The LEC newcomer club, Natus Vincere , has finalized its roster and is starting to introduce the players. The first changes are already noticeable. Previously, the club announced plans to improve the roster for the summer split, but due to the challenging timing of their entry, right in the middle of the season, the changes won't be as significant as fans might have hoped.
The first player confirmed by the club to participate in the LEC Summer 2025 is ADAM " ADAM " Maanane. A young yet experienced French top laner, he has played for well-known clubs like Fnatic and Karmine Corp . His best result was competing at Worlds 2023 with Team BDS , where the team placed 15th-16th. Since 2024, he has been with Rogue , where he experienced two unsuccessful splits with the team.
The second player, confirming all rumors, is Kim " Malrang " Geun-seong, who also stayed with the team but with a twist. The Korean legionnaire will now play the support role, which he tried out in the spring during a forced substitution for Lee " Execute " Jeong-hoon, who received a penalty. Malrang is a graduate of the Dplus KIA academy and played for his home club in 2020-2021, but only in a few matches. In 2022, he migrated to Europe and even spent time in Brazil. In 2024, he returned to Rogue , where he played until the organization's disbandment.
After introducing the first two players, the club introduced the coaching staff for the upcoming tournament. It consists of: Simon " fredy122 " Payne (Head Coach), Kim " Trick " Gang-yun (Assistant Coach), and Nico " Blueknight " Jannet (Analyst). Head Coach fredy122 has been with Rogue since 2022. Assistant Coach Trick is also a familiar face, having worked with Rogue since 2024.
After announcing the first two players, the club released a humorous video on its YouTube channel:
The third player is the well-known mid laner Emil " Larssen " Larsson. The Swedish mid laner has been with Rogue since 2018. His best achievement is winning the LEC Summer 2022 and competing at Worlds that year.
The first newcomer is Lee " Hans SamD " Jae-hoon, who joined NAVI from Ici Japon Corp. He is the second NAVI legionnaire for LEC Summer 2025. A Korean talent, he played for Hanwha Life Esports in their first season, then moved on to Estral Esports , BK ROG Esports , and his last club, Ici Japon Corp.
The final player completing NAVI's roster for LEC Summer 2025 is Francisco " Thayger " Mazo, who joined from Barça eSports. A young Spanish jungler for whom Natus Vincere will be the first tier-1 level club. His best career result is second place at the EMEA Masters Spring 2025.
