The two LCS teams not making the jump into Riot Games’ bold new unified League of Legends Americas competition have reportedly been locked in, with Immortals and NRG expected to be the North American organizations making way.
While Immortals is no great surprise considering the IGC-owned team has had a languid time in the League competition since rejoining in 2019, the fact NRG are the other NA org walking away from the new league is a little more shocking. Not only did the organization only acquire the Counter Logic Gaming division (and therefore LCS slot) in 2023, but word behind the scenes has pointed to Nadeshot’s 100 Thieves being on the chopping block.
