GIANTX has entered the LEC jungler market this offseason, sources tell Sheep Esports on Friday. The Spanish organization hopes to acquire Fnatic’s jungler Iván "Razork" Martín, who is coming off a challenging year with the British team. However, the move is reportedly complicated by financial obstacles, as Razork remains under contract with Fnatic until 2026.

On the other hand, French-Belgian jungler Ismaïl "ISMA" Boualem remains under contract with GIANTX until the end of 2026 and could still stay for next season, though he has been allowed to explore his options. Razork’s potential arrival is also complicated by the fact that Fnatic are looking to bring back South Korean support Yoon "Jun" Se-jun, whom GIANTX would like to keep.

The jungler musical chairs

The jungle position is set for major changes this offseason. Fnatic inquired about Natus Vincere’s Enes "Rhilech" Uçan, but the Ukrainian organization declined any trade involving Razork. NAVI had already signed Rhilech long before the offseason, with plans to start him in 2026.

Team Heretics, who also allowed Théo "Sheo" Borile to explore his options, have shown interest in Razork, who remains under contract until 2026. Razork’s buyout, if finalized, is expected to reach close to six figures. So far, Team Heretics is the only organization to have made a direct offer, after obtaining Fnatic’s approval.

The GX project continues

At the start of 2025, the GIANTX project looked very promising. They had acquired Fnatic’s Korean botlane, kept faith in their rookie midlaner Adam “Jackies” Jeřábek, and brought in fresh blood on the topside with Eren “Lot” Yıldız. For a long time, the team was knocking on the door of the league’s top four but never quite managed to break through.

This year, they’re back with the same ambitions, aiming to upgrade their jungler position while keeping Jun. ISMA could still remain with GIANTX if no agreement is reached with the Spanish jungler. Razork will therefore enter his seventh year in the LEC after spending two seasons with Misfits Gaming and four with Fnatic. Though he never managed to win the league, he reached four finals — all lost to G2 Esports.
