Look Sports Media – British League of Legends streamer Marc "Caedrel" Lamont has dropped a bombshell revelation regarding his incredibly successful Los Ratones team. The NLC squad, who have dominated the EMEA Tier 2 scene, winning two consecutive EMEA Masters titles – a first for a UK-registered team – have reportedly garnered significant interest from LEC teams. This interest, particularly surrounding jungler Veljko "Velja" Andrić, has led to speculation about player contracts and potential buy-out clauses. However, Caedrel has publicly stated that there are none.
Rumors circulated, initially reported on looksports.media, suggested that Velja was a potential candidate for the newly formed Natus Vincere (NAVI) LEC roster. The rookie jungler’s impressive performances fueled these reports. However, Velja himself, in a characteristically boisterous stream, claimed that three LEC teams contacted him for the Summer Split, only to be met with his refusal. He attributed his decision to his loyalty to Los Ratones and, perhaps with a touch of playful arrogance, to his exceptional skill.
Caedrel addressed the situation on his own stream, clarifying the contractual situation. He confirmed that every Los Ratones player is essentially a free agent, able to leave at any time without a buy-out clause or penalty. While he stated that, to his knowledge, all players wish to remain with Los Ratones, he emphasized his hands-off approach to any potential negotiations. He will not interfere if other teams wish to acquire Los Ratones players.

While Velja ultimately decided against a move to the LEC, his teammate, Francisco "Thayger" Mazo, has reportedly signed with NAVI, a significant acquisition for the newly established LEC team. Thayger’s impressive performances with Barça eSports undoubtedly played a key role in NAVI’s decision.
This unprecedented situation leaves the future of Los Ratones and its star players shrouded in intrigue. Will the team remain intact? Or will we see a mass exodus of talent to the LEC? Only time will tell. The implications for the competitive landscape of League of Legends are significant, and the coming weeks promise to be filled with exciting developments.
