Twitch streamer wins the European Championship in LoL with his team, reveals what comes next

The Brit Marc Robert “Caedrel” Lamont is the most-watched streamer on Twitch in 2025. In a video, he now presents his goals for League of Legends, and it sounds somewhat grandiose despite all that he has achieved. The Brit dreams of winning the LoL World Championship or at least trying to.

This is what Caedrel has achieved: The streamer has risen to become the largest streamer in the world on Twitch in recent months. With 30.3 million viewed hours in the last 90 days, he is ahead of the Trump-boosted Asmongold and a Japanese streamer. The content of Caedrel consists solely of League of Legends.

The former professional player grew as a caster on Twitch because he commented as a co-streamer over the official broadcasts of esports games and became more popular than the official channels.

At the end of 2024, he founded his own esports team, filled with 3 former elite players, an unconventionally operating Twitch streamer, and an unknown jungler: This team “Los Ratones” won a regional league in LoL and from there the European Championship.

This is likely the goal for Caedrel, the US League for LoL.

Caedrel is aiming for participation in a Tier-1 region in 2026

This is now his plan: For 2025, Caedrel still aims to win the regional league and go to the EU Masters. In addition, he is thinking about a bootcamp in South Korea. But essentially, Caedrel wants to continue as he did in the very successful Winter Split, when Los Ratones won everything they could win.

However, he hints that this will not be enough for him in 2026. He says he wants to go on a journey and not always do the same thing.

For 2026, he plans to move Los Ratones to a “Tier-1” league. Since he considers it unlikely to just come up with €20 million for a spot, Caedrel is contemplating a partnership with a team, but he could also imagine moving to America and accepting the guest spot in the league there.

 If that doesn’t work out, Caedrel can imagine a world tour with Los Ratones, traveling to each LoL region for a few months and competing against the best teams.

There are 5 Tier-1 leagues in LoL: South Korea (LCK), China (LPL), Europe (LEC); America (LTA) and Asia-Pacific (LCP). These are the professional leagues. Almost all of these leagues are “franchise leagues” modeled after American sports leagues. There is no possibility of promotion or relegation. You have to “buy into” the leagues.

Project Los Ratones is becoming larger and more demanding

This is how he sees his role: Caedrel says that as someone without a degree, the business part of Los Ratones is now very challenging for him.

He founded the team for fun and because he thought it would be cool and provide good content, but he never expected that Los Ratones would become so big.

Now, they will likely enter partnerships with companies and share the revenue with the players.

Caedrel has a recurring dream of the World Championship in LoL

What sounds grandiose? Despite all the success: A passage in his plans sounds a bit grandiose and Caedrel is aware of it.

He says he has had a recurring dream in recent weeks, in which he sees himself on the stage of a world championship sitting and crying:

I don’t know what that means. I’ve had the dream 5 times now. I’m not kidding. Just thinking about it makes me feel… strange.

He says that a few years ago, he considered moving to America to become a head coach there. A part of him wants to at least try to become a world champion once. He feels he can’t live with himself without having tried at least once:

How that will happen – I don’t know. But the only way to get there is to compete in a Tier-1 region.

What’s behind it: With all the love, merely participating in a world championship is already far away for Los Ratones. “A chance to win the World Championship” is not just an unattainable dream for Caedrel, but for any non-Asian.

As the German coach Grabbz recently explained, the gap between western LoL and the strong teams from Asia is huge and even larger than many believe.

And that a Brit just becomes the coach of a team from South Korea that competes for the World Championship seems truly far away – as when the idea came up at T1 in 2020 to bring a “wrestler” into the coaching team, the South Korean fans tore the team’s place apart.

Although it is true that a member of Los Ratones, Rekkles, actually won the World Championship, he didn’t play a second.

But well, Caedrel is 29 and still has plans. However, dominating a league consisting mainly of amateur players with former professional players and crushing the 32-year-old NoWay is, of course, an achievement, but not comparable to winning a World Championship in LoL against people like Chovy or Faker: The new cool team of LoL has 180,000 viewers on Twitch, crushing a German streamer
