Who is Forsen? Inside the veteran Twitch star's surprise entry into competitive League of Legends

Times of India
Twitch veteran Forsen, ranked Platinum 3, is making a surprise entry into the NLC 2026 Winter split as jungler for Drututt's team '4 SWINES & A BUM', alongside former LCS champion Pobelter and other pros.

Twitch veteran Forsen is set to begin an official League of Legends esports run in the NLC 2026 Winter split, marking one of the most unusual streamer-to-competition crossovers in recent years. The Swedish streamer, known for his long-running Twitch presence and 1.8 million followers, has registered as the jungler for the newly formed team “4 SWINES & A BUM,” created by streamer Drututt. Currently ranked Platinum 3 with a solid win rate despite recently starting League, Forsen is far below typical professional ranks, drawing massive attention to the team's NLC participation. The roster blends streaming pull and competitive experience: Drututt in top lane (Challenger-ranked), Pobelter in mid (former LCS champion), Jackspektra and Veigarv2 in bot lane. Leaguepedia confirms the team's official entry into the sanctioned EMEA regional league. This move symbolizes the intersection of streaming influence, content-driven team building, and esports, especially amid the rise of media teams in 2026. Community discussions highlight the entertainment value, with Forsen's rapid climb and massive audience expected to boost viewership significantly.
