All LEC roster moves before Summer 2026

This is the first time since the creation of the LEC that we have seen so many changes between two splits. Seven of the ten teams in the league have made at least one roster move, some bringing in several players and others changing only their coaching staff. Only , and have made no changes at all. In total, there are nine new players and two new head coaches.

The structure of these changes is helped by the LEC’s switch to three splits in 2023, but teams have never been this active in a single year. A different economic climate has also played a major role.

Despite an extremely busy schedule, still took the risk on the very day of their 0-3 elimination against LYON at MSI, and only a few days before the start of the Esports World Cup, of benching head coach Dylan Falco, who had been with the Samurai for four and a half years. The team promoted Luka “Perkz” Perković, who joined earlier this year and helped give G2 a new rhythm during the Spring Split.

The other new head coach is in fact a return to the LEC. have brought in Erlend “Nukeduck” Våtevik Holm, who reunites with Alfonso “Mithy” Aguirre Rodríguez after the success they shared at FlyQuest over the last two seasons. He arrives alongside Paul “sOAZ” Boyer, who replaces Fabian "FEBIVEN" Diepstraten as positional coach.

are looking to break through their ceiling with two roster changes after spending almost two years with the same five players. They bring in two familiar LEC faces: Óscar “Oscarinin” Muñoz Jiménez who has been without a team since the beginning of the year, and Víctor “Flakked” Lirola who is being promoted from the academy.

, after a Spring Split that became highly disappointing once playoffs arrived, chose to change direction by moving on from Marek “Humanoid” Brázda, who had only joined at the very start of the year. He is replaced by An “FIESTA” Hyeon-seo, a young Korean midlaner who comes out of two splits in LCK CL with BNK FEARX Youth and makes his second EMEA appearance after playing for Papara SuperMassive in 2024 and 2025.

, meanwhile, are going through one of the worst seasons in their LEC history and have opted for another change in an attempt to steady the ship, just like last year. This time they move on from their toplaner, benching Panagiotis "Empyros" Tantis after only two splits and bringing in another Korean player: Lim “Soboro” Seong-min, who arrives from Invictus Gaming in the LPL.

have made the expected move by officially signing Seo “SlowQ” Ye-bit for the midlane. He had already played with the team during the Esports World Cup qualifier a few weeks ago. He replaces Adam "LIDER" Ilyasov and will continue to officiate with his first team in the LEC.

have also made two changes. They keep Théo “Sheo” Borile, whom they had signed back during the Spring Split to replace Mehdi "Boukada" Lahlou, and he returns once again to the organization. He is joined by Paul “Stend” Lardin, who also finds a new home there after a difficult 2026 in terms of transfers. He signed until the end of the year.

, for their part, confirm that Kacper "Daglas" Dagiel will remain their jungler for the Summer Split, after being promoted to the LEC roster following Sheo’s departure last spring. Byeon "Hype" Jeong-hyeon is finally reunited with Han "Way" Gil as expected, since the deal the club signed with MISA Esports before Spring already included both players.
