Ackerman

Gabriel Aparicio, who goes by Ackerman in-game, is an Argentine support currently playing in the CBLOL, the top League of Legends league in Brazil. The 23-year-old suits up for LOS and brings a Latin American edge to one of the region’s most devoted and long-running competitive scenes. Still active as a pro, he keeps adding to his name on the CBLOL stage.

Signature Pick: Pyke

Ackerman’s love of Pyke says a lot about how he plays. The champion straddles the line between support and assassin, which sets him apart from nearly everyone else in the role. Instead of growing into a traditional protector, Pyke turns bonus health into raw attack damage, and his execute ultimate can reset and share gold with his allies. Handling him well means thinking like a roamer and striking like a hunter: hooking targets, slipping through fog of war, and finishing off weakened enemies for kills.

A support who reaches for Pyke tends to be an aggressive, roam-first player. Rather than parking beside his carry, he looks to win numbers fights across the map, punish enemies who overextend, and convert small errors into major leads. The approach carries real risk, but when it lands it can win a game on its own.

Flying the Latin American Flag

Playing for a Brazilian league as an Argentine places Ackerman within the rapidly connected Latin American esports scene. The CBLOL is famous for its loud, energetic fanbase and for producing squads that have caught the world off guard on the international stage. Winning a starting spot in such a league is a major achievement, showing both skill and the capacity to adjust to fierce competition.

The support role he occupies anchors a team’s early game, shaping vision control and deciding how bot-lane fights begin. His attraction to a mechanically taxing, aggressive champion like Pyke points to a player who welcomes pressure and does his best work when given room to create plays.

Going forward, Ackerman’s upside rests on consistency and on how well he gels with the LOS roster. If he keeps landing impactful roams and clutch executions, he has the makings of a support capable of lifting his team’s position in the CBLOL. For viewers who enjoy fast, playmaking support play, he is a competitor worth keeping an eye on.
