UPDATE Jan. 14, 2022: Genesis 8 has been postponed due to COVID-19 concerns until at least April 15.
With their rosters both set, let’s stack these two teams up, and decide which one is more likely to find success in the LEC.
Here are Inven Global's rankings of the best supports competing in the 2022 LEC season.
The 2022 preseason for League of Legends esports has already begun, even ahead of its official start on Nov. 15. With this page, Inven Global will track all known, reported, and confirmed roster changes to the teams of the four major regions: the LCS, LEC, LCK, and LPL.
Wunder is the new starting top laner for Fnatic, Rekkles was acquired by Karmine Corp after multiple reductions to his initial buyout price. Grabbz is the new head coach for Team BDS, and earlier today, Nelson was signed by Excel Esports.
Here are Inven Global's ranking of the best top laners for the 2022 LEC Spring Season.
Let's take a look at the starting rosters for the ten teams who will be competing in the 2022 LEC Spring Split.
UPDATE Jan. 8: A few days after the LEC confirmed that the 2022 season was starting online due ot COVID-19 concerns, the LCS has followed suit.
UPDATE Dec. 20: Team BDS have finalized their 2022 LEC roster after signing GrabbZ and Duffman as head coach and head analyst.
Fnatic have confirmed the signings of former G2 Esports top laner Wunder and former Misfits jungler Razork following reports.
The laning trio will join support Labrov and jungler Selfmade, the latter of whom was acquired by VIT from Fnatic before the start of the 2021 LEC Summer Split.
G2 Esports have confirmed that their roster will be rounded out with top laner Sergen "Broken Blade" Çelik, AD carry Victor "Flakked" Lirola and support Raphaël "Targamas" Crabbé.
The signings were announced by MAD Lions shortly after the departure of Carzzy, who has reportedly signed a 3-year deal to be the new AD carry of Team Vitality.
Inspired will be taking over the starting position previously platooned by Dennis "Svenskeren" Johnsen and Juan "Contractz" Garcia, the latter of whom has been signed by Counter Logic Gaming.
Nisqy took to Twitter himself to state that the buyout negotiations were not the only factor in what has resulted in his teamlessness regarding competitive play for the 2022 season.
UPDATE Nov. 15: During the Dot Esports League of Legends Free Agency Show, Jacob Wolf stated that the clause in Perkz's buyout contract from G2 Esports to Cloud9 that prohibits Fnatic from signing Perkz through 2023 was signed by both G2 & C9, but not Perkz himself.
It has been just over a month since G2 Esports announced they were benching Martin "Rekkles" Larsson and putting up his contract for a potential buyout, but it seems that the team is having trouble moving the elite AD carry.
Because of Nisqy’s lasting until Nov 20, 2023, he will need a team to buyout his contract for the remaining years.
Coaches James "Mac" MacCormack and Patrick "Pad" Suckow-Breum have extended their contracts to the end of 2023, while analyst Carlos "Aagie" Carpio Cuenca has done the same.
According to a report by Upcomer, Gabriël "Bwipo" Rau has made a verbal agreement to compete with Team Liquid for the upcoming 2022 LCS season.
