What is the NLC and the National Divisions?

The NLC is the Northern League of Legends Championship, the official European Regional League (or ERL) for the Nordics, UK and Ireland. There are currently 2 Divisions of the NLC representing the entire of Northern Europe before we break out into 5 local national leagues in each of the 4 Nordic countries and the UK + Ireland. 

Each league runs with multiple divisions across all skill levels from the best players all the way down to those who enjoy playing competitive League of Legends against players in their skill bracket. For those at the very top of their national leagues they have a chance to play in the NLC Regional Promotion Series (NLC RPS) and have a chance to join the pan-Northern Europe Division 2. 

National Leagues

There are 5 leagues for you to join depending on where the majority of your team is from or lives: League Championship Denmark, Finnish Pro League, GGLigaen in Norway, SvenskaOnlineLigaen in Sweden and 4 Nations in the UK and Ireland. 

Each of the five competitions have slightly different league structures but they involve weekly matches against other teams in your divisions with wins granting you points. At the end of the season you play in a playoffs with the chance to promote and relegate depending on your performance in the previous season. 

There are no rank requirements to join and you’ll be placed against similarly ranked teams so matches tend to be closely fought competitions where any side can take home the victory and you get a chance to show off your best champions, strategies and plays.

When can we get started?

Sign ups are live for all Nordic competitions right now with seasons starting in August, so you’ve got time to get your teams together, signed up and also practise with friends ahead of your first match.

FAQ:

What is The NLC?

The NLC is the Northern League of Legends Championship and the European Regional League (ERL) for Northern Europe. If you’re a player from the Nordics, UK or Ireland this is the best place for you to start to climb the esports ladder towards EMEA Masters and the LEC!


What’s the schedule? 

Each league is a little different, but if you’re going all the way it’ll be roughly one night a week over nine weeks (not consecutively). Check your local country league for their full schedule.


Do I need a team?

Yes you’ll need to compete with a full team of five. You might be able to find team members or a team in each of the Discords so check them out.


Do we all need to be from the same country to create a team?

The majority of your team has to be in the country you’re competing in. For example you’d need at least 3 Danish players to join the Denmark league.


Do I need to be a certain rank?

No, it’s open to everyone! You’ll compete against people of your rank.


My team does not have a majority of regional players, will we still be able to compete in the new championship structure?

Yes and no. If it's simply a case of not having 3-5 players from one of the five sub-regions it won't be possible to join a national league. But fear not, because the NLC Ladder is still an option as it only requires 3 players from the NLC region as a whole.
