CoreJJ and Yeon are set to leave Team Liquid and spend the 2027 LCS season at Cloud9, according to insiders. Together they won the LCS 2026 Summer split with Liquid and played at Worlds 2026, where the team went out in the Swiss stage. Neither club has announced the move yet — that is expected once contracts expire in mid-November.
Joining Cloud9:
- CoreJJ — the Korean support has played for Team Liquid since 2019, eight seasons; before that he won the 2017 World Championship with Samsung Galaxy. A year ago Liquid announced his return for 2026, and his contract with the club expires on November 17;
- Yeon — the bot laner spent four seasons in Team Liquid's starting lineup, all of them alongside CoreJJ, and six years in the organization counting its academy; the duo's latest title was the LCS 2026 Summer split.
Cloud9's lineup:
According to insiders, C9 have four of five starters set: jungler Blaber and mid laner Loki, whose contract runs until 2027, stay, while Yeon and CoreJJ come in. Only the top lane is still open: Thanatos played there in 2026, and the club has not decided on 2027 yet.
Who may leave Cloud9:
- Tactical — the 2026 bot laner is exploring his options, according to insiders;
- Vulcan — the support is under contract until 2029, and Shopify Rebellion are interested in him.
Cloud9 went without a title in 2026: second at Lock-In and the Americas Cup, third in both LCS splits, and out in the Worlds Play-In after a 1:3 loss to FURIA.
What's next for Team Liquid:
Liquid lose their whole bot lane. Top laner Morgan, jungler Josedeodo and mid laner Quid also played for the team in 2026; no replacements for CoreJJ and Yeon have been reported so far.
