The NNO team consists of 5 German Twitch streamers for League of Legends, including the biggest and most relevant: NoWay4u, Tolkin, Agurin, Broeki, and Karni. In 2025, the team will split into 3 groups, and one team of three could be particularly exciting as they are apparently heading to England. They want to compete against the newly formed, star-studded streamer teams there, which field internationally renowned players like Nemesis, Rekkles, Jankos, or Perkz.
This was the highlight for NNO: NNO is a group of streamers for League of Legends, some of whom were previously professionals on a national level, having won championship titles in the Prime League, but are now essentially “too old” for esports. They jokingly referred to themselves as a retirement group.
Nevertheless, they played in the second league in 2022 and fumbled through the season without a coach and without much training. But as the season entered its critical phase, NNO suddenly stepped up and dominated the playoffs in the second league, defeating much stronger teams and won the league while hundreds of thousands watched, more than in the first league.
However, due to restrictions still in place for streamers at the time, NNO decided in 2023 not to play in the first league. They hired new players for the spots and named the team NNO Prime. NNO Old drifted apart and only played together for major events, like against Faker.
NNO splits into 3 groups in 2025
Here’s how it goes in 2025: The streamer NoWay4U announced in a stream that NNO will split and go in 3 directions (via YouTube):
- ADC Broeki moves to Eintracht Spandau – this is officially known.
- A player whose name NoWay does not mention will play in the 1st division of the Prime League and “try hard” – evidently, this player wants to build their own team. It is excluded that this player is NoWay themselves or Broeki.
- 3 players would preferably like to add two Scandinavians or Brits to compete in the Nordic European league NCL against other streamer teams like Los Rartones or Ruddy Gaming. However, this is still uncertain as they need a spot.
NoWay seemed to only want to “hint” at the announcement. They initially intended to publicly announce all information at an event. But ultimately, it seems the streamer has already let slip all the relevant information.
Who is the one player playing in Germany? NoWay does not explicitly disclose it and even jokes that it is Karni.
But everything points to the fact that the player is the jungler Agurin:
- Agurin is the strongest player of the 5 and also the one who wants to invest and play the most in LoL. It’s hard to imagine that Tolkin would do that, as he has transitioned to casting.
- Moreover, NoWay considered that they could bring in Broxah to the team if they wanted to play in the NCL – Broxah is a jungler. They wouldn’t need him if Agurin remained.
Will they soon play against Jankos or Nemesis? NoWay’s plan is apparently to buy a free spot in the NCL, bring in two Scandinavians and Brits into the team, and then play against the streamer teams in the NCL alongside Tolkin and Karni.
But there are still several questions open about whether that will work.
Alternatively, it seems likely that they could bring in two German players and play in the lower divisions of the Prime League.
Why are there so many streamer teams now? What caused NNO to break apart in 2022 has now changed. Riot Games has relaxed the rules for streaming in regional leagues for 2025. That’s why so many teams consisting of streamers are currently emerging: The heroes of Europe, Perkz and Jankos, are likely playing LoL together again, as Riot amends the rules.
