Over two seasons with Dignitas, Isles played alongside veterans like Nicolaj "Jensen" Jensen, Eric "Licorice" Ritchie, and Jesper "Zven" Svenningsen, but the team struggled to break into the league’s upper echelon, finishing no higher than fifth place during his tenure.

LYON has already secured star jungler Kacper "Inspired" Słoma and kept midlaner Kang "Saint" Sung-in for 2026, marking a clear intent to build a competitive roster. Additionally, LYON is rumored to have signed a promising toplane talent from the North American region, along with a highly skilled South Korean AD Carry to bolster their botlane.
