Team Vitality have confirmed their League of Legends roster for the 2026 LEC season with just the one change.

In the LEC Summer Split 2025, Team Vitality battled for a spot at LoL Worlds but were eliminated in the Playoffs by Karmine Corp.

Now, Vitality is looking to build on its core following a couple of impressive debut years from their rookies.

The Vitality roster for LEC 2026 is:

• Kaan ‘Naak Nako’ Okan (top)
• Linas ‘Lyncas’ Nauncikas (jungle)
• Marek ‘Humanoid’ Brázda (mid)
• Matyáš ‘Carzzy’ Orság (bot)
• Kadir ‘Fleshy’ Kemiksiz (support)

The one new signing is midlaner Humanoid who left Fnatic after three years and took a break during the 2025 Summer Split.

This means Carzzy and Humanoid have finally been reunited for the first time since 2021.

The Czech duo played together on MAD Lions and won LEC titles on two different occasions.

This signing means that Vitality’s promising midlaner Mateusz ‘Czajek’ Czajka has been surprisingly dropped.

After two years on Vitality.Bee, the academy team, Czajek then had an impressive debut year in the LEC in 2025.

Vitality has him under contract until 2027, so Czajek has returned to Vitality.Bee in the LFL again rather than being benched.

Sheep Esports reported that Natus Vincere considered signing Czajeck, but NAVI opted for Sung-won ‘Poby’ Yun instead.

While Czajek may have been dropped, Vitality has stuck with their two other rookies from 2025.

Former high-level volleyball player Naak Nako has easily become the ‘ace’ of the team, dominating in the top lane.

While Fleshy really impressed after replacing Zdravets ‘Hylissang’ Galabov for the Summer Split.

The big question mark over this roster will be whether jungler Lyncas can make good on his potential in his third LEC season with Vitality.

LEC Versus 2026 format

Instead of the usual Winter Split, Riot Games has introduced a new LEC event to start the year.

LEC Versus starts on January 17th, 2026, as a brand new tournament featuring twelve teams instead of the usual 10.

The top-performing teams from the EMEA Regional Leagues (ERLs) have been invited by Riot to participate.

They are EMEA Masters Summer Champions Karmine Corp Blue and three-time NLC winners Los Ratones.

Every team will face each other once in a best-of-one, with the top eight teams advancing to the Playoffs.

The Playoffs will then be best-of-threes in the first two rounds and best-of-fives for the remainder.

The winner of the Playoffs will be crowned LEC Versus champions and qualify for the First Stand international event.
