Who will be in the LEC next season? The Astralis slot, in the European League of Legends championship, is on sale and several teams are currently in discussions for a takeover. According Upcomer, the suitors are (logically) numerous and everything could be played between three names: the Karmine Corp.which has never hidden, since its creation, its desire to reach the top of the regional hierarchy as quickly as possible, Natus Vincere, or an NA organization, Team SoloMid.
According to information from LEC_Wooloo, if Astralis agrees to sell its place, Riot will still have to validate this change, and everything must be done before September of this year. In this list, the KC is arguably the most likely to pick up the slot. NaVi has the advantage of having a huge fanbase, but does not yet have a League of Legends presence. The Ukrainian team would thus want to take a giant step on this esport scene.
If sold, it would be a second big change for the LEC next season. In effect, Team Heretics has just acquired the slot from Misfits Gaming for around $35 million.. The Karmine Corp was already a contender. The departure of Astralis would also be a sad disappearance, the team having taken over the colors of Origen, a historic formation in Europe. A logical decision that said: for two seasons, the training is confined to the last places.
