Sources: HARPOON to replace Jezu at Galions, Xani set to join as Head Coach

Galions are reshuffling the deck ahead of the final split of the year. According to sources close to Sheep Esports, the organization has reached a verbal agreement with Franciszek “HARPOON” Gryszkiewicz to join as starting AD Carry for the 2025 LFL Summer Split, replacing Jean "Jezu” Massol, who is out of the team.

Alongside him, Galions are also set to bring in Nikola “Xani” Zrinjski as Head Coach, reuniting the duo that dominated the regional scene last year with Zero Tenacity, and LFL Div2 with Esprit Shônen.

Initially, Galions were exploring options for a change in the toplane, but Xani’s arrival helped resolve internal disagreements within the roster. As a result, only the ADC position will ultimately be changed. Esprit Shônen allowed HARPOON to leave without a buyout. The AD Carry was also considered by LFL team Ici Japon Corp as a replacement for Lee "Hans SamD" Jae-hoon.

These changes come as Galions, widely regarded as one of the most stacked rosters in the league, struggled to perform at both Flash In and the Spring Split. Eliminated by Solary in a tight 4th place series at Flash In, they ended the Spring Split in 5th–6th place, losing again in a five-game series to Vitality.Bee.

HARPOON has rapidly established himself as one of LFL Division 2's most promising ADC talents, known for his aggressive playstyle and clutch performances. Before arriving in France, HARPOON made waves in his home country with Zero Tenacity, where he first teamed up with coach Xani. Together, they dominated the regional scene by winning both Ultraliga splits of 2024 and qualifying for the EMEA Masters, marking the first major titles of their careers. Since early 2025, the duo kept cruising together at Esprit Shônen in LFL Division 2, capturing the Winter Split and finishing as runners-up in Spring after a tough series against Team Valiant.

Meanwhile, Xani has steadily built his reputation as one of the most cerebral minds in European coaching. After starting his career in 2018, transitioning from jungler with Gentside (where he played alongside Lucas “SAKEN” Fayard) to coaching Vitality.Bee at the LFL’s inception in 2019, he spent two years shaping young talent before moving on to Misfits. There, he coached in both the LFL and LEC, achieving a 4th place finish in Summer 2021 during the era of Iván “Razork” Martín Díaz and Vincent “Vetheo” Berrié.

Galions are now placing their faith in this proven partnership, opting to replace their star ADC Jezu — who has been with the organization since early 2023 — with the younger, rising star HARPOON. The goal is clear: reignite their botlane with fresh firepower and strategic leadership.
