forge of champions text 1

The first of the four mini tournaments in Riot UK’s new League of Legends tournament – Forge of Champions – kicks off this week on June 22nd. And the eight teams taking part in stage two of the competition have started to announce their player rosters and talent.
Here’s our ongoing roundup so far of the eight former Prem teams who will play in stage 2. Note, this is a work in progress, so there are many TBCs in here. Enclave and exceL look to be the first two orgs who have announced their full rosters.
