A few months after being crowned LFL champions, BK ROG Esports are preparing to defend their title as the 2025 Summer Split gets underway. As reigning champions, they approach this new chapter with determination, ambition… and some key changes.

🏋️ Training and Preparation: Staying at the Top

Following a dominant Spring Split, the team wasted no time in continuing their development. The players underwent intense training sessions and notably participated in the NNO CUP, a high-level European tournament.

BK ROG Esports secured a promising 3rd place, showing a solid performance while experimenting with new in-game strategies.

“The NNO CUP helped us pinpoint what needed refining. The players were eager to improve, even with shorter breaks.” — Squalito, Team Manager

“Tournaments like these help build cohesion and prepare the squad for high-pressure moments.” — Squalito

🔁 A Major Roster Change

The team did, however, face a significant change: Rhilech, a cornerstone of their championship roster, was signed by NAVI, a globally renowned esports organization.

“We always knew Rhilech had the potential to go far. His departure is a point of pride, but we had to reorganize quickly and maintain our standards.” — Nicolas CHOITE, Founder & CEO of BK ROG Esports

To fill this crucial gap, the team brought in XnS, a promising young talent already making waves in the semi-pro scene. Stepping into a key role, XnS appears ready to seize the moment:he quickly adapted to the team’s structure and has shown strong motivation and a clear goal to make an impact in the LFL from the very start.

“XnS is hungry. He wants to prove he belongs at the top level. His arrival brought fresh energy to the team.” — Squalito

🤝 Team Chemistry at the Core

More than just a team, BK ROG Esports takes pride in fostering a strong group culture. The bond between players, performance staff, and coaches remains a key foundation of the project.

“We don’t rely solely on individual talent. What makes us strong is our mindset, communication, and mutual respect.” — Squalito

“Right now, the team is more united than ever and ready to defend what we’ve built.” — Squalito

🚀 Eyes on the Summer Split

With renewed momentum and the drive to live up to their status as favorites, BK ROG Esports are entering the Summer Split with high ambitions. The goal: a historic back-to-back title, without falling into the trap of overconfidence.
