Shopify Rebellion Reportedly Considering Five Bot Lane Options for LCS 2027

Shopify Rebellion is considering changes to both bot lane positions ahead of the 2027 LCS season in League of Legends. According to two reports from LCS Eevee and Sheep Esports published on Tuesday (November 10), the organization is weighing three ADC candidates and two support options. No signings have been announced so far.

The potential moves would see the team replace Ju “Bvoy” Yeong-hoon and Tristan “Zeyzal” Stidam. Their contracts are listed as expiring on November 17 and November 14, 2026, respectively, but Shopify Rebellion has yet to confirm either player's departure.

Shopify Rebellion ended the season without a title or an appearance at an international tournament. Their final chance to qualify for Worlds 2026 ended with a 3-1 loss to LYON in the LCS playoffs.

Massu, Tactical, and Sushee Are ADC Options

One of the players on Shopify's radar is Fahad “Massu” Abdulmalek of FlyQuest. The Canadian joined the organization's development roster in 2022 and was promoted to its main lineup the following year. He has since won titles including the 2024 LCS Summer Split and the 2025 LTA Championship. His current contract runs through November 17, 2026.

Another option is Edward “Tactical” Ra, who competed at Worlds 2026 with Cloud9. According to an earlier Sheep Esports report, Cloud9 has allowed him to explore opportunities with other teams for 2027, despite his contract running through November 2028. A move to Shopify would therefore still require an agreement with Cloud9.

The third candidate is 20-year-old Jeremy “Sushee” Roussy. Unlike Massu and Tactical, the Canadian has yet to make his debut in North America's top division. He played for NRG in the NACL in 2026, but the team failed to earn promotion to the LCS. Sheep Esports reported that NRG subsequently parted ways with its roster, although Sushee is still listed as under contract through November 16 in the public contract database.

Vulcan and Isles Are the Support Candidates

For the support position, Shopify is considering Philippe “Vulcan” Laflamme and Jonah “Isles” Rosario as potential replacements for Zeyzal, according to Sheep Esports. Both played for teams that competed at Worlds 2026, but both remain under contract beyond this season.

Vulcan is in his second stint with Cloud9, having returned to the organization in 2024. The Canadian was named MVP of the 2026 LCS Spring Split and recently extended his contract through November 2029. Any potential move to Shopify would therefore require negotiations between the two organizations.

Isles won both the Lock-In and the 2026 LCS Spring Split with LYON. The team also finished in the top three at MSI and competed at Worlds. The Australian support is under contract through November 15, 2027, meaning a move would likewise require an agreement with his current team.

All five candidates are listed as North American residents in the 2026 records. Although Isles is Australian, he is named among the Oceania players recognized as North American residents under the LCS rulebook. If those rules and classifications remain in place for 2027, none of the five would take up an import slot in the league.
