The first big checkpoint of every new season is seeing how each LCK Roster looks when the league resets. Some teams run it back because they believe continuity is the fastest path to better results, others rebuild around a small core, and a few try to assemble a lineup that can contend immediately.
Here you will find everything you need to know about the latest LCK Roster updates. We keep this hub refreshed with the newest changes as teams lock in starters, make swaps, or adjust lineups during the split, so you can quickly see who is playing where. Whether you are checking one team or the entire league, this page is built to give you the current roster picture at a glance.
OKSavingsBank BRION
BRION enters 2026 with a rebuilt lineup that mixes veteran experience in the bot lane with newer pieces in the solo lanes. That kind of build usually signals a team trying to stay competitive now while also developing players who can become a longer-term core.
- Top: Casting
- Jungle: GIDEON
- Mid: Fisher
- ADC: Teddy
- Support: Namgung
Dplus KIA
Dplus KIA keeps a strong solo lane identity while rebuilding the bot lane with younger talent. The upside is that a proven mid and a stable jungle pairing can set the tone for the entire map. The challenge is that bot lane synergy can take time, and early season series can look messy even if the long-term ceiling is high.
- Top: Siwoo
- Jungle: Lucid
- Mid: ShowMaker
- ADC: Smash
- Support: Career
DRX
DRX continues its longer-term rebuild, combining veterans with developing players across roles. For rebuild teams, the key is usually stability in mid-jungle, because that relationship dictates early pressure, vision control, and how safe side lanes can play. If DRX can keep their mid game clean and avoid overforcing, they can grow rapidly across the split.
- Top: Rich
- Jungle: Vincenzo
- Mid: ucal
- ADC: Jiwoo
- Support: Andil
FEARX
FEARX is one of the more stable projects heading into 2026, and that alone can be an advantage in the early weeks. Continuity often shows up in small details: cleaner objective setups, better resets, and fewer communication mistakes when a fight breaks out. FEARX also has flexibility in mid, with VicLa as the headline name and Daystar as an alternative option depending on form and direction.
- Top: Clear
- Jungle: Raptor
- Mid: VicLa/Daystar
- ADC: Diable
- Support: Kellin
DN SOOPers
Formerly DN Freecs, the rebranded DN SOOPers made major upgrades and look far stronger on paper going into 2026. The interesting part is how quickly the talent turns into a clear identity. When teams improve across multiple roles, the early challenge is often alignment, meaning everyone has to agree on how the team wins games, not just how each player wants to play.
- Top: DuDu
- Jungle: Pyosik
- Mid: Clozer
- ADC: deokdam
- Support: Peter
Gen.G Esports
Gen.G heads into 2026 as the team everyone measures themselves against. Being the defending champions changes your season, because opponents treat every series like a statement match. Gen.G’s advantage is that the identity is already proven: disciplined macro, strong lane control, and a ruthless ability to punish mistakes around dragons and Baron. If they maintain the same hunger and adapt quickly to whatever the early season meta demands, they should again be the benchmark for the rest of the league.
- Top: Kiin
- Jungle: Canyon
- Mid: Chovy
- ADC: Ruler
- Support: Duro
Hanwha Life Esports
Hanwha Life fields one of the most stacked rosters on paper heading into 2026. With carry threat in multiple roles, draft can become a weapon because the team is not forced into one predictable win condition. The flip side is expectations: if a super roster starts slowly, every weakness gets amplified. Early season will be about building a consistent playbook for objectives and teamfights.
- Top: Zeus
- Jungle: Kanavi
- Mid: Zeka
- ADC: Gumayusi
- Support: Delight
KT Rolster
KT keeps a stable core and reshapes the support role, which means the team’s bot lane identity is the biggest early storyline. Some duos want to fight early, others want to scale, and some supports roam heavily to unlock mid game control. Once KT settles on a clear approach, the roster becomes easier to evaluate because the foundation in mid and jungle should give them steady structure.
- Top: PerfecT
- Jungle: Cuzz
- Mid: Bdd
- ADC: Aiming
- Support: Pollu/Ghost
Nongshim RedForce
Nongshim builds around veteran presence in mid and support, which often points toward a controlled style focused on decision-making and objective setups. In the LCK, that can win a lot of regular-season games if the team avoids messy fights and keeps vision discipline. The key will be how quickly the full five syncs in pressure moments, where one bad reset can decide a whole series.
- Top: Kingen
- Jungle: Sponge
- Mid: Scout
- ADC: Taeyoon
- Support: Lehends
T1
T1’s headline is the change at ADC, while the rest of the core remains the foundation. When most of a champion-level structure stays intact, the challenge is integrating the new piece without losing the team’s timing around waves, roams, and mid game resets. If the bot lane rhythm clicks early, T1’s overall stability through mid and jungle makes them a constant threat regardless of meta.
- Top: Doran
- Jungle: Oner
- Mid: Faker
- ADC: Peyz
- Support: Keria
LCK Awards
Every year, the LCK closes out its season with the LCK Awards, a year-end show that celebrates the league and the players who represented each LCK roster across the split. It works as a highlight reel in award form, recognizing not only champions, but also role standouts, breakout rookies, and players who defined the season through consistency, clutch performances, and leadership. For fans, it is a clean way to wrap up the storylines of the year before the next season begins and rosters reset again.
