For 12 of the 20 teams that comprise the LEC and LCS, it’s the offseason. That means it’s time to start evaluating rosters before trying again in 2024. However, while teams won’t be able to sign new players until free agency begins in November, that doesn’t mean that they will be sitting ideal.
Furthermore, many teams have already started to disassemble their rosters in preparation for a retool. However, HotNewHipHop is here to provide you with every roster move, as well as every rumored move, that happens between now and the start of the 2024 season.
