Updated: November 30
Who's ready for some musical chairs! Record-breaking viewership figures for LoL Worlds 2023 and T1 reclaiming their crown have marked the end of the 2023 competitive season. As such, it's now officially that time of year again when the League of Legends esports rostermania and player transfers are in full swing.
During the off-season, teams are being rebuilt left and right in preparation for 2024 competitive play. With all the chaos, many great players of respected tenure and accolades are left teamless with free agency.
If you're confused about next year's roster changes, don't worry! This article features all the current roster changes and rumors going around for LCS, LEC, and LCK. Please note that any players with an asterisk next to their name indicate a transfer or team change has been reported but not officially confirmed.
LEC Roster Changes
LEC rosters are seeing the most switches and changes out of all the professional leagues. MAD Lions' whole roster is open for new opportunities with other teams. KOI has undergone a rebranding to change to Infinite Reality. Karmine Corp is also a fresh team joining the LEC, taking over Astralis' slot in the league.
Without further ado, let's dive into what the LEC team rosters are looking like so far.

LCS Roster Changes
As of November 20, Riot Games and the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) have announced they're cutting their teams down from ten to eight in a shocking switch. This means that Golden Guardians and Evil Geniuses are out of the LoL esports scene - any players or staff that had signed agreements with them have effectively been let go.
The region also sees a fresh face join their ranks as a new LCS team. Shopify Rebellion has acquired TSM's spot in the league after signing a reported $10 million contract deal. TSM is planning to switch its LoL operations to a different region.
