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. This announcement follows their acquisition of Rogue’s LEC slot last month, inheriting both players and staff. While expectations are understandably tempered given the late entry into the scene, the potential for a World Championship qualification remains a tantalizing possibility.
The roster reveal has generated significant buzz, especially considering NAVI CEO Yevhen Zolotarov’s earlier statement hinting at necessary changes. Many speculated about the fate of veteran mid-laner Emil "Larssen" Larsson, but the final lineup presents a fascinating blend of experience and fresh talent.
The standout addition is rookie jungler Francisco "Thayger" Sánchez, joining directly from Barça eSports after a strong performance at the EMEA Masters Spring, where he secured second place. He’ll be supported by the seasoned veterans Adam "Adam" Maanane, known for his impactful 2023 World Championship run with Team BDS, and Kim "Malrang" Geun-seong, a LEC mainstay since 2021, now transitioning to the support role. Rounding out the roster is Lee "Hans SamD" Jae-hoon, a player with prior experience in both the LCK and LPL.
