LEC 2024 Shakeup: KCorp, Giants, and More Rumored to Join the Fray

The LEC, the premier platform for top-tier League of Legends action in Europe, is already abuzz with wild speculations about its potential 2024 lineup, even before the off-season officially begins. Could renowned organizations like KCorp, Giants and others join the league?

Although the LEC serves as Europe's primary stage for competitive League of Legends, regional leagues such as Germany's Primeleague and France's LFL also thrive with passionate fan bases and substantial viewership. Teams like KOI, Karmine Corp and Giants have a strong presence in these leagues.

KOI recently forged a partnership with Rogue, participating in the LEC under the banner of KOI. This collaboration has sparked speculation that other organizations might follow suit. According to Brieuc "LEC Wooloo" Seeger, a Belgian esports journalist known for credible leaks, KCorp, Giants and Movistar Riders could be the next entities to explore LEC participation.

Giants previously fielded a team in the LEC with moderate success. KCorp has expressed a desire to join the LEC, but their application was declined, disappointing their fans.

While rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, past track records suggest that LEC_Wooloo's leaks have often proven accurate, lending credibility to these potential collaborations.

So, what does the enigmatic LEC_Wooloo post reveal? Let's delve into it.

The LEC Wooloo Post Decoded

The cryptic image in the post has a history of being used by Wooloo for teasers. Fans have become adept at deciphering such puzzles.

Resourceful KCorp supporters on Reddit appear to have cracked the code:

• The binary code "001010011100" translates to "MAD".
• A cyclist image with "Moviestar" in the description hints at Movistar Riders' involvement.
• The "Excellent Dumpling House" paired with the Giant Talon bike suggests a merger involving XL and Giants, forming "XL Giants".
• The mention of Astralis merging with KCorp adds further intrigue.

Additionally, numerical dates alongside each merger may hint at announcement dates:

• MAD and Movistar Riders: November 29th
• XL and Giants: December 17th
• Astralis and KCorp: January 18th

MAD, a beloved Spanish organization, might continue under its name due to its popularity. However, XL, a less prominent brand, could consider adopting the "Giants" moniker or "XL Giants".

As for Astralis, they've struggled to make an impact in LoL esports since acquiring Origen. KCorp, on the other hand, has found success in the LoL world. The key question revolves around the roster's future, including figures like Cabochard and Finn, which will be determined during the off-season after Worlds.
