LEC Summer 2023: Teams & rosters

Although the official rosters haven’t been announced, the vast majority of LEC teams should remain unchanged from the Spring Split. One of the exceptions is Fnatic, who have to replace Martin ‘Rekkles’ Larsson in the bot lane and are also tipped to swap supports with KOI.

According to reports, Fnatic are closing in on Korean AD Carry Oh ‘Noah’ Hyeon-tae. A former KT Rolster player, Noah recently played for Zero Tenacity in Ultraliga.

EXCEL have been linked with Korean jungler Lee ‘Peach’ Min-gyu, a DRX academy graduate, to replace Andrei ‘Xerxe’ Dragomir, while Team Heretics are expected to recruit Vincent ‘Vetheo’ Berrié as their new mid laner.
