We’re barely two months into the LEC season, and the first split of winter has already sparked significant movement in the competition. Just days ago, rumors surfaced about Isma possibly leaving his jungler role at SK to make way for Boukada, a change that’s understandable given the Germans’ disastrous start to the season. However, a new rumor has dropped, leaving the entire community stunned. According to reports from LEC Wooloo, which Vitality later confirmed, Nisqy is set to return to the LEC, but with a twist – he’ll be taking on the support role, replacing Hylissang in the French team alongside Carzzy.
Nisqy’s Shocking Role Swap
After a tumultuous 2024 with SK, Nisqy, one of the LEC’s veteran players, found himself without a team in the top European competition for 2025. The Belgian player has been inactive for months, searching for a new organization, and it seems his search is finally over. As confirmed by the team, Nisqy will occupy the support position at Vitality, a surreal move that has caught the community off guard. He’ll be working with Pad, who previously coached him during his time at MAD Lions, and who believes that with time, Nisqy can become an excellent support player.
While reviewing Nisqy’s recent activity, it’s clear he’s been practicing his support skills in SoloQ for a few weeks, but there are still doubts about what he can bring to the table in this new role, especially considering he has limited professional experience in it. The community is eager to see how this unexpected change will play out, and whether Nisqy can adapt to his new position.
Hylissang’s Emotional Farewell
You may agree or disagree about Hylissang’s level of performance in recent years, but one thing is certain – he’s a legend in European League of Legends. With 11 consecutive years in the LEC, six World Championship appearances, and three titles in the top European competition, he’s always been held in high esteem as one of the best support players in the league. If this split goes as planned, it would be the first time we wouldn’t see ‘The Professor’ in the LEC since 2014, when he competed with Unicorns Of Love.
Although Hylissang’s career may have been marred by his recent performances, which have sparked debate among fans, he still showed glimpses of brilliance in the last split, proving he’s a top-notch support player. The community is unsure how this change will affect Vitality, but one thing is certain – the team will have a lot more eyes on them, eager to see how Nisqy adapts to his new role and how the team performs with this surprising change. Only time will tell how this wild transfer will play out, but it’s sure to be an exciting ride.
