Rumors are swirling that the Shopify Rebellion may have found its starting support for the 2024 LCS season. Tristan “Zeyzal” Stidam, a seasoned North American League of Legends veteran, might be making a grand return to the big stage after a three-year hiatus. According to esports reporter Sander Hove, Shopify Rebellion has reportedly signed Zeyzal as their starting support for the upcoming season.
The 24-year-old Zeyzal is no stranger to the LCS. He is best known for his time with Cloud9 during the 2018 season, where he played a pivotal role in helping the team reach the 2018 World Championship semifinals. Since then, Zeyzal has been a part of various teams in the LCS, Academy, and amateur leagues, including Evil Geniuses, Solafide Esports, C9 Challengers, and Disguised.
If the reports are accurate, Zeyzal will be reuniting with former teammate Aaron “FakeGod” Lee, who also played for Disguised’s Challenger roster in 2023. Additionally, both players will be catching up with their former coach Seong “Reven” Sang-hyeon, who led them during their tenure with Cloud9’s Challenger roster.

After Cloud9's offer fell through at the beginning of the offseason, Zeyzal had many options, including one from 100 Thieves. In the end, the player chose Shopify.

With a lineup that includes LCS veteran Zeyzal, the Shopify Rebellion is set to make waves in their first year in the league. Will they rise to the challenge and make an impact in the fiercely competitive LCS scene? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – fans are in for an exciting season as these industry veterans and new blood clash in the battle for LCS supremacy.
