Movistar KOI announced on Tuesday that Joseph Joon "Jojopyun" Pyun has extended his contract for one more year. The Canadian midlaner will stay in the LEC for the 2027 season, his fourth with the Spanish organization.
The extension comes at the end of a turbulent 2026 for MKOI. The team missed MSI and finished sixth in the Summer regular season

Worlds 2026: inside the LCK’s bootcamp solo queueJojopyun joins Elyoya (contracted through 2028) and Alvaro (through 2027) as the confirmed core for 2027, with Melzhet recently confirmed as head coach by Ibai. Myrwn and Supa are the two remaining question marks, as both reach the end of their deals after Worlds. Melzhet himself has admitted keeping the full lineup together will be difficult, as several players are expected to draw interest from other teams.
According to Sheep Esports, Jojopyun received several offers from MKOI over the course of the year, including an initial two-year proposal, before both sides settled on a one-year deal. The same source reports he will now be among the three highest-paid players in the LEC, behind Caps.
