Astralis acquired Origen and will use their branding as they enter EULCS. I find that weird as hell but okay.

In a last-minute shakeup, negotiations between Riot Games and two of its initial franchise-selects, Movistar Riders and North, for permanent partnership in the European League of Legends Championship Series have fallen through, sources close to the developer and teams told ESPN.

Riot has selected alternates from its franchise application process -- American esports organization Splyce, a team who has competed in the league since January 2016, and British esports organization exceL Esports -- who are expected to join the league in place of Movistar Riders and North, sources said. Movistar Riders and North were originally selected for franchise slots in the league in late September.
