In a time of turmoil for the North American League of Legends (LoL) scene, Disguised Toast, the popular streamer and content creator, has unveiled his latest venture: a fully formed roster for the Challengers League. This news comes amidst the ongoing LCS walkout, which has dominated the esports world's attention. With Disguised Toast's arrival, however, a ray of optimism shines through the gloom.
Disguised Toast's Potential LoL Roster
According to esports journalist Sander Hove, Disguised Toast's brand has assembled an impressive lineup, featuring a mix of seasoned North American talent and promising up-and-comers. The team will be led by head coach Greyson "Goldenglue" Gilmer, a well-known figure in the league, renowned for his expertise and experience. Goldenglue's previous stints with various organizations have earned him recognition as one of NA's veteran players.
At the age of 26, Goldenglue retired from professional play in 2020, transitioning smoothly into a successful coaching career with 100 Thieves. Under his guidance, the team made significant strides, culminating in an LCS Proving Grounds championship in 2021. His ability to nurture and develop young talent, as demonstrated by his work with players such as Milan "Tenacity" Oleksij, Fatih "Luger" Güven, and Shane Kenneth "Kenvi" Espinoza, bodes well for Disguised Toast's roster.

Disguised Toast's foray into the LoL scene marks his second team venture this year, with an active roster in both VALORANT and League esports. Furthermore, he has expressed interest in fielding a team for future Game Changers events, showcasing his commitment to promoting inclusivity by recently releasing a form inviting female/marginalized gender players to apply for potential tryouts.
With Disguised Toast's massive fan base, the Challengers League receives a much-needed boost. This comes at a critical time when the tier-two scene in North America faces challenges, with several LCS organizations withdrawing from the NACL. The community's faith in the region's path to pro has wavered, but the emergence of Disguised Toast's team promises to rekindle interest and support for the league.
Meanwhile, the attention of most NA League fans remains focused on the ongoing LCS walkout, resulting in a two-week delay for the 2023 LCS Summer Split. Riot Games will engage in discussions with the LCS Players Association during this hiatus, striving to find common ground and restore hope to a community teetering on the edge.
