When and Where Did This Happen?
On January 26, 2025, during the first week of the CWL season, a surprising moment unfolded when popular League of Legends streamer Caedrel stumbled upon the CWL broadcast while streaming his LCK Watch Party. At that moment, 71,000 viewers were watching his stream, making this an unexpected spotlight moment for CWL.
What Caught Caedrel’s Attention?
While glancing at the CWL match schedule on-stream, Caedrel noticed the team ‘Los Peepos’ and their logo, which looked strikingly similar to the logo of his own NLC team, Los Ratones. Surprised by the resemblance, Caedrel reacted live on-stream:
“What is that? Wait, what ******* team is this? That looks like the Los Ratones logo. What the ****? What is that?…Eh?”
He then joked about the ownership of the logo, questioning:
“What the **** wait, who got it first? Hold up.”
At that moment, one of his chat viewers typed “Los Pantolones”, making a play on the name “Los Peepos” and “Los Ratones”. Caedrel read it out loud and laughed, fueling the humor of the situation.
Who Are Los Peepos?
Los Peepos is a team competing in CWL. The team consists of a friend group who are fans of Los Ratones. Their name is a reference to the Peepo meme, a widely recognized internet meme. When forming their team, they created their logo as a meme, inspired by Los Ratones but without any official connection.
How Did the Community React?
After the stream, discussions started appearing on Twitter. The community of Los Ratones and other viewers quickly acknowledged that the logo was an obvious parody and not an official brand copy.
One of the most popular responses stated:
“I mean they obviously did that as a joke as its not a professional league.”
This sentiment was echoed by many, clarifying that Los Peepos was simply a community-driven meme team rather than an organization trying to copy an official esports brand.

What Actions Did CWL Take?
Even though the situation was lighthearted, CWL decided to take a proactive approach. To avoid any further confusion, CWL requested Los Peepos to change their logo, which they willingly did. The team now has a new logo that distinguishes them from Los Ratones while still keeping the meme spirit alive.
Final Thoughts
This moment was a funny and unexpected crossover between CWL and a much larger esports scene. Caedrel’s reaction brought massive attention to the CWL stream, even if just for a moment. While the situation was resolved quickly, it remains a memorable and humorous moment in CWL history.
