All you need to know about the League of Legends NLCpublished at 16:45 British Summer Time 3 August 2020
What is it?
The Northern League of Legends Championship (NLC) is a new competitive ecosystem for the Nordic countries, plus UK and Ireland. It sees 12 initially selected teams compete for 1m Swedish Krona (roughly £87,000) and the right to be named NLC champion. The competition is designed to "breed the stars of tomorrow".

How does it work?
After a 15-day league stage, we're now into the play-offs. The top four teams in each division will be seeded into a double elimination bracket while the fifth place has been eliminated but maintained their NLC status for next season.
The sixth place in each division will compete in the relegation series, against teams from the Telia Masters (the top two sides from the national leagues qualify for this), to maintain their place in the NLC.

What happened in the group stages?published at 14:58 British Summer Time 3 August 2020
Group A
BT Excel, flying the British flag in the group, demonstrated their superiority by winning eight of their ten group games. Their two defeats came against Norwegian organisation Riddle, who won seven of their games.
Sweden-based Godsent and Norwegian-based Nordavind had a 50% winning record, winning five of their games, Godsent taking third in play-off against Nordavind.
Group B
Fnatic Rising won all ten matches in the group and were followed by Danish side Tricked Esport and Ireland's Munster Rugby Gaming with six wins. British side Barrage Esports took the final play-off spot from Group B, edging out Iceland's Dusty by winning their last two games.
Non-qualifiers
Finnish side Ence and Dusty managed to secure fifth place in their respective groups, which qualifies them for the next season of NLC without having to play in the relegation series.
Danish side Team Singularity and British-based MNM will have to play for NLC survival against the two top performers from the Telia Masters tournament, which features the best teams from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Great Britain and Ireland.
