyst Eefje ‘Sjokz’ Depoortere making reference to Vizicsacsi”s renowned Poppy play.
