Myrwn Joins GIANTX, Supa Pairs With Parus at NAVI, and Jopa Locks In Team Vitality for the 2027 LEC Season
The ripple effect triggered by Movistar KOI's blockbuster offseason overhaul has just locked the remaining pieces of the European League of Legends transfer puzzle into place. Following the arrivals of Sergen "BrokenBlade" Çelik and Matyáš "Carzzy" Orság in Madrid, departing Spanish duo Álex "Myrwn" Pastor Villarejo and David "Supa" Martínez García have both secured verbal agreements for the 2027 LEC season. While Myrwn takes over the top lane at GIANTX, Supa heads to Natus Vincere (NAVI) alongside returning support Polat "Parus" Furkan Çiçek, a chain reaction that has simultaneously sealed Josip "Jopa" Čančar's agreement with Team Vitality.
Álex "Myrwn" Villarejo Takes Command of the GIANTX Top Lane
After three full seasons competing under the Madrid banner, stretching from the Movistar Riders era through a Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage appearance with Movistar KOI, 23-year-old Spanish top laner Álex "Myrwn" Pastor Villarejo is opening a new chapter in his career. With his contract expiring in the official global database and BrokenBlade stepping into his former role, Myrwn quickly became one of the most sought-after solo laners on the market.
Behind the scenes, Myrwn has reached a verbal agreement to join GIANTX for the 2027 LEC campaign. Despite concrete interest from both sides of the Atlantic, including approaches from Natus Vincere in Europe and Cloud9 in the LCS, he ultimately opted for the rebuilding project led by Portuguese head coach André "Guilhoto" Pereira Guilhoto. He steps in following the departures of Eren "Lot" Yıldız and Óscar "Oscarinin" Muñoz Jiménez as the Anglo-Spanish organization reshapes its lineup after star mid laner Jackies' departure to Team Heretics.
With Myrwn locked in on the top side, GIANTX now has four of its five starting positions settled for 2027: Myrwn in the top lane, Spanish rookie jungler Francisco "Thayger" Mazo Sánchez (fresh off winning the EMEA Masters Spring 2026 Finals MVP and the LFL Summer title with Galions), South Korean mid laner Jeong "Feisty" Seong-hoon (returning to Europe after a stint with LØS in Brazil), and former Solary support Kim "Piero" Jung-hun, leaving only the starting AD carry seat to be finalized.
Supa Signs With Natus Vincere Alongside Parus and Rhilech
For the first time in his top-flight career, Myrwn will compete separately from his longtime Spanish bot lane partner David "Supa" Martínez García and head coach Tomás "Melzhet" Campelos. Following Movistar KOI's decision to lock in Carzzy and BrokenBlade alongside Elyoya, Jojopyun, and Alvaro, the 25-year-old marksman has reached a verbal agreement to become the starting AD carry for Natus Vincere (NAVI) in 2027.
Having also drawn interest from GIANTX and Team Vitality, while being weighed as a backup option by Fnatic, Supa chose to spearhead the Ukrainian organization's second season in the LEC. On the bottom lane, he will pair up with Turkish support Polat "Parus" Furkan Çiçek, who is set to remain with the club afterall.
Although already under contract with NAVI through November 2027, Parus had been allowed to explore external options early in the offseason, briefly drawing interest from G2 Esports before Mikyx's return. After assessing the landscape, both Parus and NAVI management agreed to continue together, giving the team a formidable core built around 2026 LEC Rookie of the Year jungler Enes "Rhilech" Uçan, contracted South Korean mid laner Yoon "Poby" Sung-won, and the new Supa - Parus bot lane duo.

The Bot Lane Domino Effect Sends Jopa Back to Team Vitality
With both Movistar KOI and Natus Vincere locking in their starting marksmen, the final major piece of the European bot lane market has fallen into place: 20-year-old Croatian AD carry Josip "Jopa" Čančar has reached a verbal agreement to join Team Vitality for the 2027 LEC season.
Having risen to prominence with academy squad Vitality.Bee in the LFL between late 2023 and 2025 before delivering a breakout rookie campaign in the LEC with SK Gaming in 2026 (where he finished runner-up for Rookie of the Year behind Rhilech), Jopa had initially placed Vitality's offer on hold to evaluate openings across higher-seeded contenders. Once the seats in Madrid and at NAVI were filled, Jopa finalized his return to the French organization, stepping into the premier LoL Esports European league as their franchise carry.
Working under incoming coaching duo Wadi "Wadi" Benarbia (Head Coach) and Rehareha "Reha" Ramanana (Strategic Coach), Jopa is expected to lane alongside Turkish support Kadir "Fleshy" Kemiksiz, while Vitality management finalizes its upper-map plans around 2026 Spring Split MVP top laner Kaan "Naak Nako" Okan following jungler Lyncas's move to G2 Esports.
The Strategist's Take
Looking at this four-way domino effect from a tactical standpoint, every organization involved walks away with a piece that fits its tactical identity. At GIANTX, pairing Myrwn with Guilhoto makes complete strategic sense: his fearless, unorthodox counter-pick pool in the side lanes and his ability to absorb weak-side pressure without bleeding tempo will give Thayger and Feisty the breathing room they need to play aggressively through the middle of the map.
Still, the move that intrigues me the most from a pure laning perspective is Natus Vincere's new bottom lane. Combining Supa's relentless forward trading stance with Parus's sharp engage instincts, all backed up by Rhilech's hyper-proactive jungle pathing, immediately gives NAVI a lethal bot-side identity. As I was pointing out to Charles "Grimtag" while mapping out our LEC offseason boards earlier today, Jopa also made the smartest call available by locking in his return to Team Vitality: after rightfully testing the free-agent waters, he comes home to a familiar organization with a coaching staff in Wadi and Reha that knows exactly how to elevate young mechanical carries.
