KOI has landed one of the biggest stars in the League of Legends offseason: Jojopyun, the highly-touted Canadian midlaner, will officially join the Spanish team for the 2025 LEC season.
Known for his immense potential and past performances, Jojopyun has the chance to become one of the top players in the league, especially if he can return to his peak form.
The Journey to KOI
Just over a month ago, while MAD Lions KOI was still competing in the 2024 Worlds, news emerged that one of the most promising midlaners in the Western scene, Jojopyun, would soon become a free agent. His contract with Cloud9 was coming to an end, making him one of the hottest prospects on the market.
Jojopyun, despite his young age, had already established himself as one of the best talents in North America’s LCS, and his departure from Cloud9 quickly sparked interest. As MAD Lions were eliminated from Worlds, rumors intensified, particularly as KOI’s search for a midlaner began following Fresskowy’s departure from the team.
The Move Becomes a Reality
The speculation reached its peak when Ibai, KOI’s co-owner and popular streamer, hinted at having conversations with Jojopyun. These interactions, amplified across social media, only fueled the excitement among fans. And now, it’s confirmed: Jojopyun will be the starting midlaner for KOI in 2025.
With MAD Lions set to disappear from the brand, KOI will enter the LEC next season under its own banner, with Jojopyun taking center stage alongside Myrwn, Elyoya, Supa, and Álvaro.
Fan Reactions and Community Support
Despite the official announcement from KOI still pending, the move has already been confirmed by sources like Sheep and a stream involving Ibai, Kuentin, and Karchez, who revealed the signing during a late-night broadcast.
Jojopyun has quickly endeared himself to the KOI fanbase, engaging with Ibai and the community on social media platform X, and positioning himself as a rising icon within the Spanish League of Legends scene.
Conclusion
With Jojopyun joining KOI for the 2025 LEC season, the Spanish organization secures one of the most promising midlane talents in the West. Fans are eager to see how Jojopyun’s addition will boost KOI’s chances in the upcoming season, especially with a strong roster built around him.
All eyes will be on the Canadian star to see if he can live up to the hype and establish himself as one of the league’s finest.
