The teams in the league have also been shuffled around as the Rogue brand has returned, Karmine Corp has joined and Giants and MAD Lions have merged with other companies forming GIANTX and MAD Lions KOI respectively.
KCorp’s LEC debut ended in disaster, however, as they didn’t win a single game until they were already eliminated from playoffs contention. It’s a sad state of affairs for an organization that was heavily hyped coming into the LEC this year, and it remains to be seen if they make changes.
With KCorp and Rogue being eliminated ahead of the Winter Split playoffs, 8 teams remain.
The LEC Winter split will be streamed live on Twitch via theofficial LEC channel.
