League of Legends UK summer 2016 team roster roundup

sean17 youre idiot tca ambitions 1

More and more UK League of Legends teams are coming together for the upcoming ESL UK Summer 2016 Split.
Recent LoL roster announcements include TCA’s new roster, Nutri and Joekerism (pictured) joining xL, MnM signing ManaLight’s former players, and Last Remedy Gaming bringing on board ex-Natus Vincere (Na’Vi) top-laner Simon “Zvene” Svensson.
Check out the list of rosters and some of the more recent changes below:
 

TCA Esports

  • Top: Pavle ‘Yoppa’ Kostić
  • Jungle: Josh ‘J3T’ Bhella
  • Mid: Daniel ‘Kroghsen’ Krogh
  • ADC: Matt ‘Deadly’ Smith
  • Support: Neyas ‘Raizins’ Guruswamy
  • Head Coach: Tobias ‘Mowarth’ Sjunnesson

TCA have made big changes to their line-up, with former UK ADC iuKeEe leaving League of Legends behind to focus on competitive Overwatch with Team EndPoint.
Luna, founder of TCA said: “We’ve been close to announcing our line up a few times leading up to now, however at the very last hurdle one player would reveal where they really want to go. This is of no fault of any one and nothing to do with any contractual terms but simply the realisation of the desires of individuals. In reality this is actually great news for everyone since everyone is technically moving towards where they really want to go, however it can be slightly demoralising for some of the players who are still on the roster as they are back into ‘recruitment’ mode as opposed to team ‘practise’ mode.
“As with life, things happen for a reason and in every adversity comes the seed of equal or greater benefit.”
