January 4 brings sweeping changes as EMEA's ZZG and NA's SDB overhaul their rosters for the 2026 season. ZZG parts ways with its entire lineup and staff, including key players jungler Pivolj, mid laner Blackout, bot laner Sh0ckZzi, and support duo Jordan and Impp. Their head coach Malio Klintas and assistants also exit, leaving the team with a clean slate and an uncertain future.
In North America, SDB faces a major shift with top laner NightShade departing. Known for his stability in the top lane, his absence will challenge SDB's cohesion as they plan for 2026.
