The Witchcraft LoL roster is official. Bwipo, Velja, Nemesis, Crownie, and Rekkles form the new lineup, with YamatoCannon as head coach. This is one of the most exciting EU rosters assembled outside of the LEC in recent memory.
Four of the five players competed in LEC Versus under Caedrel’s Los Ratones project. The team finished ninth. One more win would have sent them to playoffs. Now they return with one key change: Bwipo replaces Thebausffs, who retired from pro play to focus on streaming.
Who is on the Witchcraft LoL Roster?
- Top: Bwipo
- Jungle: Velja
- Mid: Nemesis
- ADC: Crownie
- Support: Rekkles
- Coach: YamatoCannon
Bwipo brings LEC and international experience to the top lane. Velja impressed during LEC Versus as a consistent and adaptable jungler. Nemesis is a veteran mid laner with deep knowledge of the European scene. Crownie and Rekkles form one of the most experienced bot lanes in EU Masters history.
The Road to the Esports World Cup
Witchcraft enters EMEA Masters Winter 2026 as the NLC’s 4th seed. Their goal is clear: finish top two and qualify for the Esports World Cup 2026. It won’t be easy — but this roster has the firepower to compete.
Caedrel won’t be part of the project this time. However, Nemesis confirmed he’ll support the team from the sidelines.
The team played their first match on March 9th. Can they make it to the EWC?
What to Expect from Witchcraft
Witchcraft enters EMEA Masters Winter 2026 as one of the strongest rosters in the tournament on paper. The combination of experienced LEC veterans and a proven coaching staff makes them an immediate contender for the title.
Their biggest strength is individual quality. Rekkles is one of the most decorated players in EU history, and Nemesis has shown throughout his career that he can compete at the highest level. Bwipo adds versatility to the top lane — he can play carries and tanks equally well, giving YamatoCannon flexible draft options.
However, there are question marks. This roster has had very little time to build synergy. LEC Versus showed that even talented rosters need time to gel, and Los Ratones struggled early before finding their footing. Witchcraft faces the same challenge, but with even less preparation time.
YamatoCannon is a coach with a clear tactical identity — structured, macro-focused play. If the team buys into his system quickly, they could peak at the right moment. EMEA Masters is a short tournament, which means there is little room for a slow start.
The competition will also be fierce. Teams from the LFL, Prime League, and other regional leagues arrive with more structured environments and longer preparation windows. Witchcraft will need to hit the ground running.
If this roster performs at its ceiling, a deep run — or even a title — is realistic. If chemistry takes too long to develop, an early exit is equally possible.
