What to know about the Forsen League of Legends NLC team
Following the drastic success of the streamer-led Los Ratones LoL team, Twitch streamers Forsen and Drututt will join with others to try their hand at competitive League of Legends through a new NLC team.
Los Ratones proved that streamers could compete at the same level as some professional League of Legends players when given the chance, and that such an undertaking could also bring on significant viewership. After dominating the NLC, winning EMEA Masters events, and ultimately qualifying for the LEC, Los Ratones has inspired more streamers to give it a shot.
In particular, streamers Forsen and Drututt have revealed their new professional League of Legends team called 4 Swines & a Bum. While the team will follow in Los Ratones’ footsteps by starting in the NLC, its chances of one day qualifying for the LEC may not be quite as high.
Who is on the 4 Swines & a Bum roster?
4 Swines & a Bum is a professional League of Legends team formed by the content creators Maks “Drututt” Przychodzień and Sebastian “Forsen” Fors, with the pair being joined by Pobelter, Jackspektra, and Veigarv2.
First announced on X, the team’s roster is seemingly all over the place. Drututt himself is a Twitch streamer and League of Legends player who has accomplished much in terms of proving out his skills, including reaching challenger rank in all five LoL roles. He created the team and is slated to play as the squad’s top laner.

Pobelter, Jackspektra, and Veigarv2 each have prior professional League of Legends experience and will likely settle well in their roles as the team’s mid-laner, ADC, and support, respectively. Pobelter stands out as a particularly well-established professional player who competed at a high level in the LCS with teams such as FlyQuest and Team Liquid, and has maintained high-ranked Challenger accounts ever since.
The addition of Forsen is easily the most controversial factor on this new team, but it’s also the biggest draw for many fans. While the League of Legends streamer has done well to establish a large fan base, he isn’t considered on par with professional players by any remote stretch. His overall persona is more on the meme side of League than the pro side, and he’ll likely struggle against the level of competition on offer in the NLC.
What league will 4 Swines & a Bum play in?
4 Swines & a Bum is slated to compete in the NLC, which is a couple of steps below the LEC and serves as a stepping stone towards competing in EMEA Masters events.
Fellow creator-led professional team Los Ratones followed a similar path by first competing in the NLC. The team established from the beginning that it meant business, dominating the NLC, winning EMEA Masters events, and eventually moving up to the LEC.
While Los Ratones climbed to greater heights, a similarly-purposed American streamer team created by the ex-professional player and current streamer Doublelift didn’t see the same success. Near Airport was created by Doublelift and featured a star roster of veteran League pros, including the same Pobelter who now joins 4 Swines & a Bum. While the team seemingly attempted to start a serious competitive career by competing in the NACL, it disbanded just a couple of months after its creation.
While the NA team did find some initial success in the NACL and qualified for the competition’s playoffs, the biggest reason for Near Airport’s disbanding was the difficulty of balancing individual and professional lives, as the squad was made up of a mix of full-time streamers and students who struggled to find a healthy balance in both scheduling and expectations.
Los Ratones went through a similar period before emerging successfully, and 4 Swines & a Bum will likely see the same. Considering the team has some extremely successful streamers in Forsen and Drututt, it’s hard to expect them to give up their streaming careers to compete as professional players even if this LoL roster does find success.
That’s not to mention that Forsen found most of the team’s players, including Drututt, through an X post made in November 2025, just five months before the 2026 NLC began. With such little time, the newly-established team’s players may struggle to compete against experienced professionals and teams.
It ultimately remains to be seen whether 4 Swines & a Bum ends as a short-lived experiment similar to Near Airport, or if it can recreate the success Los Ratones found. Either way, expect to see their matches showing up on LoL betting sites soon.
