The NA LCS Spring Split was full of surprises (FlyQuest!) and expected results (another TSM vs. C9 final), but there’s one thing you can’t predict: the offseason. We’re in between the Spring and Summer Splits, but you can expect a flurry of roster moves this midseason.
Things got started as soon as the midseason break started, when Doublelift announced he would be returning to TSM. Since then, CLG and IMT have swapped junglers, a star rookie has found a new home and a slew of moves have been made, especially at the coaching position.
We’re going to keep this page updated with every NA LCS midseason move, be it a trade, a signing, a retirement — you name it. We also have a stream keeping track of transactions, but this page here will also have updated rosters for every NA LCS team.
All the way back until the start of the midseason, here’s every move that has been made so far, in reverse chronological order.
