Mikyx Reportedly Set to Rejoin G2 Esports for 2027 LEC Season

Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle has reportedly reached a verbal agreement to rejoin G2 Esports as their support player for the 2027 League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC) season. If completed, it would be Mikyx’s third stint with G2, after he previously played for the organization from 2018 to 2021 (and briefly into early 2022) and again from 2022 to 2024. Here’s everything we know so far about the potential transfer.

Mikyx’s G2 Esports Deal Is Not Final

The agreement between Mikyx and G2 Esports is not yet official, and neither the player nor the organisation has confirmed it. Sheep Esports reported that Mikyx’s agreement is also conditional: it depends on how G2 resolves its top lane position, which is still unfilled. Previously, BrokenBlade held the role.

If the G2 deal falls through because of that, Mikyx has reportedly also held talks with LYON, a team in the League Championship Series (LCS), the North American league. LYON is described as a possible backup option.

Mikyx’s SK Gaming Contract and 2026 LEC Season Recap

Mikyx is currently a free agent heading into the 2027 offseason. Technically, he is still under contract with SK Gaming until it expires on 16 November 2026.

He spent the 2026 season as SK Gaming’s team captain. The roster was built around experienced players and carried high expectations, but the season went poorly. SK Gaming failed to reach the playoffs in any of the three LEC tournaments in 2026.

G2 Esports Plans Major Roster Changes for the 2027 LEC Season

G2 is making major changes to its roster and coaching staff after a disappointing result at the 2026 World Championship, where the team was eliminated in the Swiss Stage. The organization is moving on from several players who won titles in Europe but could not carry that success into international play.

As it currently stands, this is the projected 2027 lineup:

• Top: Undecided. Sergen “BrokenBlade” Çelik has left after the two sides did not agree on a contract extension. He has reportedly committed verbally to Movistar KOI. Some sources say G2 has scouted Naak Nako as its main target, but talks are still ongoing.
• Jungle: Linas “Lyncas” Nauncikas. He is reportedly set to join from Team Vitality on a verbal agreement, replacing Rudy “SkewMond” Semaan. SkewMond remains under contract until 2028, and G2 is reportedly seeking a buyout fee for him.
• Mid: Rasmus “Caps” Winther, the team’s best-known player. After earning Hall of Legends recognition this year, Caps remains with the club as the core of the rebuild.
• ADC (bot lane): Steven “Hans Sama” Liv. G2 posted a teaser that acknowledged fan speculation about his future, but he is expected to stay.
• Support: Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle, on a verbal agreement. G2 first tried to keep Lampros “Labrov” Papoutsakis, but he signed with Fnatic instead.

Coaching staff changes

G2 is also changing its coaching team:

Head coach

Alfonso “Mithy” Aguirre Rodríguez has reportedly agreed verbally to return in this role. He replaces Luka “Perkz” Perković, who was dismissed by the organization following public controversy right after the team’s Worlds elimination.

Strategic coach

Patrick “Pad” Suckow-Breum has joined to help set the strategic direction of the new roster.

What’s Next for Mikyx and G2 Esports?

G2 Esports had a strong year in Europe in 2026. Their biggest moment came at MSI 2026, where they beat the reigning world champions T1 by 3–1 and knocked them out. Things didn’t go as well at Worlds 2026, however, where they were eliminated early in the Swiss Stage. Over the whole season, G2 played 136 games, winning 88 and losing 48, which works out to a win rate of 64.7%.

That season was played with BrokenBlade in the top lane, SkewMond in the jungle, Caps in the mid lane, Hans Sama as the bot laner and Labrov as support. Only Caps and Hans Sama are expected to remain for 2027, since BrokenBlade, SkewMond and Labrov are all on their way out. That leaves G2 with several spots to fill, and Mikyx’s return is tied to one of them.

His move depends largely on who G2 signs for the top lane, so that decision is the key one to follow. None of the agreements mentioned above have been officially announced, and details could change before any contracts are signed.
