Berat "Aetinoth" Tıknazoğlu, the 20-year-old Turkish ADC, is set to make a first apparition in the LFL for the 2026 season, joining Solary after a standout year with GIANTX Pride in the LVP Superliga, according to sources close to Sheep Esports.

This transfer marks a significant step in Aetinoth’s career, as he transitions from the Spanish scene to one of France’s most storied organizations, aiming to help Solary rebuild and compete for top honors in the LFL.

A young prodigy

After competing in the Italian and Turkish Tier 2 scenes, he made his LVP debut with GIANTX Pride’s academy roster two years ago, quickly establishing himself as a reliable presence in the botlane. The highlight of his year came in the Summer 2025, where GIANTX Pride dominated the competition, finishing as champions and clearly marking themselves as the best team in Spain at the end of the year. However, due to visa issues, he was unable to play during the offline Final Four at the end of the season and was replaced by Mario "Exofeng" Emilov Strugov for that tournament, which the organization also won.

Their performance was by far the strongest in the league, solidifying Aetinoth’s reputation as one of the most promising ADCs in the region. They however did not manage to show as strong during the EMEA Masters where they ultimately fell to Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition.

Solary’s strategic 2026 rebuild

Solary’s acquisition of Aetinoth is a cornerstone of their broader organizational overhaul for the 2026 LFL season. With all five previous roster members reaching the end of their contracts, Solary is assembling a new team blending experienced veterans with emerging talents.

Adding Aetinoth, alongside jungler Lanzo "Zicssi" Ciajolo, signals a clear commitment to rebuilding with ambition and a focus on future success. Head Coach Danny “Dan Dan” Le Comte will continue to lead the team, supported by a revamped staff that includes team manager Uko and scout Blazzios.
