Get to know us

Hey, I’m MNBrady. 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.

Some of you may know me from my love for the LCS, posts on Reddit, or just from chatting with me in game! North American League of Legends is one of my true passions, and I have wanted to make a project to help grow love for our region and increase the overall skill!

Regional Leagues not only are a good way to grow talent, but a way for a community to develop in a local, familiar area. One of my goals I have set is to have an in-person event within the next two years. Not only build the community, but to shape what E-Sports in NA could be.

So that is where we are now. This is a competitive, regional environment that I hope to push our native players to grow together. I hope to see you all in the Discord, and on the rift!

Our mission

The Midwest Challenger League is dedicated to building a grassroots, competitive League of Legends ecosystem for high-level players across the Midwest. Our mission is to provide a structured, community-driven platform where talent can grow, compete, and be recognized.

Our vision

Our vision is to establish the Midwest Challenger League as the leading grassroots League of Legends competition in the Midwest — a league that champions local talent, unites regional communities, and creates real pathways for players, casters, and esports enthusiasts to grow.

We aim to build more than just a tournament. We are creating a foundation for long term regional esports where players are recognized not just for their skill, but for their commitment, teamwork, and passion for the game.
