Shifters has contacted several esports organizations about renting its LEC spot for 2027, Sheep Esports reported on November 10. The report describes an effort to gauge interest. It names no prospective renter in advanced talks and says any agreement would require Riot Games approval.
Some of the organizations approached compete in the European Regional Leagues, according to the report. Shifters could still field its own team next season. Sheep Esports says the club has no players secured for 2027 and that its current player contracts run no later than November 16.
The Swiss organization entered the LEC in 2022 as Team BDS. Its first season under the Shifters name ended with two tenth-place finishes and one ninth-place finish across the three splits. A rental would change who competes in that slot, but neither Shifters nor Riot has announced an arrangement.
