Karmine Corp extend kyeahoo through 2027

Karmine Corp have kept their midlaner. The French organisation announced on Thursday that Kang “kyeahoo” Ye-hoo will stay in their LEC lineup for 2027.

kyeahoo joined from DRX last winter, and his contract was registered to end on 16 November 2026. That would have made him a free agent early next week. He had reportedly drawn interest from LCK and LPL teams while talks with KC went on.

The club confirmed it with a short message on X:

The wolf stays home. kyeahoo will be our LEC midlaner in 2027.

His first year in Europe took KC further than they had ever been. In July they knocked T1 out of the EWC semi-finals, then lost the grand final 3-0 to Dplus KIA. In the LEC they went unbeaten through the regular season and qualified for Worlds for the first time. As Europe’s third seed they won the Play-In, reached the Swiss Stage and made the quarter-finals, where T1 beat them 3-1.

Keeping kyeahoo settles one of the main questions about KC’s 2027 roster. Canna and Busio are under contract until November 2027, and Caliste until 2028. The jungle is next: Yike’s future hasn’t been decided yet.
