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:

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
