With no third-party League of Legends tournaments left to cast in the UK, Ireland and Nordics, one caster has become a player instead.
UK colour caster Marcus ‘Rhael’ Sampson has joined Pendragon Esports in Division 3 of the NLC (the European Regional League, or ERL, for the region), as a top-laner in their all-UK roster. He will play for them in the upcoming season.
The news comes following controversy around the closure of Leagues.gg’s League of Legends tournament, which said it had been halted by Riot Games and NLC tournament organiser Freaks 4U.
