Forsen's League of Legends NLC team.
4 Challengers & A Challenged
Statistics and team history available at Liquipedia.
Background
In November 15, 2025 forsen announced that NLC offered him to have a team playing in their pro league. NLC had initially asked forsen to "coach" a team of pro players but he had insisted that he'd have to play on the team as a jungler. Riot Games states that NLC local teams have no hard requirement for ranks however forsen's team is not playing locally within a nation and is instead playing on the ERL tier.
The ERL rulebook for 2026 states the following:
1.7.1 All Players on a Team Roster must have held a peak rating of Diamond 3 or above in 5v5 Summonerโs Rift Ranked Solo/Duo or Ranked Flex at least once in the current ranked split or in one of the two previous ranked splits.
To make sure forsen is able to play, the fan theory is that NLC seems to have reduced his requirement down to only needing to gain Emerald rank before the league starts January 15, 2026.
In anticipation of this, forsen spent latter half of December 2025 to gain a higher rank and because he is team captain he has to do all of the 1v1 NLC qualifications.
NLC has this to say about forsen:
Despite widespread debate over his Platinum/Emerald rank compared to his Challenger teammates, Forsen aims to prove his "God Gamer" status by competing in the official EMEA regional circuit alongside veterans like Pobelter and Drututt.
Drututt commentary
โHe said that jungle is the easiest role to be carried in when competing, because all he needs to do is clear camps [...] Forsen is our captain. The NLC bent the rules so he could play.โ
Drututt itemization incident
Bro I just beat a challenger in mid 1v1, for NLC , and you are talking about my fucking itemization.
I might just fucking kill you
Veigar v2 gets benched, Rychly replaces
On Thursday, Jan 22nd, 2026, after the team's third defeat, Pobelter suggests benching Veigar so he can instead coach them during scrims, and find another support. They go back to the old tweet where forsen announced he's making a team, to find a new support player. Rychly replied on the forsen tweet that he was a current grand master support interesting in joining the team.
One day after, on Friday, Jan 23rd, 2026, they played their first scrim with the new support player that nobody had yet known about until they joined the lobby. Rychly, the 7+ years followage forsen baj helped give the team their first scrim win.
It seems Veigar v2 has been fired from yet another team, this time by Team Forsen. Forsen.

The week before start, @drututt got banned for inappropriate use of tags. This prompted forsen to ask Twitch Support if he's allowed to have @drututt on voice chat as he is a temporarily banned streamer. Before scrim started, forsen played sponsored PUBG segment.
To play in EUW, Pobelter is using one of Drututt's accounts.
This is the first time forsen will socialize [in forever].

Pobelter and Veigar V2 switch lanes
After this match day, Veigar v2 suggests getting on a champion he's comfortable on but Pobelter doesn't think a Shack as support is a good pick so they decide to switch lanes with each other for the next game.

Forsen has contributed 100% of his teams kills, truly outperforming.
Jackspectra post game has mentioned that they should play with a "real support player", and that VeigarV2 should switch to coach position, Veigar V2 said: "Coaching is useless if we're not scrimming", they agreed to scrim more often, however there is a possibility that VeigarV2 may be dropped from the roster.
