Ian “ido” McCormick will remain Disguised's Head Coach for the 2026 season, according to sources close to Sheep Esports. Promoted at the start of Split 2 to replace Brandon “Mash” Phan, Ido will continue to lead the team’s coaching staff.

The organization, owned by streamer Disguised Toast, joined the North American league in 2025. Their first year proved difficult, finishing last in Splits 1 and 2 before placing 5-6th in Split 3. The team was also required to play in the end-of-year promotion tournament due to their Guest Team status, and successfully earned their way back to.

Disguised chose continuity

The organization opts for continuity ahead of the 2026 season. So far, no changes to the player lineup have been reported, but it’s worth noting that the entire 2025 roster sees its contracts expiring in November.

ido is a veteran of the collegiate space, having worked with many of the best up-and-coming League of Legends talents in NA. Most recently, he coached Fear X Starforge during their run to the Grand Finals of the Americas Challengers tournament last year and was set to coach the Pulsestar roster that could've competed at the top of the NACL—had it not fallen apart before the split began. With Ido, DSG is hoping to right the ship — they've had flashes of brilliance together during the season, and their very last series in LTA against Cloud9 proves they could become even greater under ido's command.

Speaking earlier this year at the end of Split 3 with Sheep Esports, ido reflected on the roster’s growth: “We framed everything around that we are underdogs, and it is going to be a difficult match. Everyone knew the odds were stacked against us, but I think we weren’t counting ourselves out or anything.”
