NaVi is set to make its debut in the LEC with a new franchise slot and a fresh roster of players it recently acquired from Rogue, and the Ukrainian esports organization has now officially revealed its new LoL roster in full.

Rogue had been looking to sell its LEC spot for some time, and NaVi acquired it to enter the pro League of Legends scene. This proved to be a mutually beneficial deal that’s allowed NaVi to join Europe’s top League of Legends teams. NaVi also acquired Rogue’s players, but it was unclear how the team’s roster would actually look when the LEC resumed play in 2025.

Fans started to speculate which players would stay with NaVi when the team’s CEO stated that the former Rogue roster would require change. On July 11, NaVi officially revealed its LEC roster, and fans now know which players made the cut as well as the changes the team has made.

Multiple Rogue players have stayed on for the debut NaVi LEC roster, though the team has brought in new talent as well for LEC play in 2025.

Mid-laner Emil “Larssen” Larsson and top laner Adam “Adam” Maanane were reported to be two of Rogue’s players who would continue to play for NaVi. This proved correct as NaVi confirmed both players’ spots on the roster in their corresponding positions. Kim “Malrang” Geun-seong joined Rogue while NaVi was in the process of buying its LEC spot. The former jungler is also a part of NaVi’s roster, but this does come with a fresh change as Malrang will play as support for NaVi instead of his previous jungle role.

The other two remaining players are new additions: Francisco “Thayger” Mazo and Lee “Hans SamD” Jae-hoon.

Thayger last played for Barça eSports and has joined NaVi as the team’s jungler. He finished in the top two at the EMEA Masters 2025 Spring tournament in June and won in the Superliga 2025 Winter and Spring. NaVi’s bot laner, Hans SamD, previously played for Ici Japon Corp. He impressed at the EMEA Masters 2025 competition by winning silver and earning fifth place in the LPL 2020 Summer split.

NaVi has retained Rogue’s coaching staff, with Simon “fredy122” Payne serving as head coach, Kim “Trick” Gang-yun as assistant coach, and Nico “Blueknight” Jannet as head of analytics. NaVi’s new roster will be put to the test when the LEC 2025 Summer Split begins on August 2. If the team’s roster fares well, NaVi may have the chance to participate in the 2025 League of Legends World Championship.

NaVi’s LEC roster:

  • Adam “Adam” Maanane – Top Laner
  • Emil “Larssen” Larsson – Mid Laner
  • Kim “Malrang” Geun-seong – Support
  • Francisco “Thayger”’ Sánchez – Jungler
  • Lee “Hans SamD” Jae-hoon – Bot Laner
  • Simon “fredy122” Payne – Head Coach
  • Kim “Trick” Gang-yun – Assistant Coach
  • Nico “Blueknight” Jannet – Head of Analytics
