Women’s team in LoL relegates twice in one year, fights its way into the second division for the first time in 2025

The e-sports scene of League of Legends is dominated by male players. Now, an all-female team has secured their place in the second league after a tough final.

Editorial note: In the original version of the article, we stated that the team’s top laner is named Zevid instead of Zeniv. This passage has been corrected.

Which team is it about? The sister team of the LEC champions G2 Esports is called G2 Hel. In the second league of Northern Europe, the NLC Spring 2024, they only managed to win 2 games and had to endure 16 losses. G2 Hel was relegated to the first Swedish regional league and finished in last place there. After a second relegation, G2 Hel found themselves in the second Swedish regional league.

How did the women make it to the second league? After a tough year for G2 Hel, they exchanged two of their players. The new mid laner Rym “rym” Salloum and the German top laner “Zeniv” joined the team in January 2025. With the new lineup, the women won the promotion tournament of the league Nexo and fought their way into the second league in Spain.

The promotion almost failed

What was it like for G2 Hel? In the final of the promotion tournament, they faced the Spanish team Dream Makers. After G2 Hel was already trailing 1:2, they managed to win the last two games and thus entered the league Nexo. The start date of the third split of the league (via lol.fandom.com) is still unknown.

What does this mean for the e-sports scene in League of Legends? The presence of an all-female team in the second league is a visible sign of change and inclusion. The scene has so far been strongly shaped by male teams. Already in Valorant, an all-female team has joined under the Faze clan and is providing more diversity in e-sports.

With this team, they could achieve even more and perhaps soon play against the professionals in the world championships. Alongside the great news of G2 Hel’s promotion to the second league, there is also sad news. The first world champion Shushei has passed away, and Riot honors him by giving you a title and the skin of his world championship victory: Riot pays respect to one of the first world champions of LoL, giving away a skin in his memory
