Karmine Corp Re-Sign Kyeahoo, SkewMond to Replace Yike

Karmine Corp have made their first official move of the offseason: on November 12 the club announced that mid laner Kyeahoo has extended his contract and will play for the team in the LEC 2027 season. The other changes are so far only reported by insiders: jungler Yike is leaving for Fnatic, and SkewMond from G2 Esports will take his place.

Karmine Corp 2027 roster: who leaves, who stays and who joins

Kyeahoo stays:

Kyeahoo joined Karmine Corp from DRX ahead of the 2026 season, his first year in the LEC. The Korean's contract was due to end on November 16, and the talks were not easy: according to insiders, he had offers from LPL side JD Gaming and from LCK teams, and his agent asked for a salary on par with the three highest-paid mid laners in the LEC. In the end Kyeahoo stayed — his new contract runs until November 2027.

Leaving:

Yike — according to insiders, will join Fnatic. The Swedish jungler spent two seasons at Karmine Corp and won the 2025 LEC Winter Split with the team, having earlier won the LEC with G2 Esports. His contract ends on November 16. How Fnatic's roster is changing — in our story.

Joining:

SkewMond from G2 Esports will reportedly become Karmine Corp's new jungler. The Frenchman spent two seasons at G2 and won all three LEC events with them in 2026, but the club has no place for him in its 2027 starting lineup: G2 are bringing in Lyncas from Team Vitality to play jungle. SkewMond's G2 contract runs until November 2028, so Karmine Corp will have to pay a buyout. More on G2's changes — in our story.

Staying:

  • Canna — top laner, under contract until November 2027. The Korean has played for Karmine Corp since 2024, after spells at T1 and Dplus KIA;
  • Caliste — bot laner, under contract until November 2028. The Frenchman won the LEC in his very first split, Winter 2025;
  • Busio — support, under contract until November 2027. The American joined from FlyQuest ahead of the 2026 season.

Reapered stays as head coach: his contract runs until the end of Worlds 2027.

Karmine Corp's 2026:

Karmine Corp's 2026 season was consistent but trophyless: the team reached the Versus and Spring Split finals, finished second at the Esports World Cup 2026, and at Worlds 2026 came through the Play-In to the quarterfinals. In the summer they finished third in the LEC playoffs.

  • TOP: Canna;
  • JNG: Yike;
  • MID: Kyeahoo;
  • BOT: Caliste;
  • SUP: Busio.
