Los Ratones to compete in the NNO Cup, with Caedrel replacing Rekkles as support
Los Ratones are preparing for their first-ever tournament
With a post earlier today, NNO announced that Los Ratones will compete in Season 2 of the NNO Cup. In a twist, it won’t be Rekkles playing support for Los Ratones; Caedrel has instead been listed as the support.
The lineup of Los Ratones was announced on the 15th of November, less than a week ago. The NNO Cup will be their first event competing as Los Ratones, though it won’t be with the main lineup, since Caedrel will be playing support over Rekkles for currently unpublicized reasons. The trio of Velja/Nemesis/Crownie recently competed together in the T-esports Championship Season 3 under the name “Bad Lions“, lifting the trophy in Budapest’s LAN final.
Midlaner Nemesis is one of the defending champions, as he won last year’s NNO Cup with his own team (Team Nemesis). Baus also had his own team, but got eliminated in the first round. Finally, Velja competed as a member of Team noway4u, finishing in the Top 4.
Besides Los Ratones. 4 more teams have had their lineups for the NNO Cup already published: 5 Pigs 1 Team, Die Atzen, French Flair, and Kiedyś Miałem Fun. The most notable participant amongst them is Jankos, whose many accolades include winning 5 LEC titles and a Mid-Season Invitational. NNO itself is also confirmed to compete.
The NNO Cup is scheduled to begin on the 27th November and finish on the 8th of December. There’s a prize pool of 10K Euros for the winning team.
