Updates as of December 5. 

Cloud9

  • Top: Thanatos⇒ Thanatos
  • Jungle: Blaber ⇒ Blaber
  • Mid: Loki ⇒ APA
  • ADC: Zven ⇒ Zven
  • Support: Vulcan ⇒ Vulcan

Cloud9 is expected to have only one player change during this offseason. Korean player Loki has departed from the team due to personal reasons and is set to be replaced by former Team Liquid mid laner APA. With his arrival confirmed, C9’s roster for the 2026 season is completed.

Dignitas

  • Top: Photon ⇒ Photon
  • Jungle: Sheiden ⇒ Exyu
  • Mid: Keine ⇒ Palafox
  • ADC: Tomo ⇒ FBI
  • Support: Isles ⇒ Ignar*

Dignitas went for yet another rebuild for the coming season. Everyone from the 2025 roster except top laner Photon left the organization and DIG has built an interesting lineup with a good mix of veterans and domestic talents by bringing in Exyu, Palafox, and FBI.

Disguised

  • Top: CastleCastle
  • Jungle: ExyuKryRa
  • Mid: DARKWINGSCallme
  • ADC: RahelSajed*
  • Support: huhiLyonz

Big changes for the offseason for Disguised, who only keeps Castel from the previous roster. In the mid lane, the team has picked up Callme who previously played for Misa Esports and Nongshim RedForce in the LCK. Unlike other rosters, however, DSG is giving a chance to new domestic talents: KryRa will be joining from Blue Otter alongside Sajed from Maryville University. The support role will be filled by Argentinian player Lyonz.

FlyQuest

  • Top: Bwipo ⇒ Gagkos
  • Jungle: Inspired ⇒ Gryffinn
  • Mid: Quad ⇒ Quad
  • ADC: Massu ⇒ Massu
  • Support: Busio ⇒ Cryogen*

After a somewhat disappointing end to their 2025 season, there are big changes coming to FlyQuest. Bwipo, Inspired, and Busio are all set to leave the organization, alongside the coaching staff of Mithy and nukeduck.

In their stead, former FURIA head coach Thinkcard is set to join as he will be leading a roster full of young players. Substitute player Gagkos will become the starting top laner in 2026, with former T1 trainee Gryffinn as the new jungler to take up Inspired’s spot. With Busio joining KC in the LEC, FlyQuest has decided to go for a former DarkZero Dragonsteel support Croygen as he gets a shot in the LCS.

LYON Gaming

  • Top: Zamudo ⇒ Zamudo
  • Jungle: Oddielan ⇒ Inspired
  • Mid: Saint ⇒ Saint
  • ADC: Hena ⇒ Berserker*
  • Support: Lyonz ⇒ Isles*

After a season spent in the bottom half of the standings, LYON is looking to create a highly competitive roster for next year. The LATAM team will keep Zamudo in the top lane, as he will finally get his shot in the tier-one competition, alongside jungler Inspired. Saint will be the only returning player from the 2025 lineup. Korean import Berserker, who is rumored to return to the LCS after a tough season on DNF, will be pairing up with support Isles.

Sentinels

  • Top: NA ⇒ Impact
  • Jungle: NA ⇒ HamBak
  • Mid: NA ⇒ DARKWINGS
  • ADC: NA ⇒ Rahel
  • Support: NA ⇒ huhi

As the newest organization in the LCS, Sentinels had a lot of work going into the offseason. The team has officialised its 2026 roster by picking up Impact, formerly of Team Liquid, jungler HamBak from OK BRION, the Korean bot lane of Rahel and huhi, and the domestic mid laner DARKWINGS.

Shopify Rebellion

  • Top: Fudge ⇒ Fudge
  • Jungle: Contractz ⇒ Contractz
  • Mid: Palafox ⇒ Zinie
  • ADC: Bvoy ⇒ Bvoy
  • Support: Ceos ⇒ Ceos

Everyone except Palafox had contracts going until 2026, so SR is just going to bring a new player in the mid lane, and they decided to go big. After playing for KT Rolster academy, Korean player Zinie, one of the most anticipated talents from the LCK CL, will finally get his shot in the tier-one competition. With that, SR’s roster for 2026 is seemingly completed.

Team Liquid

  • Top: ImpactMorgan
  • Jungle: Yuuji ⇒ Josedeodo
  • Mid: APA ⇒ Quid
  • ADC: Yeon ⇒ Yeon
  • Support: CoreJJ ⇒ CoreJJ

Team Liquid started off as the best team in the league but then faltered heavily as the season went on. Despite Korean jungler UmTi getting replaced by the young Yuuji, TL failed to qualify for Worlds, marking a disappointing end to the 2025 campaign.

Heading into the next season, there are major roster changes for the team. Yeon is staying and CoreJJ is also expected to stay, given that Quid will be joining from 100T as the new mid laner. Josedeodo will be the new jungler for TL with LCK top laner Morgan coming in to fill the spot left open by Impact.
