NLC Spring 2022 roster roundup for Division 1 and Division 2

The NLC is back! Competitive League of Legends returned to the UK, Ireland and Nordics this week as the first Division 1 Spring 2022 games kicked off.

After a long off-season, which got the NLC community talking, saw prizing revealed and the NLC 2022 casters announced, Megalodontus rounds up all the teams and players in NLC Division 1 and 2.

NLC Division 1 teams and rosters

After Freaks 4U Gaming took on NLC organising duties from DreamHack, it ran a calibration tournament to determine which ten teams would reach Division 1, which has a single group.

Many teams from last summer have gone, notably Fnatic Rising, Godsent, Galaxy Racer, KOVA Esports, Nordavind (now 00 Nation), Tricked Esport (NLC summer champions), Resolve and Granit Gaming. However, some newcomers have joined, like X7 and Astralis Talent.

The NLC also recently announced Kit Kat will be returning as an official partner of the ERL.

These are the 10 teams that will be in Division 1 for Spring 2022:

After some changes, the final teams for 2022 are now set! In Division 1, look forward to: @EXCEL @dustyiceland @SNG_Esports @RiddleEsports @Astralisgg @X7_Esports @VanirGG @MNMGaming @NYYRIKKIesports @Bifrost pic.twitter.com/zuaxdp4WoE

NLC Division 2 teams and rosters

Teams that didn’t make the cut in the Division 1 calibration tournament also got to try their hand at qualifying for Division 2, since the Telia Leagues and the UKLC system have been revamped/combined into Division 2.

While Nox Esports have recently announced they will be ceasing all operations and we have yet to see who takes over (and several team rosters are to be confirmed), these are the current teams for Division 2. We’ll update this article when the confirmed rosters are announced.

And of course, we are also very excited about the teams in Division 2: @LDNUTD @DominoEsports @Verdant_gg @NoxEsportsUK @NativzGG @MunsterRGaming @LightsideSWE @Floengesports @Lucent_Esports @AaBesport pic.twitter.com/UFB0LTfmw7

(Nox’s replacement)

Nox Esports have ceased operations but it seems their roster is sticking together. However, they are entering the Division 2 matches without an team or sponsor at this point of time.

The #orgless Boys deserve more love!

Since I did not see any team announcement posts for them, I guess I will do an unofficial one:
