Eight captains for the upcoming League of Legends Twitch Rivals tournament have drafted their picks and all the teams across two groups are now known. Here is the full list of captains, their drafted players and their group structures.

 While Twitch Rivals is not the calibre of a World Championship, it has several highlights we should all be looking for:

  • Yassuo vs Trick2G grudge match following the bait and switch at the previous Twitch Rivals
  • The number of players running heal-heavy champions to force LS into buying Morellonomicon
  • Watching how Geranimo fills into support autofill
  • Watching Swifte win the tournament again
