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.
