Los Ratones, created by British streamer Marc ‘Caedrel’ Lamont, could earn their third NLC League of Legends title this weekend.

The NLC Summer 2025 finals will be held in Stockholm, Sweden as part of the Leagues Disrupt event.

Over 5,000 fans are expected at the Hovet Arena for the event on Saturday, August 30th.

The finals will see Los Ratones defend their NLC title against fellow British organisation, Verdant.

Los Ratones are heavy favourites to win the NLC again on LoL betting sites.

However, Verdant should not be underestimated.

Verdant earned their place in the final after an impressive lower-bracket run.

They defeated DMG Esports, Rich Gang, and the stacked roster of NORD Esports to book a match with Los Ratones.

Los Ratones have some big names, including Juš ‘Crownie’ Marušič and Martin ‘Rekkles’ Larrson, but Verdant have LEC experience too.

Enzo ‘SLT’ Gonzalez, Chres ‘Sencux’ Laursen, and Tore ‘Tore’ Hoel Eilertsen complete a strong line-up looking to upset Caedrel’s team.

Doors open at 2:30pm local time before the NLC final kick-offs at 5pm (4pm BST).

The team, made up of streamers, promising talent, and former LEC pros, have had an incredible season.

Los Ratones have won both splits of the NLC, the LoL tournament for the UK and Nordics, this year.

They also became the only UK-based team to have ever LoL EMEA Masters. And in fact, Los Ratones have won EMEA Masters twice in a row and could complete a spectacular three-peat.

However, there is a chance Los Ratones may skip EMEA Masters Summer to bootcamp LoL Worlds teams.

Because of the EMEA Masters final clashing with LoL Worlds, Caedrel is considering not attending the event.

While Caedrel hasn’t announced a final decision, the popular co-streamer is hoping Los Ratones could bootcamp in China or Korea.

Los Ratones have already faced international teams, having scrimmed with GAM Esports after MSI earlier this year.

K-pop group PRIMROSE to perform at Leagues Disrupt

As part of the festivities, NLC Leagues Disrupt will feature a live music performance from PRIMROSE.

PRIMROSE are a K-pop girl group who have built up a dedicated fan base in Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia.

Apparently, PRIMROSE were the first K-pop group to film a music video in Finland with their song ‘Cinema’.

The worlds of LoL Esports and K-pop continue to blend, as earlier this week Stray Kids had legendary midlaner Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok appear in their new music video.
