Kang “TheShy” Seung-lok is returning to professional play. Invictus Gaming confirmed on June 15 that the veteran top laner will rejoin the active roster for the 2026 LPL Split 3.

The 26-year-old ended a competitive hiatus that began in December 2025. He reunites with longtime teammate Song “Rookie” Eui-jin, forming the backbone of IG’s 2018 World Championship victory. The current lineup also includes Wei, GALA, and Meiko.

LPL Split 3 is expected to run from mid-July through September, giving the squad roughly one month to synchronize before competition begins.
