Look Sports Media – Natus Vincere (NAVI), the legendary esports organization, has finally unveiled its inaugural League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) roster for the Summer Split, commencing August 2nd. Acquiring Rogue’s LEC slot last month, NAVI inherited players and staff, setting the stage for a potentially surprising run. While expectations are understandably tempered, the possibility of a World Championship qualification remains a tantalizing prospect.
The roster announcement follows CEO Yevhen Zolotarov’s statement hinting at necessary changes. While many speculated on the retention of veteran mid-laner Emil "Larssen" Larsson, the final lineup presents a compelling mix of established talent and exciting newcomers.
The most significant addition is rookie jungler Francisco "Thayger" Sánchez, joining from Barça eSports after a strong showing at the EMEA Masters Spring, where his team reached the Grand Final. He’ll be flanked by experienced players Adam "Adam" Maanane, known for his impactful performance at the 2023 World Championship with Team BDS, and Kim "Malrang" Geun-seong, a LEC veteran since 2021 who transitions to the support role. Rounding out the roster is Lee "Hans SamD" Jae-hoon, bringing experience from both the LCK and LPL.
