The LEC Spring 2025 and Rogue’s Struggles

Rogue’s struggles during the LEC Spring 2025 have been significant. Their struggle was bound to increase with the final week of the Regular Season announced as Lee “Execute” Jeong-hoon, the team’s support player, has been suspended. The suspension was decreed by Riot Games, and it covers the last match of the season. This could put the team in jeopardy of finishing last due to the suspension of Execute.

As indicated by Execute, the suspension for one match arose because he made a remark that was not acceptable. This plays a role in the South Korean player’s progress in the LEC.

Additional Information on Execute’s Suspension

More details concerning Execute’s suspension have emerged from various sources. Recent reports have revealed that Execute’s one-match suspension caused Rogue’s assistant coach, Trick, to step in as a replacement for the last match of the LEC. The suspension took place in May 2025, with the exact date being May 10, 2025.

Rogue’s Position in the Season

Rogue has encountered multiple barriers during the 2025 LEC season. Their 2025 Winter Split journey ended abruptly after their defeat by SK Gaming. After a difficult season, this exit marked a poor beginning to the year for the team.

The 2025 Rogue roster included Emil “Larssen” Larsson, with Adam “Adam” Maanane on top lane, Kim “Malrang” Geun-seong in the jungle, and Patrik “Patrik” Jírů and Lee “Execute” Jeong-hoon in the botlane. This line-up was put together hastily during the off-season, as Rogue had previously been making efforts to withdraw from the LEC.

Changes within the Organization

In addition to the player suspension, Rogue is going through a significant organizational transition. Rogue’s parent company, ReKTGlobal, has reportedly been in deep discussions with NAVI to sell Rogue’s LEC league spot. This could potentially allow NAVI to enter the league as soon as the Summer Split, however, confirmation is still pending.

Prior attempts by Rogue to sell their LEC league spot did not succeed. Team Falcons tried to negotiate for the spot in the previous year but Riot Games halted the process. Again, Nigma Galaxy tried to secure Rogue’s spot in October 2024 but did not come to an agreement.

The timing of Execute’s suspension adds another layer of uncertainty to Rogue’s situation. The team is tasked with navigating potential ownership transitions, their early exit from the Winter Split, and the pending player suspension.
