Solary reportedly agrees deal with Thumb to reunite former Korean academy bot lane

Solary has reached a verbal agreement with South Korean support Noh “ Thumb ” Hyeong- Jun for 2027, according to Sheep Esports.

The proposed signing would reunite Thumb with reported incoming AD Carry Cypher. The pair began competing together under Liiv SANDBOX Academy in 2021.

A return after an extended absence

Thumb subsequently joined Dplus KIA ’s development system, moving between its academy and Challengers teams.

His Last Competitive appearance came in May 2025. Sheep Esports reports that personal circumstances prevented him from competing during Summer 2025 and throughout 2026.

Despite that absence, he reportedly reached third place ON the Korean ranked ladder this season.

Solary ’s rebuild takes shape

The reported lineup now includes Boukada in jungle, Cypher at AD Carry and Thumb at support, with Hairost expected to return as head coach.

According to Sheep Esports, Cypher and Thumb would occupy both Import positions, requiring Solary ’s remaining top and mid laners to hold EMEA residency.

The organisation has not officially confirmed the signing or announced its complete roster.
