Enes Ucan Was Named European Championship Rookie of the Year on the Same Day He Knocked GIANTX Out of the Playoffs
The twenty-year-old Turkish jungler, signed from BK ROG Esports, beat Jopa and Rooster to the award and was the only Natus Vincere player on an All-Pro team.
Enes Ucan, who plays as Rhilech, was named the 2026 League of Legends European Championship Rookie of the Year on 11 September, hours before helping Natus Vincere eliminate GIANTX in a five-game quarter-final in Berlin.
The twenty-year-old Turkish jungler beat SK Gaming's bot-laner Josip Jopa Cancar and the Shifters top-laner Shin Rooster Yun-hwan to the award. He succeeds Caliste Henry-Hennebert of Karmine Corp, who won it the previous year.
Rhilech was the only Natus Vincere player named on the LEC Summer third All-Pro team. The organisation first brought him in as a reserve before signing him from BK ROG Esports for the 2026 season.
He said the award felt amazing but was just the tip of the iceberg for him, and that he had come to the league knowing his potential, worked as much as he could, built his discipline and trusted his teammates and coaches.
