League of Legends: Former HANJIN BRION mid-laner Lee Sang-min (ID: Loki) officially returns to the Cloud9..

American League of Legends esports powerhouse Cloud9 (C9) announced on Saturday via their official X (Twitter) account that former HANJIN BRION (BRO) mid-laner Lee Sang-min (ID: Loki) has officially returned to the team.

According to C9's official statement, after learning that the 2025 LTA North Rookie of the Year winner intended to return to an overseas team, the club immediately approached Loki and BRO, and the player immediately agreed to return.

Furthermore, according to Sheep Esports, although Loki's return is confirmed, this does not mean that current starting mid-laner APA will be benched.

On the contrary, the American League of Legends esports powerhouse is very likely to assemble an all-star 7-man roster that can be rotated at any time.

It is worth mentioning that this will mark Loki's return to Cloud9 (C9) after several months.

In November 2025, Loki decided to leave the team and return to South Korea for personal reasons. Subsequently, he joined HANJIN BRION (BRO).

During his time with BRO, Loki participated in the LCK Cup with the team, but only managed to reach the top 8 after losing to DRX in the knockout stage.

Following this adjustment, Cloud9 (C9)'s new roster is as follows:

Top: Park Seung-gyu (ID: Thanatos)

Jungler: Robert Huang (ID: Blaber)

Mid: Lee Sang-min (ID: Thanatos)

Mid: APA

Bot: Zwen

ADC: Edward Ra (ID: Tactical)

Support: Vulcan

Head Coach: IWill Dominate

Assistant Coach: Noh Dong-hyun (ID: Arrow)

Assistant Coach: YamatoCannon
