Caedrel

From Player to Prominent Caster

Caedrel's professional playing career began in May 2015 with xPerience eSports Club. His early years involved brief stints with teams like Giants Gaming and Renegades Banditos in the European Challenger Series. His first major breakthrough came in 2017 with H2k-Gaming, where he earned promotion to the top-tier European league, then called the EU LCS, after a 3-0 victory over Ninjas in Pyjamas.

He returned to H2k for the 2018 season as a jungler, participating in his first full EU LCS split. The team finished with an 8-10 record, reaching the quarterfinals before a defeat by Team Vitality. This period also included an infamous in-game mistake where he canceled his own ultimate ability against Team Vitality. The 2018 Summer Split was difficult, with H2k finishing 2-16.

In December 2018, Caedrel joined Excel Esports as their starting jungler. The team placed 9th in the 2019 LEC Spring Split and 10th in the Summer Split. Following another disappointing competitive season in 2020, he announced his retirement from professional play.

His broadcasting career started while he was still a player. He cast his first game in January 2020, analyzing a match between his former team Schalke 04 and Fnatic. His work that year on the European Masters and the 2020 World Championship play-in stage was widely praised, leading to a permanent on-air role for the 2021 LEC season.

The Rise of a Co-Streaming Titan

After retiring from official casting in 2023, Caedrel focused fully on streaming. The 2023 World Championship in South Korea was his first major tournament as a full-time streamer. During that event, several highlight videos from his co-stream on YouTube surpassed one million views, with his coverage of the T1 versus JD Gaming semifinal reaching two million.

His co-streaming dominance was clear in 2024. He was the most-watched co-streamer at the 2024 World Championship, achieving a peak viewership of 372,000 during the final between Bilibili Gaming and T1 in London. His channel also accounted for 17.02 million hours watched, representing 19.4 percent of the tournament's total viewership across all official and co-streams.

He broke his own record the following year. During the 2025 World Championship final between KT Rolster and T1, his stream peaked at 422,292 viewers. His consistent co-streaming schedule covers the full LCK and LEC seasons, select matches from the LPL and LCS, and every major international competition including the Mid-Season Invitational.

His influence extends to partnerships with organizations. In January 2024, he joined Fnatic as a content creator and their official LEC co-streamer, a partnership that lasted until December 2024. This formal role highlighted how teams valued his ability to engage and grow their fanbase.

Founding and Coaching Los Ratones

In November 2024, Caedrel announced the creation of Los Ratones, a professional team where he served as founder, co-owner, and head coach. He assembled a notable roster featuring players like Thebausffs, Nemesis, Crownie, and Rekkles. The team's first competitive year in 5 was successful.

Los Ratones won all three splits of the Northern League of Legends Championship in 2025, taking the Winter, Spring, and Summer titles. They also secured victory in the Winter and Spring splits of the EMEA Masters tournament the same year. Beyond official competitions, the team won the 2024 NNO Cup and triumphed over T1 in showmatches at the 2024 and 2025 Red Bull League of Its Own events.

This regional success earned them an invitation to compete in the LEC's special 'LEC Versus' split to start the 2026 season. For this Tier 1 debut, Caedrel transitioned to the role of assistant coach, with YamatoCannon taking over as head coach. The team finished the tournament with a 5-6 record, just missing the playoffs.

Los Ratones disbanded in February 2026. It was revealed the team had planned to fold after its final EMEA Masters run if it did not receive an LEC invitation for 2026. The venture marked Caedrel's return to the LEC in a formal capacity after his casting retirement and demonstrated his commitment to competitive development beyond broadcasting.

Content Creation and the League Awards

Caedrel's content empire spans multiple platforms. On YouTube, he operates three distinct channels. The main Caedrel channel uploads esports content from his co-streams. Caedrel Clips features short snippets from his Twitch broadcasts, and MoreCaedrel hosts variety gaming content and collaborative videos.

In June 2024, he and former broadcast colleague Sjokz announced the creation of the League Awards. This ceremony is dedicated to celebrating League of Legends esports and recognizing outstanding players each season. Caedrel co-hosted the first event in Berlin on 5 December 2024 and the second in Munich on 28 November 2025.

His work as an onsite co-streamer for major events also forms a key part of his content. He was selected as one of two EMEA region co-streamers for the 2023 World Championship final in Seoul, alongside Ibai Llanos. He later provided in-person co-streams for the 2025 Mid-Season Invitational in Vancouver and the 2024 and 2025 World Championship finals.

Early Life and Gaming Origins

Marc Lamont was born on 19 March 1996. He grew up in Spain, becoming fluent in Spanish. His early exposure to gaming came from watching his brother play World of Warcraft. As a child, he played games like RuneScape and Halo 3, developing a foundation in multiplayer and competitive gaming environments.

His introduction to League of Legends was influenced by friends who had shifted to playing PC games. He downloaded the game onto his laptop, beginning the journey that would lead to a professional career. This multicultural background and early immersion in gaming culture provided a natural pathway into the esports industry, first as a competitor and later as a commentator and entrepreneur.
