Quid Joins Team Liquid Ahead of the 2026 LCS Season
The League of Legends world has been buzzing over the latest transfer news — and this one’s a big one. Korean midlaner Lim “Quid” Hyeon-seung, the former 100 Thieves star and Spring 2024 LCS MVP, has officially chosen his next destination. After days of speculation and multiple offers from major organizations, Quid has decided to join Team Liquid for the upcoming 2026 LCS season.

Now, this decision didn’t come out of nowhere. Just a few days ago, 100 Thieves were eliminated from Worlds 2025, marking the end of both their season and their organization’s operations. Naturally, that left Quid — one of the most sought-after talents in North America — open to offers. And there were plenty. Both Shopify Rebellion and Karmine Corp were reportedly in pursuit, eager to lock down one of the strongest midlaners in the region. But ultimately, it was Team Liquid who secured his signature.
According to sources close to Sheep Esports, Quid’s choice was heavily influenced by his desire to play alongside Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in , the 2017 World Champion and four-time LCS titleholder. The opportunity to team up with such a seasoned and respected player, paired with a strong offer from Team Liquid, made them the clear frontrunner.
This move also has major implications for the LCS midlane market. By choosing to remain in North America, Quid sends a strong message that he still believes in the competitive potential of the region. And it’s worth remembering — this isn’t just any signing for Team Liquid. The same organization once denied Quid his first LCS title with a sweeping 3–0 victory during the LTA Split 1 Finals. Now, he’ll be wearing their jersey, hoping to achieve the championship success that’s eluded him so far.
Team Liquid themselves are looking to bounce back after a mixed 2025 season. They started strong with a Split 1 win but later fell short during the Split 2 Playoffs, missing out on the LTA Championship. Meanwhile, Quid’s 100 Thieves made a late resurgence, grabbing the Americas’ third seed for Worlds and earning Quid a spot on the All-Pro First Team.
Fans across social media have been following every development of this transfer saga, with supporters from all three major teams — Shopify Rebellion, Karmine Corp, and Team Liquid — rallying to convince Quid to join their side. In the end, Team Liquid’s persistence, fan support, and strong roster vision paid off.
As the 2026 LCS season approaches, all eyes will be on Quid and Team Liquid. Can this new partnership finally lead to the championship both he and the organization have been chasing? One thing’s certain — the upcoming season just got a whole lot more exciting.
