The Turkish Esports Federation (TESFED) announced on May 11 that it has finalized its selection process for the Esports Nations Cup 2026 (ENC26). National coaches have locked in their roster choices across the nine disciplines in which Turkey will be represented:
- VALORANT
- League of Legends
- Mobile Legends: Bang Bang
- Dota 2
- PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS
- PUBG MOBILE
- Rocket League
- Honor of Kings
- Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege X
As a reminder, ENC 2026 will be held in Riyadh from November 2 to 29 and marks the very first edition of the competition. Out of 16 titles on the program, Turkey is therefore lining up on slightly more than half — a footprint comparable to the most structured nations in EMEA. As with other countries, further titles may yet be added to the federation's slate in the coming weeks.
A League of Legends roster under close scrutiny
The ENC's LoL tournament will run from November 21 to 29, immediately following Worlds 2026, and will pit 32 nations against one another for a $1.5 million prize pool. While the TCL has lost its status as a major league in favor of the ERL circuit, Turkey remains one of the most active talent pools in Europe, with several players currently holding starting spots in the LEC.
According to information reported in recent weeks, TESFED appears to be assembling a particularly competitive roster. Sergen "BrokenBlade" Çelik (G2 Esports) is locked in at toplane, while Enes "Rhilech" Uçan (NAVI) would be the starting jungler, with Can "" Çelik — 2021 LCS champion with 100 Thieves — slotted in as substitute.
