Astralis has sold their LEC spot, which has now been acquired by Karmine Corp. Karmine Corp has been dominating the LFL for the past year, and fans are eager to see how they will fare in the LEC.

EXCEL has also undergone a metamorphosis, merging with Giants to form GIANTX. Some familiar faces, such as Odoamne, Peach, and Patrik, have remained in the active roster, while Abbedagge and LIMIT are currently teamless.
