A Focus on Youth and the Return of Veterans

The head coach is now Yanis "Blidzy" Paul, who replaced Vasilis "TheRock" Voltis, who moved to  Natus Vincere . His assistant remains Benjamin "Fara" Stoffel, who assisted the team last season and previously worked with  GameWard .

Two players were promoted from the KCB Blue Stars academy to the main roster. Xu "Tao" Hongtao Alessandro took the top lane, having been chosen even before the transfer window opened. His teammate from the system, 18-year-old marksman Costin "Hazel" Pestrițu, will balance playing with his final year of studies.

In the mid lane, Kamil "Kamiloo" Odęgond, formerly of  Team Heretics  in the LEC, has joined. He returns to the LFL, having no other options at the top level. The support role is filled by the experienced Olivier "Prime" Payet, who declined to renew his contract with Ici Japon Corp to join KCB.

A key event was Johnny "Yukino" Dang's decision to stay with the team. Despite interest from  FlyQuest  and a preliminary agreement between the clubs, the jungler chose to remain in Europe. According to Kamel "Kameto" Kebir, the final decision was made by the player himself, citing comfort and team atmosphere.
