Quad Reportedly Set to Join Shopify Rebellion for LCS 2027

Song “Quad” Su-hyeong is reportedly set to leave FlyQuest and join Shopify Rebellion for the 2027 LCS season, according to Sheep Esports. The South Korean mid laner has spent the past two and a half seasons on FlyQuest's main roster, winning four regional League of Legends titles.

Quad is expected to replace Yoo “Zinie” Baek-jin, who started for Shopify throughout 2026. According to reporters LCS Eevee and LEC Wooloo, the organization considered keeping Zinie before deciding to pursue Quad. Zinie is now reportedly exploring opportunities with Team Vitality and Natus Vincere.

Quad Won Four Regional Titles With FlyQuest

Quad joined FlyQuest in early 2024 after previously playing for South Korean organizations including DRX, Gen.G, and Nongshim RedForce. He initially competed with FlyQuest Challengers, winning NACL Spring 2024 before replacing Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen on the main roster.

Success came quickly. FlyQuest won LCS Summer 2024 with a 3-1 victory over Team Liquid, then reached the Worlds 2024 quarterfinals, where they pushed Gen.G to five games before losing 3-2.

The team continued its strong run in 2025, winning LTA North Split 2 and Split 3 before claiming the overall Americas championship. FlyQuest defeated Vivo Keyd Stars 3-1 in the LTA Championship final, securing another regional title and a spot at Worlds.

FlyQuest's 2026 Season Ended Without a Worlds Berth

FlyQuest struggled to maintain that momentum in 2026. After finishing fourth in the LCS Spring Split, the team entered Summer hoping to return to the World Championship but fell short once again.

In the Summer Playoffs, FlyQuest defeated Sentinels 3-0 before losing to Team Liquid. They were then eliminated 3-2 by Shopify Rebellion in the lower bracket, the same organization Quad is now reportedly joining.

Quad's final tournament of the year was the Demacia Cup Global Invitational in China. FlyQuest reached the quarterfinals after beating Shopify Rebellion 2-1 and eliminating RED Canids 2-0 during the Swiss Stage. The team eventually fell 3-2 to Team WE.

Shopify Rebellion Are Rebuilding for LCS 2027

Quad's potential signing is part of a broader rebuild at Shopify Rebellion. The organization is also reportedly preparing to part ways with head coach Seong “Reven” Sang-hyeon, who has led its League of Legends project since 2024.

Changes are also expected in the bot lane. According to Sheep Esports, Massu, Tactical, and Sushee are among the ADC candidates, while Vulcan and Isles are being considered for support. No signings have been officially confirmed.

The rebuild follows another titleless season for Shopify. Despite an early loss to Cloud9 in the Summer Playoffs, the team recovered with a 3-2 win over Sentinels and another five-game victory against FlyQuest.

However, LYON defeated Shopify 3-1 to claim the LCS' final Worlds 2026 berth. The organization later competed at the Demacia Cup Global Invitational but failed to reach the playoffs.

Shopify Rebellion has yet to win an LCS title or qualify for Worlds since entering the league in 2024. Quad would bring domestic championship experience and a record of international playoff appearances, although his reported transfer remains unconfirmed.
