Misa Esports shuts down its League of Legends team after three years

The closure landed two weeks after Misa swept PCIFIC Esports 3-0 to win the TCL 2026 Spring playoffs on June 5, before a 0-3 exit to Galions at the EMEA Masters Spring main event on June 13. Misa went big at the start of the year. Last winter they paired Turkish players Ragner and 113 with SlowQ and two Korean imports from LCK CL — Hype and Way — and that lineup won the TCL Kickoff and reached the EMEA Masters Winter semifinals.

The project came apart in spring. Way left for Team Heretics in March, and by mid-April the rest of the core was gone: Stend, his short-lived replacement, departed for Shifters, SlowQ

The teardown fits a wider picture. The TCL has lost several organizations in recent seasons over an environment many teams no longer consider financially sustainable. Misa were among the last in the league still willing to spend on a roster built to trade blows with the top LFL sides. Their swap to a domestic, lower-cost lineup mid-season pointed that way before the shutdown made it official.
