This Team's Rebranding Has Been A Nightmare... & League 2?! Dec 23, 2025

Show notes

Dive into this packed League of Legends talk show as Thorin and Nymaera break down the first looks at BLG and LNG in the Demacia Cup, BLG’s new roster with Xun and Viper, and what it all might mean for the LPL 2025 season. They also explore how meta picks like Maokai jungle and Aphelios vs. Xayah are shaping early-game dynamics, team vibes, and playoff potential in China’s top-tier League ecosystem.

Then the episode pivots hard into Europe: the controversial BDS → Shifters rebrand, its mocked logo and name, and a disastrous meme tweet that turned a flat launch into a PR crisis. The hosts discuss the broader decline of creative opportunities in the EU scene, the cancellation of the LEC’s flagship podcast EUphoria, and why losing high-quality Riot-produced shoulder content hurts narrative building, talent, and fans across the ecosystem.
