UK League of Legends 2021 spring roster roundup: NLC, UKLC and UKEL teams and casters listed
Now that 2020 is over and a new League of Legends season has begun, it’s back to the core business at hand which is the glorious return of competitive LoL in the UK.
With the NLC’s premier system and ecosystem returning to the fold, viewers are blessed with three tiers of competition once again: the upper-tier NLC, mid-tier UKLC and lower-tier UKEL. Megalodontus gathers all the roster reveals for 2021 in one handy article.
Casters for the NLC, UKLC and UKEL
We see the return of our usual suspects plus one familiar face in Jamada, who was invited to cast the NLC Fall Open most recently.
Aux announced that he would be stepping down from casting the UKLC, which means Hiprain and Jamada will be leading the helm instead.
The UKEL has expanded its broadcast team for 2021. With familiar faces returning, the UKEL has also added Godsent head coach Jon Ellis and Guild Esports director of esports Grant Rousseau.
With the casters list finalised, all that’s left are the teams themselves.
