GIANTX's completed 2026 Summer Split LEC roster

have made the biggest roster shake-up in the LEC ahead of the 2026 Summer Split, bringing in two familiar names to fill their toplane and botlane positions: Víctor “Flakked” Lirola and Óscar “Oscarinin” Muñoz. They will replace Oh “Noah” Hyeon-taek and Eren “Lot” Yıldız respectively, as the organization looks to push past the ceiling it believes this lineup had already reached.

Beyond the competitive logic, this move also fits the identity GIANTX has been building. With both Flakked and Oscarinin, the team strengthens its Spanish connection and further ties itself to a fan base that has become increasingly central to its brand. That connection has already been visible during the team’s Roadtrip appearances in Madrid, where the crowd support mirrored the atmosphere often seen behind Movistar KOI.

This is GIANTX’s first roster move since the 2024/2025 offseason, a period in which the team stayed committed to its data-driven rebuild and continued developing the same five players. That patience has produced respectable results, with the team finishing fifth three times in 2025 and fourth twice in 2026. Even so, the organization now appears to believe that this lineup had reached its limit just short of the LEC podium.

According to David "Lozark" Alonso, the club’s esports director, a change had been called for by the entire team. He pointed to the club’s inability to create an atmosphere and environment that would allow those two players to perform at their best. Instead, they want to test new strengths with new players and take risks in the hope of reaching a higher league position that could take the organization to the next level.

Noah and Lot were not lacking in talent, but both players came under scrutiny for different reasons. Noah in particular struggled through lane phases across the spring split, finishing among the league’s weakest ADCs in several key metrics, including gold differential at 15 minutes, experience differential at 15, CS differential at 15, gold per minute, and CS per minute. Lot’s case was different, as he remained a solid laner by LEC standards, but GIANTX still opted to seek a different dynamic in the toplane.

Oscarinin is back in the LEC after being inactive since Worlds 2025. He had spent the start of the year looking for a new opportunity, but ultimately had to focus on streaming and solo queue after leaving Fnatic. GIANTX now becomes only the second organization he will represent in the LEC, and he will reunite with Jun, with whom he previously shared time at Fnatic in 2024.

For GIANTX, the move also reflects a desire to inject more proven toplane firepower into a roster that has been close, but not close enough, to the top of the standings. Although considered inconsistent last year, Oscarinin still carries several series in which he over performed and helped his team to be in the best possible position. Not to mention he is able to carry a game on his own as well as play on the weak side, as Fnatic used to focus on botlane almost all year long.

Flakked’s path back to the LEC has been longer but no less notable. Promoted from GIANTX’s academy team, he spent the Winter and Spring 2026 splits with GIANTX iTero, where the results were mixed: a 5th-6th finish in the first tournament, followed by another fifth-place result in Spring. Despite that, he never truly came close to reaching EMEA Masters, yet still did enough to earn a return to the top level.

The Spanish AD carry previously played for G2 Esports in 2022 and spent two and a half years with Team Heretics between 2023 and 2025. This will be his first LEC run alongside this particular GIANTX roster, and the organization also considered Team Vitality’s current ADC, Matyáš “” Orság, before settling on Flakked.
