Quid Receives Offers from Shopify Rebellion, Karmine Corp, Team Liquid

Quid, the 21-year-old midlaner known as Lim “Quid” Hyeon-seung, is entering an exciting phase of his career as he becomes a free agent. Following his final game with 100 Thieves, where they faced a defeat against T1, Quid has garnered significant interest from several teams in the League of Legends esports scene.

Teams Interested in Quid

Quid has attracted attention from multiple organizations looking to bolster their rosters. Notably, the three teams leading the charge with offers are:

  • Shopify Rebellion
  • Karmine Corp
  • Team Liquid

These teams are all eager to enhance their competitiveness in their respective leagues, the LCS and LEC. Their potential spending this offseason is expected to be measured but focused on improving their midlane positions.

Quid’s Journey and Achievements

Before arriving at 100 Thieves, Quid developed his skills at the Gen.G Global Academy and made his Tier 1 debut in May 2023. Despite facing challenges in early splits, he quickly established himself as a rising star. By LCS Split 3, Quid was recognized as the Best Mid Laner in North America, earning a spot in the All-Pro Team. He was notably the only non-FlyQuest player to receive this honor.

Previously, 100 Thieves sought to acquire fellow midlaner Joseph Joon “Jojopyun” Pyun. Although this move would have shifted Quid to the AD Carry position, Jojopyun ultimately joined Movistar KOI, allowing Quid to remain in his favored role heading into 2025.

Future Prospects

The uncertainty regarding Quid’s next move continues, especially with the arrival of Sentinels, a prominent VALORANT organization entering the LCS. Although they have not yet shown interest in acquiring players, it remains plausible they might consider Quid for the vacant slot previously held by 100 Thieves.

As the situation unfolds, Shopify Rebellion, Karmine Corp, and Team Liquid are the frontrunners. Additionally, these teams are actively exploring alternative mid lane options, prepared for any eventualities should they fail to secure Quid’s signature.

Quid’s Aspirations

In a recent interview, Quid expressed his desire to join a winning team, stating, “I don’t mind where I go, but I haven’t won a title yet. I want to join a team that can win championships.” This mindset underscores his determination to contribute to a successful roster.

As the offseason progresses, Emegypt will keep a close eye on this developing story and provide updates as they become available. Quid’s next destination could significantly impact the competitive landscape in both the LEC and LCS.
