Quid Selects Team Liquid for 2026 LCS Season
Lim “Quid” Hyeon-seung, the former midlaner of 100 Thieves, has officially signed with Team Liquid for the upcoming 2026 LCS Season. This announcement comes just days after 100 Thieves was eliminated from the 2025 World Championship and subsequently ceased operations.
Quid Chooses Team Liquid for 2026 LCS Season
Quid’s decision to join Team Liquid positions the organization as a leader in the midlane market. Competing against Shopify Rebellion and Karmine Corp, Team Liquid secured his signature thanks to aligning goals and a lucrative offer. Quid expressed a strong desire to play alongside Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in, a former Worlds Champion and accomplished four-time LCS Champion.
Impact on the Competitive Landscape
This signing is expected to have significant implications for the competitive landscape of the LCS. Quid’s choice might bolster Team Liquid’s chances at securing their first championship title after enduring a rollercoaster performance in the last season.
- Quid was named Spring 2024 LCS MVP.
- Team Liquid previously lost to Shopify Rebellion in the Split 2 Playoffs.
- Quid was part of a strong comeback for 100 Thieves during Split 3 of the previous season.
The move follows the announcements of departures from both competing teams: Shopify Rebellion’s Cristian “Palafox” Palafox and Karmine Corp’s Vladimiros “Vladi” Kourtidis. This shift marks a significant reshaping of roster dynamics within the LCS.
Team Liquid’s Aspirations
With Quid’s addition, Team Liquid is hopeful that they will return to form after a disappointing season. Their last split saw them struggle to qualify for major championships, which highlighted a need for reinforcement in the midlane.
Fan Engagement and Social Media Buzz
The acquisition generated considerable excitement among fans on social media. Supporters from various teams rallied to convince Quid to join them but ultimately, Team Liquid successfully captured his interest. Quid’s commitment to staying in North America is a testament to the region’s growing competitive appeal.
As the 2026 LCS Season approaches, all eyes will be on Quid and Team Liquid as they aim to redefine their success in the league.
