Crazy Raccoon will keep the main core that served them well throughout the entire OWCS era so far, with hitscan Lee “Lip” Jae-won, flex DPS Chae “HeeSang” Hee-sang, main support Sung “CH0R0NG” Yoo-min and tank pairing of Park “Junbin” Jun-bin and Choi “Max” Su-min. The team have also signed Kim “Vigilante” Joon from T1 to replace Shu, who announced his departure from the team last month at the end of his contract.

Shu was a key part of Crazy Raccoon’s identity, enabling their signature Winston dive with his unparalleled Ana gameplay. Expectations will be high as Vigilante will have big shoes to fill come the 2026 campaign. Vigilante was an impressive part of a T1 team that seemed to only get better over the course of 2025, and while they struggled somewhat internationally, their young squad turned heads.

Vigilante cemented himself as one of the best Kiriko players in Korea and only improved alongside Kim "Skewed" Min-seok throughout the year. He has a good Ana as well, in case Crazy Raccoon need him to directly fill in his predecessor's speciality.

Crazy Raccoon retaining MAX is also significant. At the start of the off-season, Max said he was free to explore other options and talk to other teams, but ultimately stayed with Crazy Raccoon. He is a key part of their identity, rounding out JunBin’s hero pool perfectly and making the team a much more diverse threat.

The most important thing for this team is that they have kept the same core that has taken them to the podium positions at so many LAN events and domestic dominance. There is no reason to think that, even post-Shu, this team will be anything but a threat to any team that stands in their way.

  • Tank - Park “Junbin” Jun-bin
