The king of Europe, Rasmus "" Winther, has gathered his subjects in an attempt to conquer the world. The team will be coached by three Danish coaches: Patrick "Pad" Suckow-Breum as Head Coach, assisted by Benjamin "Visdom" Larsen and Nikolaj "DenVoksne" Meilby.

Denmark’s League of Legends roster for the Esports Nations Cup will feature Martin "" Nordahl Hansen and Carl Ulsted "" Carlsen in the toplane, Casper "" Bo Simonsen and William "" Donatzky in the jungle, Caps in the midlane, Jesper "" Svenningsen as AD Carry and Mads "" Schwartz as support, sources tell Sheep Esports on Tuesday.

It should be noted that Wunder and Cboi will start as the toplaner and jungler, respectively, but this could change toward the end of the year, with Carlsen and/or Woldjo potentially stepping in.

The Esports Nations Cup will see some teams qualify directly, while others will have to go through their regional qualifiers. Each player earns a certain number of points depending on the events they have participated in 2025. A national ranking is then established, and the highest-ranked nations will qualify directly for the Main Event.

For Denmark, Caps alone is expected to represent more points than several nations combined across their entire rosters. The European legend will secure his country a spot in the ENC Main Event thanks to the points he accumulated from a Top 8 finish at Worlds 2025 and a runner-up finish at First Stand 2026, respectively.

Skipping the qualifiers will give Denmark time to decide which of its two top laners and junglers will be part of the starting roster once the competition’s main event launches in November in Riyadh.

Scheduled from November 2 to 29 for its first edition in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, the nation-based competition, the largest in esports history, is expected to bring together thousands of players from around a hundred countries, competing across nearly 16 games. Alongside the League of Legends tournament, set to take place from November 21 to 29, there will also be nation-based competitions in VALORANT, Counter-Strike, Rocket League, and Rainbow Six: Siege. For Riot Games’ MOBA title, around 32 teams, each representing a nation, will compete on site.

Before that, the participants still need to be decided. The Esports Foundation, which oversees the ENC and the Esports World Cup (two separate events), has decided that 16 teams out of the 32 will qualify directly for the final tournament, based on the results of their representatives in Riot Games’ official competitive circuits. The other participants will have to go through seven regional qualifiers, each offering two spots. The remaining two slots will reportedly be allocated by the ENC in the form of wildcards, likely at the discretion of the event organizers.
