NAVI in Talks with Rogue to Acquire LEC Slot

NAVI, one of the most successful esports organizations in the world, is in the final stages of negotiations with Rogue to purchase their slot in the LEC. This will be a significant event for NAVI, as the organization will return to League of Legends competitions after an eight-year hiatus.

Rogue , who have been attempting to sell their LEC slot since early 2025, are now in the final stages of negotiations with NAVI. According to Sheep Esports, the deal between ReKTGlobal, Rogue 's parent company, and NAVI is close to completion. If everything goes according to plan, NAVI could join the LEC as early as the summer split of 2025.

NAVI's return to League of Legends at the LEC level will be a landmark event for the club, which already has years of experience in international esports. Founded in 2009, NAVI has won numerous awards in disciplines such as Counter-Strike and Dota 2. After ceasing participation in the LCL tournament in 2017, their return to a prestigious championship like the LEC will attract significant attention.
