The whole EMEA scene will change – follow the roster swaps with the LEC Roster Tracker!
Even though the 2023 League of Legends World Championship is still on, many teams have started to get ready for the 2024 season. Even though most of the roster changes are rumours, there are some changes that are all but confirmed such as Vulcan and Jojopyun joining Cloud9 in the LCS. Still these rumours come from trustworthy sources such as LEC Woolo, anonimotum and ExpressLOL.
This article will be updated as new roster changes and rumours release.
LEC Roster Tracker and Rumours
Astralis
Astralis Confirmed Changes
The only confirmed change for Astralis at the moment is that Turkish jungler, 113 has left the organization on October 23rd, leaving the team without a jungler. This leaves Finn. LIDER, Kobbe and JeongHoon in the active roster, meaning that we could see them play again.
Astralis Roster
- Finn “Finn” Wiestál
- Adam “LIDER” Ilyasov
- Kasper “Kobbe” Kobberup
- Lee “JeongHoon” Jeong-hoon
Astralis Rumours
There have been no rumours about the team’s roster, but the Danish esports organization might sell their LEC spot after 2 seasons. They seem to have found a buyer in one of the most popular EMEA orgs, Karmine Corp, who were looking to buy into the LEC’s franchise system last year, but were unable to do so. If Karmine Corp joins the league, they would need a completely new roster – and due to the LEC changing the minimum age to compete to 18, they couldn’t promote their star player, Caliste.
Excel Esports
Excel Esports Confirmed Changes
Excel Esports haven’t changed anything in their roster as of now, but on October 27th, they extended their ADC’s contrant, meaning that Patrik should be playing for them until 2025. LIMIT’s and Abbedagge’s contracts will expire at the end of this year, while Peach and Odoamne should be staying until 2024.
Excel Esports Roster
- Andrei “Odoamne” Pascu
- Lee “Peach” Min-gyu
- Felix “Abbedagge” Braun
- Patrik “Patrik” Jírú

Fnatic
Fnatic Confirmed Changes
Outside of Wunder’s temporary substitute status ending on September 27th and a roleswapped Rekkles leaving the team officially on October 12th, Fnatic haven’t made any changes to their team. Even though they didn’t have an outstanding performance at Worlds, the same roster could very well be fielded in 2024.
Fnatic Roster
- Óscar “Oscarinin” Munóz Jiménez
- Iván “Razork” Martín Díaz
- Marek “Humanoid” Brázda
- Oh “Noah” Hyeon-taek
- Adrian “Trymbi” Trybus

KOI
KOI Confirmed Changes
While the roster of the team didn’t change yet, the structure of KOI has been drastically altered. Ibai Llanos, the streamer and founder of the organization decided to part ways with Infinite Reality, former owners of Rogue and current owners of KOI. This means that KOI is now in the hands of Infinite Reality, but there’s no reports of Rogue returning or a new partnership.
KOI Roster
- Mathias “Szygenda” Jensen
- Kim “Malrang” Geun-seong
- Emil “Larssen” Larsson
- Markos “Comp” Stamkopoulos
- Henk “Advienne” Reijenga
KOI Rumours
According to LEC Woolo, midlaner Larssen might not play for KOI next year. The Swedish midlaner reportedly had a verbal agreement with KOI to extend his contract for the 2024 season, but has been exploring his options since the end of the LEC. KOI had an underwhelming year, which could mean that some changes are inbound for the organization in their LoL Roster as well as their structure.
MAD Lions
MAD Lions Confirmed Changes
There’s only one change confirmed for MAD Lions so far: Pad, the team’s Strategic Coach who helped the squad at Worlds as a Head Coach due to Mac not being able to attend the event has left the team on October 28th.
MAD Lions Roster
- Kim “Chasy” Dong-hyeon
- Javier “Elyoya” Prades Batalla
- Yasin “Nisqy” Dincer
- Matyás “Carzzy” Orság
- Zdravets “Hylissang” Iliev Galabov
MAD Lions Rumours
MAD Lions had their fair share of leaks and reports in the past few weeks. First, there have been reports that MAD could join forces with Spanish organization Movistar Riders in a joint venture for 2024. Due to this, all the staff of the org has been allowed to explore their options.
In terms of players, two ERL players, Supa and Alvaro has been reported to reach verbal agreements with the team to be their new botlane. The Spanish players played for Movistar, which seems to confirm the merger between the teams. They reached the Grand Final of the 2023 Summer EMEA Masters earlier this year.
From the current roster, Elyoya seems to be the only one who is all but confirmed to stay. The Spanish jungler has been the centrepiece for the team for a few seasons now, and with the Spanish players joining, he could lead the charge to the top.
SK Gaming
SK Gaming Confirmed Changes
So far, no changes have been confirmed for the German organization, but Sertuss’ and Doss’ contracts are expiring at the end of the season.
SK Gaming Roster
- Joel “Irrelevant” Miro Scharoll
- Mark “Markoon” van Woensel
- Daniel “Sertuss” Gamani
- Thomas “Exakick” Foucou
- Mads “Doss” Schwartz
SK Gaming Rumours
Movistar Riders’ 2023 jungler, Isma is reportedly joining SK Gaming, which would mean that Markoon is getting benched. Isma made it to the EMEA Masters Summer Final, and was expected in the LEC even last year, so it’s high time he joined the League.
Team BDS
Team BDS Confirmed Changes
The only confirmed change for Team BDS is that the team’s Head Coach, GotoOne left the team on November 3rd, while Striker, the former Assistant Coach has been promoted to Head Coach.
Team BDS Roster

- Labros “Labrov” Papoutsakis
Team BDS Rumours
The one rumour regarding Team BDS has caused some controversy: reportedly, Crownie won’t be a part of the team even though his contract was extended through 2024 back in July – but the player didn’t know about the change before it got leaked. Nothing is confirmed yet.
