As teams continue to battle for a spot at MSI, the time has come to celebrate the best performing players of the 2026 LEC Spring Regular Season. The All-Pro teams and MVP award winners are in, and one player stands above the rest after a stellar split that saw him become one of just two players in his position to ever win an LEC MVP award. 

Naak Nako Makes LEC History

Our 2026 LEC Spring Split MVP is none other than Team Vitality's Kaan "Naak Nako" Okan.

This is a remarkable achievement in its own right, but it is made all the more special by the fact that Naak Nako is only the second Top Laner in LEC history to win an MVP award. The last time a Top Laner won the award was 9 years ago, when Unicorns of Love's Tamás "Vizicsacsi" Kiss managed the feat in 2017 (back when the league was still called the EU LCS).

Over the course of this LEC Spring Split, Naak Nako has been absolutely untreatable in the Top Lane. The Turkish player led Team Vitality to a first place finish in the Regular Season (also only the second time in LEC history that Vitality finish a group stage in first place) after leading all Top Laners in the league in KDA (3.9), CS per minute (317), and gold per minute (432), all while playing the most amount of unique champions (14) in his role as well.

Now, it's time for Team Vitality and Naak Nako to show they can get it done in the playoffs as well as they look to secure their spot at MSI 2026 in South Korea.
