iG adds Breathe and JiaQi, overhauls coaching staff as Renard moves to starting mid; TT signs Benny

iG announced a major roster and staff shuffle, bringing in Top laner Breathe and Bot laner JiaQi while promoting Renard to the starting mid lane. The club also added Helper as Head Coach, Fury as Coach, and Kezman as Supervisor.

Those arrivals accompany a string of departures. Bot laner Photic and Support Jwei have left iG, along with Head Coach Mafa, Coach KaKAO, and analyst yongsoo. The moves amount to a clear reset of iG's coaching structure and a swap in both side lanes, with Renard now locked into the mid lane starting role.

For iG this is a rapid retooling. The team replaces its bot and support personnel on the active roster and replaces its head coach and coaching staff in one window. Promoting Renard to the starting lineup signals internal confidence in the mid lane option while the new coaches will be tasked with stitching the arrivals together before the next LPL matches.

Over at TT, the club added Benny as Assistant Coach. That is a single but targeted addition to TT's staff that could shore up preparation and in-game decision making for the team.

Expect iG to list Renard as their starting mid in upcoming match sheets and to roll out JiaQi in the bot slot. The CN scene will watch how quickly the new iG coaching group and pair of signings can translate onto the rift.
