In a bold move that echoes the departure of TSM from the league, Shopify Rebellion is gearing up for their inaugural LCS split, flaunting a star-studded roster that seamlessly blends familiar faces with new talent. The anticipation is palpable, and fans are in for a treat as the team takes center stage.
Returning to the LCS arena are Bugi and Insanity, who once donned the TSM colors as jungler and mid laner, respectively. The experienced Reven, a seasoned coach, is set to wield his expertise at the helm of Shopify Rebellion. And who could forget the veteran presence of WildTurtle, making a comeback not as a player but as a prominent streamer and the team's bot lane substitute.
But the excitement doesn't end there. The roster boasts a triumphant reunion from the NACL Summer Playoffs, with FakeGod, Zeyzal, and Tomio locking arms under the Shopify Rebellion banner. FakeGod and Zeyzal are poised to reclaim the spotlight after a hiatus, while Tomio stands ready as a substitute for the returning Bugi. The team's strategy with these two talented players remains shrouded in mystery, leaving fans eager to see how they'll factor into the upcoming season.
Adding an international flair to the ensemble is Bvoy, a fresh face in the North American scene but a seasoned competitor on the global stage. With a track record in LPL, LEC, LLA, and CBLoL, Bvoy brings a wealth of experience to the team. Having previously collaborated with coach Reven, he's no stranger to the strategies that lead to victory. Despite being new to his North American teammates, Bvoy's international journey sets the stage for an exciting dynamic within the squad.
