Look Sports Media – The Northern League of Legends Championship (NLC) has unveiled its broadcast talent lineup for the Summer Split, a roster boasting familiar faces and exciting new additions. Returning favorites include the ever-popular Jake "Hiprain" Matthews, fresh off the NLC Spring Finals in Copenhagen. He’ll be joined by former LEC caster Samuel "Initialise" Hapgood, Adrian "Jamada" Wharlton-Thorne (formerly of the LPL), and Adam "Eragon" Harney, creating a dream team of British broadcasting talent. Initialise’s recent success casting the LEC Spring Playoffs alongside Alex "Nymaera" Hapgood only adds to the anticipation.
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, the NLC is experiencing a significant roster shakeup. Teams are scrambling to finalize their lineups for the final split of the season, with some already making major announcements. Nord Esports, for example, have welcomed Artur "Zwyroo" Trojan, Gian "Hid0" Caruana, and Erik "Treatz" Wessén, while their former bot laner, Nihat "Innaxe" Aliev, is taking a competitive break. Verdant has also undergone a near-complete roster overhaul, bringing in Enzo "SLT" Gonzalez, Daniel "D4nKa" Golzmann, Nam "Devn" Nguyen, and Tore "Tore" Eilertsen. Bulldog Esports, meanwhile, has added Julien "Artanis" Poisson and Julien "Dream" Jasses, as confirmed by co-owner Alex "Jolly" Jolly. The remaining teams are keeping their cards close to their chests, leaving fans to speculate, particularly regarding the future of Los Ratones, whose owner, Marc "Caedrel" Lamont, has hinted at potential roster changes.
The NLC 2025 Summer Split is set to kick off later this month with the Summer Seeding, determining playoff placements. The Grand Finals will be held in Stockholm, Sweden, following the success of the Spring Finals in Copenhagen. Los Ratones, fresh off their NLC and EMEA Masters Spring titles, are the early favorites, closely followed by Nord Esports, a consistent NLC finals contender. British teams like Ruddy Sack and Verdant will be looking to build on their Spring Playoff performances. The stage is set for an electrifying summer of League of Legends competition.
