All roster moves ahead of LEC Summer Split 2025

The League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) Summer Split 2025 is just around the corner, and several organisations have made key roster changes in preparation for the raised stakes.

The Split, scheduled from August 2nd to September 29th, sees teams push forward in the hope of qualifying for Worlds later this year. Ahead of the action, Esports Insider breaks down all the roster moves since LEC Spring 2025 ahead of the upcoming matches.

Disclaimer: If a team isn’t featured, that means the organisation has opted to stick with its current roster from the LEC 2025 Spring Split.

Natus Vincere (NAVI) acquired Rogue’s roster and its slot for the LEC Summer Split on June 13th, 2025.

In a bid to shake up the team’s form, the roster saw two departures — Lee ‘Execute’ Jeong-hoon left his support role on July 11th, alongside bot laner Patrik ‘Patrik’ Jiru.

Kim ‘Malrang‘ Geun-seong has made the surprising move to switch to the support role, leaving the jungle spot to be occupied by Barça eSports’ Francisco ‘Thayger‘ Mazo. Joining Malrang in the bot lane is Korean ADC Lee ‘Hans SamD’ Jae-hoon, formerly of LFL team Ici Japon Corp. Esport.

This is NAVI’s new roster heading into the upcoming LEC Summer Split is:

Several players have left SK Gaming to join other organisations ahead of the upcoming LEC Summer Split.

Bot laner Cho ‘Rahel’ Min-seong has joined North American esports organisation Disguised. Janik ‘JNX’ Bartels, formerly SK Gaming’s top laner, has signed for Vitality.Bee. Jungler Mehdi ‘Boukada’ Lahlou has jumped to Team BDS. Finally, SK Gaming’s mid laner Steven ‘Reeker’ Chen has left the organisation.

As such, SK Gaming come into the final split of the year with a revamped squad that looks to improve on its back-to-back ninth place finishes. South Korean top laner Park ‘DnDn’ Geun-woo comes from TCL team Eternal Fire, meanwhile, former Karmine Corp jungler Duncan ‘Skeanz’ Marquet arrives from Turkish league team SuperMassive.

A familiar face re-joins the LEC this summer split with Felix ‘Abbedagge‘ Braun coming over from LTA North’s Disguised. To conclude, former SK Gaming Prime player Tim ‘Keduii‘ Willers has been signed as the team’s new ADC.

Team BDS saw two key roster changes as it prepares for the upcoming League of Legends split. Notably, jungler Doğukan ‘113’ Balcı has moved to Barca eSports on July 12th, nearly seven months after joining the organisation, and has been replaced by SK Gaming’s Mehdi ‘Boukada‘ Lahlou.

Meanwhile, the team has opted to sign rookie South Korean top laner Shin ‘Rooster‘ Yun-hwan from HLE Challengers to replace Joel ‘Irrelevant’ Miro Scharol, who has moved to Team BDS’ inactive roster.

Alongside the major roster overhauls, organisations such as Team Vitality and Fnatic saw smaller changes by comparison. However, these moves could have significant impacts on the teams’ performances.

Yasin ‘Niqsy‘ Dinçer’s short-tenured spell as a support player has come to an end after the player has joined Karmine Corp as a substitute. In his place is Kadir ‘Fleshy‘ Kemiksiz, a player who has been promoted from Team Vitality’s academy team, Vitality.Bee.

Fnatic also experienced roster movements ahead of the LEC 2025 Summer Split.

After more than three years with the organisation, Marek ‘Humanoid’ Brázda has been placed on the inactive roster. In his place, Yun ‘Poby’ Sung-won from T1 Academy has joined to fill in the mid position.

Fnatic’s new roster:

There were some key developments within teams that saw no roster changes.

It’s important to note that G2 Esports extended its contract with long-time player Rasmus ‘Caps’ Borregaard Winther to 2027. Karmine Corp also extended Vladimiros ‘Vladi’ Kourtidis‘ contract to 2027.

These are all the organisations that have kept rosters the same ahead of LEC 2025 Summer Split:
