The competitive League of Legends scene is undergoing significant changes in 2025. With the LCS officially dissolved and replaced by two new leagues under the LTA (League of the Americas), the offseason is heating up with a wave of roster updates and organizational shake-ups.
Key Changes in LoL Rosters for 2025
One of the most notable developments is Zeus leaving T1, marking the end of their back-to-back Worlds championship roster. Zeus has switched places with Doran, who now joins T1 while Zeus moves to Hanwha Life Esports.
Movistar KOI made headlines by parting ways with Fresskowy after failing to qualify for Worlds 2024. Their public plea for jojopyun to join them surprisingly paid off, as the North American mid-laner is now part of the roster.
In a historic move, Ceos has joined Shopify Rebellion, becoming the first Brazilian player imported to North America’s top-tier league.
Additionally, the LTA merger has led to the consolidation of South American leagues, with several teams unable to make the cut. This transition has significantly reshaped the competitive landscape in the Americas.
Highlights from Other Regions
While LTA teams are adapting to the merger, other regions are also witnessing massive roster changes:
- LCK:
Almost every team in Korea’s LCK is revamping its lineup. T1’s changes stand out, but other notable moves include Gen.G securing Canyon and Ruler, and Hanwha Life Esports signing Zeus. - LEC:
Europe’s LEC is seeing rapid shifts, with G2 Esports breaking apart their roster, while organizations like Fnatic and Movistar KOI are making aggressive moves to strengthen their lineups. - LPL:
In China, new salary cap rules are forcing organizations to rethink their strategies, leading to a flurry of roster reshuffles. Teams like JD Gaming, Weibo Gaming, and Invictus Gaming are making major changes.
