Zantins

Zantins, the competitive alias of Luccas Zanqueta, is a retired Brazilian top laner whose journey played out against the backdrop of the CBLoL, Brazil’s flagship League of Legends competition. Now 33, he belongs to an older generation of professionals who helped shape the country’s scene during its formative and expansion years, an era when Brazilian esports was carving out its place in the global conversation.

Anchoring the Top Lane

Top lane is the game’s frontier position, a stretch of the map where individual accountability runs highest and where players must balance the pull of a lonely, farm-focused lane against the wider needs of the team. Zantins operated in this space, where matchups are often decided by knowledge, patience, and the ability to seize small windows of advantage. Veterans of the role tend to develop a deep, matchup-specific understanding that only long experience can provide.

Champion Pool

His signature champions were Fizz, Jayce and Lee Sin, a trio that leans decidedly toward the aggressive and mechanically expressive end of the spectrum. Fizz is a slippery assassin, Jayce a poke-and-burst duelist who rewards precise trading, and Lee Sin one of the most skill-intensive champions ever designed. Together they paint the picture of a player who relished playmaking and prized the ability to influence the game through raw mechanics rather than passive scaling.

The CBLoL has been the beating heart of Brazilian competition for years, drawing passionate crowds and fielding some of Latin America’s most storied organizations. Building a career within that league placed Zantins in front of one of the most fervent fan bases in all of esports.

Career Reflection

Having retired from active play, Zantins can look back on a run within one of Latin America’s most prominent circuits. As one of the more experienced figures of the Brazilian top lane, his flashy champion preferences and long tenure serve as a reminder of the mechanically driven style that defined a formative period of the region’s development.
