Sources: Kaboom set to join Ici Japon Corp in the LFL

A new face is about to enter the LFL. According to Sheep Esports sources, Ici Japon Corp has reached a verbal agreement with Osman “Kaboom” Onur Korkmaz. According to our information, the Turkish jungler also held discussions with Joblife and Karmine Corp Blue. Kaboom began his professional career a year and a half ago and made his debut in an ERL1 during the Winter 2025 Split, in Italy (LIT), with EKO Esports. He later returned to Turkey for the TCL Summer Split, joining ULF Esports. However, midway through the season, Kaboom switched teams and signed with SuperMassive.

His run in the Turkish league ended early, in the quarterfinals of the Lower Bracket, against his former team, ULF. Currently ranked Grand Master, Kaboom peaked this season at Challenger with 1749 LP last July, according to lolpros data — just below his all-time best of 1767 LP. The jungler is a Pantheon main, the champion he has played the most this season both in solo queue and in competitive matches (five games).

A season of decline

Kaboom joins an Ici Japon Corp roster that has gradually declined over the course of the season — its first in the French League of Legends elite. Finalists of both the LFL Winter Split and the EMEA Masters on their debut appearances, IJC dropped to sixth place in the French championship during the Spring Split, narrowly missing playoff qualification. Without Lee “Hans SamD” Jae-hoon for the Summer Split, Ici Japon Corp continued to slide, ending the third split of the year in seventh place. In the jungle, the Turkish player will take over from Theo “Theocacs” Sauda, one of the good surprises of the season.
