Competitive Offers and Decision
Inspired received multiple offers, including options to return to Europe or stay in North America. LYON, Team Liquid, and Flyquest were among the top contenders. Ultimately, Inspired chose LYON, which presented the highest financial offer.

With Inspired on board, LYON aims to assemble a highly competitive team. They have already secured midlaner Kang “Saint” Sung-in and are seeking a prominent AD Carry from South Korea to complete their lineup.
Organizational Changes
The offseason has seen major changes for LYON. Most of their 2025 roster, as well as head coach Gabriel “Khynm” Roussy and strategic coach Tobías “Pointless” Riscica—who led the team to championships in 2023 and 2024—have departed.
According to sources, LYON is negotiating with experienced LTA head coaches to replace them, aiming to restore the team's previous success after a challenging debut in LTA.
