The saga over the organizer of the 2026 SuperLiga has come to an end: it will be LastLap, sources tell
Sheep Esports. The Spanish producer will take over after the
Liga de Videojuegos Profesional (LVP) stepped down. Several companies were in the running to produce and broadcast the Spanish league, including Webedia, GGTech Entertainment, and LastLap, with the latter ultimately securing the rights. In the final stage of the process were the proposals from
GGTech and
LastLap, with sources indicating that LastLap’s proposal included
Cabal as the company responsible for producing the league.
A few months ago,
Sheep Esports reported that
59 LVP employees were placed under a labor force adjustment plan following financial difficulties, as the group owning LVP tightened its belt. Despite these challenges, Riot Games made it a priority to ensure that the Spanish league would continue to operate.
Some of the major teams in the Spanish ERL supported Lastlap, providing positive feedback and actively pushing for them to become the organizer. It’s worth noting that the Spanish league remains one of the strongest ERLs in EMEA, featuring teams like UCAM and Barça Esports and LEC academy teams such as Los Heretics, GIANTX Pride, and Movistar KOI Fénix.
Spanish teams have also shown encouraging results at the EMEA Masters: Los Heretics reached the Summer Split final,
falling only to Karmine Corp Blue, while in the Spring, Barça eSports made it to
the final against Los Ratones.
