Vivo Keyd Stars Restructures Roster Ahead of CBLOL 2027
Written with artificial intelligence.
Vivo Keyd Stars has announced significant changes to its roster as they prepare for CBLOL 2027, parting ways with three players and three coaching staff members. The restructuring follows a disappointing season that saw the team finish without titles or a Worlds 2026 qualification.
Roster Changes Announced
On Tuesday, Vivo Keyd Stars confirmed that Zekas, Mireu, and Jeskla will be leaving the team, alongside coaches SMILEY, Benvi, and LJ. This move is part of a broader reform as the organization looks to revamp its League of Legends lineup for the upcoming CBLOL 2027.
Reasons for Restructuring
The decision to overhaul the roster comes after a season marked by underperformance, where the team failed to secure any titles or qualify for Worlds 2026. This contrasts sharply with the previous year, when Vivo Keyd Stars won the LTA Sul and returned to the World Championship, aided by contributions from Mireu, SMILEY, and Benvi.
Key Player Departures
- Mireu: Joined the team in June 2025 and played a significant role in their success, including being named MVP in the LTA Sul final. Despite a contract extension until 2027, he is among those leaving.
- SMILEY: Served multiple roles within the organization, including head coach, and has been a long-standing member since 2024. His tenure ended without replicating the previous year's success.
- Jeskla: Joined the team in July 2026 but could not help propel the squad into a stronger position during the season.
Future Outlook
With the restructuring, Vivo Keyd Stars will need to fill three positions in their main roster and rebuild their coaching staff. Currently, players Disamis and scamber remain, but no announcements regarding replacements for the departing members have been made yet. The organization aims to bounce back after a challenging year and return to competing at the highest level in CBLOL 2027.
