Solary are set to sign Cypher from T1 Esports Academy for 2027, Sheep Esports reported on November 7. The move would take the 20-year-old bot laner to Europe for the first time in his competitive career. The transfer has yet to be announced.

Cypher spent more than three years in T1’s development system and played full-time in LCK Challengers in 2026. Eclipse took over late in the season and started at the inaugural World Star Challengers Invitational, where T1 Academy beat Solary 3–2 in the final.

Solary are rebuilding after a season that brought their first EMEA Masters title. Sheep Esports also reported on November 4 that former LEC jungler Boukada had verbally agreed to join. He would replace Zicssi, who is reportedly headed to SK Gaming. Solary have yet to announce either signing.
