Mercato LoL: Akabane and the KCORP toplaner in NLC?

The League of Legends transfer window can sometimes be cruel for some players. On the LEC side, this is particularly the case for Elias “Upset” Lippwho will be on the Fnatic bench in 2023 when he is clearly one of the best at his job. At a lower level, it is Philip “Akabane” The who found himself without an LFL team for 2023 as he exitsa very convincing Summer Split with GameWard.

If we could think that he was going to wait to bounce back in the Summer Split, it is not so since according to Wooloo, the Frenchman would have found a project on the side of the NLC. Indeed, the transfer window insider revealed thatAkabane is expected to join the ranks of NORD Esports, one of the new league structures. To accompany it, we find some interesting names including that of Wao “Wao” Daicurrent substitute toplaner for the Karmine Corp. If we don’t really know his level in competition yet, he will certainly bring a fanbase behind him and has interesting potential.

In addition to the two Frenchmen, we should find two LEC alumni on the botlane with Paweł “Woolite” Pruski and Raymond “kaSing” Tsang. The latter were both looking for a new structure following at the respective departures of the esport on League of Legends of Misfitswho left his place in LFL, and X7, a victim of a struggling global economy. To see how they will bounce back but they have achieved honorable performances and will form a formidable duo in NLC.

To conclude this roster, we will find on the midlane Mike “Furuy” Willwhich comes from Bifrost. If he is not necessarily known by French fans, he notably finished NLC Spring Split Finalist this year and played the quarter-finals of the European Masters, defeated by AGO Rogue, still in the Spring Split. Finally, in the coaching staff, there are two well-known names on the French scene since Malaury “Malau” Restouble and Nicholas “Nicholas Perez” Perez will be the members of the coaching staff. These two Frenchmen have been training together for several years and some successful passages on the side of the Kameto Corp, now Karmine Corp, and GameWard This year.
