Delicate, Zeniv, Caltys, and Sayna are four of our picks for the best female LoL players to know through their competitive records. Delicate has recent titles with different teams. Zeniv won the Equal Esports Cup in consecutive years. Caltys has repeated tournament wins and an international final; Sayna made actual starts in an open regional first division.
The most recent result connects two of them. Vitality Rising Bees beat Mental Rush 2-0 in the Equal Esports Cup final on August 29, 2026. The organizer’s 2026 lineups list Delicate in Vitality’s jungle slot and Zeniv in Mental Rush’s top lane.
This is a focused shortlist from European competition, not a worldwide ranking of current individual skill. The events and dates below explain the choices; we are not ordering these four by their current ladder positions.

The records at a glance
Delicate: from Eterna’s title to Vitality’s winning team
Start with Delicate for the most recent team title on this shortlist. Vitality’s January 20, 2026 announcement introduced her as its jungler and a reigning 2025 Game Changers champion with Eterna. She arrived with a championship already on her record.
The following season brought a new team and a different tournament. Vitality’s 2026 EEC lineup lists Delicate in the jungle, and the team won the August final against Mental Rush. Vitality’s own roster page also lists her at the September 6 check.
That progression is the reason to include her. The first title belongs to Eterna in the inaugural Game Changers year; the next belongs to Vitality in the following year’s EEC. She has winning teams to her name on both sides of the move.
Riot introduced Game Changers Rising in 2025 as an EMEA competition for women. EEC is a separate event for women and nonbinary players. These are two different competitions, not two editions of one championship.
Zeniv won back-to-back EEC titles with different teams
Zeniv’s case begins with repetition: an Equal Esports Cup win with NNOwO in 2024, followed by another with G2 Hel in 2025. The 2025 organizer report identifies the top laner as a two-time champion.
G2 Hel secured the second title by beating Solary Academy 2-1 on August 23, 2025. Following Zeniv through both wins tells you more than treating the result as another trophy for G2. The player was the link between the two winning organizations.
The next season brought another change. Zeniv appears as Mental Rush’s top laner in the 2026 EEC lineup, and that team finished runner-up to Vitality. Her consecutive titles remain the standout achievement; 2026 added a final rather than a third win. Mental Rush is the team to look up for that event, despite the G2 label on older profiles.
Caltys: three tournament wins, an international final
Caltys has a season worth looking back on. The esports player foundation’s 2023 review credits her and G2 Hel with winning all three PATHFINDERS main events that year. Repeating that result across the series earns her a place here beyond recognition from the G2 name.
In March 2023, G2 Hel also reached the GIRLGAMER Esports World Finals in Bahrain, where it lost to the Korean team Kingnigatsa. This was the GIRLGAMER competition, not Riot’s League of Legends World Championship. An international final against a team from outside Europe adds something different to the season’s other tournament wins.
The same source records sixth-place finishes in both Spring and Summer of NLC Division 3. Those placements belong alongside the titles: G2’s PATHFINDERS success did not translate into winning every league it entered. That makes the season more informative than a highlights-only trophy list.
Check the date on her role, too. G2 introduced Caltys as its AD carry in September 2022; the organizer’s 2026 EEC roster lists her in mid. Keep those records separate instead of assuming an older ADC bio describes the 2026 entry.
Sayna: actual Prime League starts, not just a roster credit
On February 9, 2023, Sayna became the first woman to play in Prime League Division 1. She debuted against Eintracht Frankfurt as a bot-lane substitute for Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition. Her program’s debut report records the appearance.
The debut was a loss. Her second appearance, 13 days later, brought a first win against E WIE EINFACH. These were games in an open regional league, not appearances in the LEC. Getting into the starting lineup and then earning a win gives this milestone more substance than a roster announcement alone.
The championship wording needs more care. UOL Sexy Edition went on to win the 2023 Spring title, but the follow-up report explicitly says Sayna did not play the upper-bracket final or grand final. Her league appearances deserve credit without turning a substitute’s place on the champion roster into a claim that she played the deciding series.
There is a later title to discuss separately. The 2024 EEC final report names Sayna among the NNOwO players who won the competition, defeating G2 Hel 2-1. Her open-league starts and that tournament win give two different reasons to know her name.
Check the event before comparing the player
A regional first division and a women’s tournament offer different opposition and routes to entry. Keep the competition and year attached to a result, then check the player’s participation. Sayna’s Spring 2023 season shows why being on a winning roster is not interchangeable with starting the final.
For a recent competition, begin with the 2026 EEC final and its team listings. For earlier achievements, the linked reports above give you named opponents, events, and dates to follow. A result becomes much more useful when you know which League competition it actually belongs to.
