LFL Set to Have New Organisers Next Year With Talks Ongoing

N.E.O Set to Take Over the LFL

Back in December, Bertrand Amar stepped down as Webedia’s Head of Esports before co-founding N.E.O with another former member of Webedia, Matthieu Dallon.

N.EO. brought back LoL Game Changers Rising for a second season, which will take place later this year, after becoming the new organisers for the next two years.

The company is also in charge of the Nova Series women’s tournaments and EMEA Masters, replacing Webedia in that regard too.

Outside of LoL, N.E.O is also in charge of the EVO France fighting games events and EVA Pro League, a virtual-reality-based esports league.

Still, there are worries over how healthy the ERLs are as Webedia is not the first tournament organiser to step away from the tier-2 LoL scene in EMEA this year.

Earlier this year, the NLC faced a long delay after its previous organisers stepped down a few weeks before the Spring Split.

Meanwhile, the Prime League, the ERL  for the DACH region (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland), has new organisers too in Berlin-based agency onethreefive gaming GmbH.

And earlier this year, Riot denied rumours that the LEC would be played primarily online in 2027. And for even more Insider Gaming delivered directly to your inbox, sign up for our newsletter.
