Korean top laner Kang ‘TheShy‘ Seung-lok will be taking a temporary break from competitive League of Legends.
The announcement came from his team, Invictus Gaming (IG), on social media. As a result, TheShy will not be representing the team for the start of the 2026 LPL season.
This is the second time the top laner has stepped away from the competitive scene after he missed out on the 2024 season. In his own post on Weibo, the Korean player stated that he will still be a part of the team, as “IG is home” to him.
