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 has decided not to renew with Flyquest, opting to remain in the LCS by signing with the Latin American organization.
The two-time LCS MVP received offers from Europe and North America, with top contenders including LYON, Team Liquid, and Flyquest. Ultimately, Inspired accepted the highest offer from LYON.
LYON's Ambitious Roster Moves
- Inspired will be among the highest-paid players in the LCS in 2026, possibly the highest.
- LYON is assembling a competitive lineup featuring midlaner Kang “Saint” Sung-in.
- The team is also pursuing a strong, reputable AD Carry from South Korea.
This offseason has been intense for LYON, who released most of their 2025 roster along with head coach Gabriel "Khynm" Roussy and strategic coach Tobías "Pointless" Riscica. These coaches led the team to championships in 2023 and 2024.
LYON is currently in talks with proven LTA Head Coaches to find replacements, aiming to return to their winning form after a disappointing debut in the LTA.
