Get to know us

Hey, I’m Brady — founder of the Midwest Challenger League (MCL) and a lifelong fan of competitive League of Legends. I created MCL with one goal: to give Midwest players a real stage to compete, grow, and be seen.

I’ve spent years in solo queue and community servers, watching talented players grind in the shadows without opportunities to break through. That’s why MCL exists — not for clout, but for community. We’re starting local, right here in Minnesota, to build something from the ground up that’s competitive, organized, and most importantly: for the players.

This league is entirely grassroots — no big orgs, no investors — just passionate players, volunteer staff, and people who love the game. Every match is casted, recorded, and shared. Every team matters. And as we grow, we’ll bring the entire Midwest along with us.

If you're a diamond+ player looking to prove yourself, a caster looking for reps, or a fan who wants to support something real — welcome to the MCL. Let’s build something special.
