Earlier this month, DreamHack heralded the launch of a new tournament, the Northern League of Legends Championship (NLC), in partnership with Riot Games.
The NLC will act as the newest European Regional League (ERL) on the continental block, and is an amalgam of two previously separate regions: the Nordics (Denmark, Sweden, Finland, and Norway), which formerly did battle in the Nordic Championship; and the British Isles (the United Kingdom and Ireland), which face off in the UK League Championship (UKLC).
The UKLC is sticking around, but the Nordic Championship is being broken up into four national leagues, named the Telia Esports Series.
