Toplaner Martin "Wunder" Hansen will join SK Gaming for the LEC 2026 season, sources tell Sheep Esports on Friday. Teamless after setting of the bench of Team Heretics since the end of 2024, Wunder will join the new project of the German team. In this new roster, Wunder will reunite with a former teammate as Mihael "Mikyx" Mehle is also joining SK. The two players have been aiming to play together again for a while now. This could have happened after the last spring split when Fnatic tried to form a six-man roster with Wunder, but the player turned down the offer.

SK Gaming is looking to build a new project after the failure of their previous year. As such, the five players from the summer 2025 roster were allowed to explore their options at the beginning of the offseason. This will be the fifth LEC organization that the Danish toplaner will play for since his arrival in EU LCS in 2016.

Interestingly, Wunder's arrival in the team was also requested by Mikyx, and is one of the strong reasons that Mikyx is joining SK Gaming. Had the "Mikyx-project" not gone through, SK Gaming considered other Toplaners such as Volodymyr "Maynter" Sorokin or Park "DnDn" Geun-woo.

The grand return of the toplane’s face

Wunder returns to the biggest European league with a reputation that precedes him. In the past, he marked the toplane with his talent from his beginnings with Splyce to his last year with Team Heretics. In 2018, he joined G2 and stayed there for four seasons, where he dominated the league. He will win four LEC titles in a row with the samurais. He will also win the MSI 2019 and reach the Worlds final that same year, coming very close to achieving the grand slam with G2.

After a disappointing 2021 season, Wunder joins Fnatic the following year. He would not win any more LEC titles and would eventually join his former teammates Luka "Perkz" Perković and Marcin "Jankos" Jankowski at Team Heretics for an experience that would yield nothing. Teamless last year, he would play one match during the NLC winter split playoffs for The Ruddy Sack. At 26, he is therefore making his return to the LEC, a year after leaving it.

The new version of SK is taking shape

With this new recruitment, SK Gaming's new project is gradually taking shape. After giving head coach Tiago "OWN3R" Mendes the opportunity to rebuild the team at the beginning of the offseason, SK Gaming quickly took action. Duncan "Skeanz" Marquet was the first player secured by SK after a good first split with the team. The team has recruited Simon "Baguette" Cordonnier as an assistant coach. In addition to that, the team has made the decision to move its headquarters to Cologne and travel to Berlin on match days. It remains to be seen if all these changes will help SK have a better year than the one that just passed, where the team failed to qualify for the playoffs in all three splits.
