Aphromoo


Zaqueri Black, better known by his in-game name Aphromoo, is an American professional League of Legends player who is the support for Dignitas of the League of Legends Championship Series. Aphromoo won the 2018 Spring Split MVP award, the first time it had gone to a support player.

Career

Aphromoo played for a number of teams in the early years of professional League from 2011 to 2012. During this period, he also played the AD Carry bottom lane position. He still rarely subs over to this role, but switched to Support in 2013 when he joined Counter Logic Gaming, the team he would be closely identified with for a long time. Aphromoo played for CLG in the spring split of 2013 as well as from 2014 to 2017, during which he supported AD Carries Doublelift and later Stixxay. CLG would go on to win the 2015 NALCS Summer Split as well as the 2016 NALCS Spring Split. CLG also attended the League of Legends World Championship in 2015 and 2016, albeit with mixed results.
After a weaker performance for CLG in 2017, where CLG lost out the 3rd and final North American invitation to Worlds to Cloud9 in a tiebreaker match, Aphromoo left CLG in November 2017. He joined 100 Thieves, a new team made after the NALCS adopted a new franchising system. Aphromoo's veteran leadership and strong individual performance was credited as major reasons behind 100 Thieves' success; they placed 1st in the NALCS in regular season, and took 2nd place overall after the playoffs. This helped Aphromoo win the MVP award, despite the position of Support usually being neglected in this vote since the MVP award started in 2014.
