LoL 2025 rostermania: Every LCS, LEC & Americas roster change
Stefan Wisnoski/Riot Games2025 is a big year for Western League of Legends, with the LCS being dissolved for the sake of creating two new Americas Leagues. Things are gonna get spicy in the off-season.
- Team Vitality are reportedly replacing both their solo laners
- Zven set to return to Cloud9, except in ADC this time
- Shopify Rebellion are reportedly looking to rebuild their roster, with Fudge headlining in the top lane
A number of teams won’t survive the transition, with the South American leagues especially getting condensed. We don’t yet know which teams will be around for LoL’s new Americas structure, but there have been rumors and reports about the direction the regions are going in. We’re not likely to hear any official news until Worlds 2024 is over.
However, that doesn’t mean that the off-season hasn’t started yet. It’s already all but confirmed which teams will be leaving the LCS (soon to be North American league), and there are a ton of other roster changes that have are already being made.
Here’s every roster swap we know of so far, as well as what the final teams look like going into 2025 for both the LEC and the LCS/Americas leagues.
Which LCS teams are leaving in 2025?
Christian Betancourt/Riot GamesAccording to a report from Travis Gafford that’s been corroborated by players and staff from both orgs, NRG and Immortals are leaving the LCS. Immortals isn’t a huge surprise considering they’ve been hovering near the bottom of the LCS for the past several years, but NRG has only been back in the league for a year and a half.
Immortals have also dropped all contracts for their players and support staff, making it all but confirmed that they’ll be out of the league.
As a result, the LCS teams that’ll be moving into the new pro LoL structure are likely as follows:
- 100 Thieves
- Cloud9
- Dignitas
- FlyQuest
- Shopify Rebellion
- Team Liquid
Beyond that, it isn’t clear which teams will be repping the North or South American leagues. For now, CBLOL and LLA will be left off the list considering there’s not much information publicly available about which teams will make the cut for the South American conference or the last two spots in NA.
