Karmine Corp has confirmed that Kang ‘kyeahoo’ Ye-hoo will continue with KC for the 2027 League of Legends season.
The re-signing puts an end to speculation over the Korean Mid Laner’s potential to play elsewhere next year, with four of KC’s five-man roster now known for 2027.
kyeahoo re-signs with Karmine Corp after promising first year
kyeahoo re-signs after a largely successful 2026 for Karmine Corp that saw the roster finish as the best-placing EU team at Worlds, finishing 5th-8th after a 1-3 defeat in the quarter-finals to T1.
While Karmine Corp failed to win a trophy domestically in 2026, the Worlds performance, alongside a runners-up placement at EWC 2026 in Paris, proved the potential of the roster on the international stage.
kyeahoo proved to be a stable and dependable aspect of that success, proving to be a strong individual laner for KC and earning a placement in the LEC Summer 1st All-Pro team over G2’s Rasmus ‘Caps’ Winther.
The season was only kyeahoo’s first in the Karmine Corp roster after arriving from DRX in late 2025, but will not be the last after the 21-year-old opted for an extension with the French org.
Karmine Corp’s 2027 roster is now clear with one notable exception: The Jungling position. The 2027 KC roster will be as follows:
- Top: Kim ‘Canna’ Chang-dong
- Jungle: ???
- Mid: Kang ‘kyeahoo’ Ye-hoo
- ADC: Caliste ‘Caliste’ Henry-Hennebert
- Support: Alan ‘Busio’ Cwalina
Former G2 jungler Martin ‘Yike’ Sundelin is the only player from the 2026 roster who has yet to be confirmed for the 2027 version of the team as KC attempts to make a deal with G2 for Rudy ‘SkewMond’ Semaan.
Widely regarded as one of the best junglers in the West, SkewMond is reportedly set to leave G2 even after the firing of former Head Coach Luka ‘Perkz’ Perković.
The last spot in the 2027 KC roster now seemingly comes down to whether the org can get that particular deal over the line, or whether SkewMond will end up elsewhere.
