LYON have signed Korean toplaner Cho "Castle" Hyeon-seong from Disguised and will run a six-man rotation in top alongside Niship "Dhokla" Doshi for the remainder of the LCS Spring 2026 split. The move was confirmed by COO and co-founder Biblos in a video statement.
Biblos framed the signing as a response to a wider slump rather than a verdict on Dhokla alone. He pointed to a drop in form since First Stand in Brazil, volatile scrims, and a disappointing run at the EWC 2026 qualifier — a step backward, he said, for a roster that came in as Lock-In 2026 champions. Biblos confirmed his conversation with Dhokla had taken place face-to-face, and that the toplaner accepts his individual level has dropped. The COO stressed that the move is competitive rather than punitive: "The player who performs best is the one we'll see on stage," he said.
The Korean toplaner arrives from Disguised, where he had been competing since the start of the year. He's been a fixture of the LCS scene since 2024, with previous stints including Immortals. The signing follows ADC Kim "Berserker" Min-cheol's transition to North American residency status earlier this year. With Berserker no longer counting as an import, LYON had room to add a third Korean to the lineup — Castle joins midlaner Kang "" Sung-in as the team's two imports, completing a stage roster with jungler Kacper "" Słoma and support Jonah "" Rosario under head coach Kim "" Yeu-jin.
