The first season of LoL Continental League kicks off this weekend. Our new roster led by Danil "Diamondprox" Reshetnikov expects a challenging baptism of fire as Gambit LoL is set to face LCL Summer 2016 semi-finalists NaVi and reigning champions M19 (ex-Albus NoX Luna). Given that Riot Games new studio in Moscow isn't ready yet to accommodate teams this week, the games will be played in an online setting.

Our opponents made roster changes during the off-season as well. Interestingly, the teams exchanged their AD Carries - VincentVega now represents M19, whereas aMiracle -NaVi. It's worth noting that former Mid Laner of Gambit's LCS EU roster, Sebastian "niQ" Robak has joined the ranks of Natus Vincere as well.
