The Arozzi Northern League of Legends Championship NLC 2025 Spring season initial dates, schedule and seeding stage groups have been confirmed.
The NLC Spring split starts on Wednesday April 2nd 2025 with the seeding stage, following this week’s team roster locks.
Like the NLC Winter 2025 season schedule, the Spring season will begin with two seeding stage groups: Group A and Group B.
Group A will consist of NLC Winter 2025 champions Los Ratones, along with Verdant, Rich Gang, Kaos and Venomcrest.
Group B, meanwhile, will be filled by Nord, Bulldog, The Ruddy Sack, Lundqvist Lightside and DMG Esports. This means we’ll get another Ruddy vs Bulldog match in what Bulldog is calling ‘the Bullsack Derby’.
NLC tournament organiser Leagues Media told Esports News UK that a more detailed schedule for the Spring seeding stage will be out in the next few days.
Update: It’s been published below.
