Last summer, Freaks 4U Gaming was appointed tournament organiser of the Northern League of Legends Championship (NLC), the Northern European ERL (European Regional League) region covering the UK, Ireland and Nordics.
While the revised ‘multi-division league ecosystem’ ruffled some feathers in the scene, it’s clear that the broadcast production for the first season has been top-notch. Esports News UK submitted an interview request with Freaks 4U last year to get to know them better, and due to some F4U changes and our own slowness, we are publishing this later than we would’ve liked.
X7 Esports made history on the weekend when they became the first esports organisation from the Isle of Man to reach the EU Masters, but their celebrations were marred somewhat on social media. Fans of French LFL organisation Karmine Corp argued an image posted on Twitter by X7 members and other teams was ‘stolen’ from Karmine and adapted without their permission.
Debate and confusion ensued, and we thought it’d be useful for organisations and the LoL esports community to understand the legalities around image copyright to prevent such ire in the future.
X7 Esports have made history tonight by becoming the first esports organisation from the Isle of Man to stand among some of Europe’s best League of Legends sides in the Amazon European (EU) Masters.
They beat Bifrost 3-2 in a full five-game series this evening in the Spring 2022 playoffs of the Northern League of Legends Championship (NLC), the European Regional League (ERL) for the UK, Ireland and Nordics.
It was a close series and a turning point for X7, who had found themselves in a tricky spot after finishing the NLC 2022 spring season in second place to Bifrost, a team that had beaten X7 twice in the regular season.
The first couple of fixtures in the Spring 2022 NLC playoffs have concluded, and a shock upset has seen Excel academy side JDXL eliminated in round one.
The NLC is the Northern League of Legends Championship, the European Regional League (ERL) for the UK, Ireland and Nordics, and features the best teams from the region.
There were six teams that entered the playoffs after the NLC Spring 2022 season standings were confirmed (in order): Bifrost, X7 Esports, JDXL, Dusty, Vanir and Riddle Esports.
The League of Legends Amazon European (EU) Masters is around the corner once more, and it’s got the community talking about the different qualification slots in each region.
The EU Masters brings together the best teams from across the different European Regional Leagues (ERLs), including France’s LFL, Spain’s Superliga, DACH’s Prime League, the UK/Ireland/Nordics NLC and more.
Each ERL has a different number of slots for teams to progress to the EU Masters, which takes place twice per year.
