Look Sports Media – The 2026 NLC season is already generating unprecedented buzz, thanks to an audacious roster announcement from renowned League of Legends streamer Maksymilian "Drututt" Przychodzie. His newly formed team, provocatively named "4 SWINES & A BUM," promises to inject a potent mix of competitive ambition, content creation, and sheer unpredictability into the EMEA Regional League for the UK and Nordic countries. This revelation comes at a crucial time for the NLC, still reeling from the departure of three-time champions Los Ratones, leaving a void that Drututt’s unique approach might just fill.
At the heart of this unconventional lineup is the shocking inclusion of Swedish streamer Brandon "Forsen" Wolfgang as the team’s jungler. Forsen, primarily known for his content creation, currently holds a Platinum 3 rank – a stark contrast to the competitive landscape he’s about to enter. This ranking is several tiers below the Diamond 3 minimum requirement stipulated by Riot Games for NLC competitors. As NLC caster Adrian "Jamada" Wharlton-Thorne highlighted, Forsen faces the daunting task of gaining approximately 1,000 League Points in a remarkably short timeframe to meet eligibility criteria, setting up an immediate narrative of challenge and doubt.
Despite the eyebrow-raising pick, Drututt himself stands as a formidable force. The Polish content creator is a Challenger-ranked player, having achieved the rare feat in 2025 of reaching Challenger in all five roles on the EUW server – only the second player ever to do so. This incredible accomplishment, taking 1570 games, underscores his deep understanding and mastery of the game, lending a degree of credibility to his bold claims that "The pro leagues are not ready for us" and that he’s assembled the "BEST and MOST stacked roster up to date."

Drututt’s strategy appears to mirror the content-driven team model previously seen in the NLC, notably with Marc "Caedrel" Lamont. His roster features a surprising number of veterans lured out of retirement. Most notably, North American mid-lane maestro Eugene "Pobelter" Park, a three-time LCS champion, is making an unexpected return. Despite previously turning down offers, including one from Disguised, Pobelter will now compete from the US, facing the significant hurdle of high ping – a challenge that adds another layer of intrigue to "4 SWINES & A BUM."
Joining Pobelter is former LEC ADC Jakob "Jackspektra" Gullvag Kepple, who also previously declined an NLC opportunity to focus on his broadcast career. His return signals a renewed competitive drive. Rounding out this eclectic mix is Cloud9’s positional coach, Marius "Veigar v2" Aune, stepping into the support role.
This audacious blend of amateur talent, seasoned professionals, and content creators sets the stage for a truly captivating NLC season. Whether Drututt’s gamble on "4 SWINES & A BUM" will translate into competitive success or simply provide unparalleled entertainment remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the NLC will be anything but boring in 2026.
