Poland has locked in its League of Legends lineup for the Esports Nations Cup 2026, becoming one of the first countries to publicly reveal a roster for the inaugural multi-title competition. The event runs November 21 through November 29 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with 32 national teams competing for a $1.5 million prize pool in the League of Legends bracket alone.

The roster and how it was built

Poland’s five-player squad features a mix of professional pedigree and grassroots selection. The roster breaks down as follows: Sebastian “Tracyn” Wojtoń in the top lane, Kacper “Inspired” Słoma in the jungle, Mateusz “Czajek” Czajka in the mid lane, Harpoon at bot lane, and Alan “Busio” Cwalina on support. Kacper “Nahovsky” Merski will serve as head coach.

What makes Poland’s approach interesting is the selection process. Tracyn and Czajek earned their spots through community votes, meaning fans had a direct say in who represents their country. The remaining positions were filled by coaching staff and management decisions.

What is the Esports Nations Cup?

The ENC 2026 is a first-of-its-kind event organized by the Esports World Cup Foundation. National teams compete under their country’s flag rather than club banners, spanning multiple game titles, with League of Legends being one of the featured competitions.

Thirty-two teams will compete in the League of Legends portion. The $1.5 million prize pool for a single title is substantial. The real value here is prestige and the novelty of representing a nation rather than a franchise.
