Sources: Inspired Chooses LYON for the 2026 LCS Season
Kacper “Inspired” Słoma will join LYON for the 2026 League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) season, according to sources close to Sheep Esports. The Polish jungler decided not to extend his contract with FlyQuest but chose to remain in the LCS under the Latin American organization.
The two-time LCS MVP had multiple offers, including from European teams, Team Liquid, and FlyQuest. However, he ultimately selected LYON, who made an aggressive move to sign him with the highest reported offer. Inspired is expected to be among the top-paid players in the LCS in 2026.
“LYON promised to field a competitive roster for the 2026 LCS Season which includes midlaner Kang ‘Saint’ Sung-in.”
Sources also indicate that LYON is searching for a well-known AD Carry from South Korea to complete their lineup. The organization is entering a fast-paced offseason marked by major changes.
Coaching Changes and Team Overhaul
LYON has confirmed the departure of most of its 2025 roster, along with head coach Gabriel "Khynm" Roussy and strategic coach Tobías "Pointless" Riscica, both instrumental in securing title wins in 2023 and 2024. Reports suggest LYON is in talks with experienced LTA head coaches as possible replacements, aiming to return to their championship form after a disappointing LTA debut.
Author’s summary: Inspired’s move to LYON marks a bold new chapter for both player and team, with the organization signaling full commitment to regain their competitive edge in 2026.
