Karmine Corp is reportedly set to add Alan «Busio» Cwalina to its roster for the upcoming LEC season. The 21-year-old support is recognized as one of North America’s most promising young talents and is expected to join the French team during their offseason restructuring.

Busio gained widespread recognition from his tenure with 100 Thieves Academy in the LCS and his impressive performances as a support player with FlyQuest this year, who made it to Worlds 2025 as North America’s top seed. After a difficult split in 2025, Karmine Corp’s performance declined significantly following their notable victory in the LEC Winter Split 2025, where they missed qualifications for MSI and Worlds.

The French organization aims to enhance its bottom lane by bringing in Busio, who will partner with Caliste «Caliste» Henry-Hennebert. Caliste stood out as one of Karmine Corp’s star players in 2025, winning the LEC Rookie of the Year title during his impressive debut season. With Busio joining forces with him, Karmine Corp appears ready to establish a strong bot lane duo capable of competing against Europe’s best teams.

If the transfer goes through, Busio is expected to take over the support position from Raphaël «Targamas» Crabbé, who held the role during the 2025 season. Although Busio comes from North America, his Polish citizenship enables him to compete as an EU resident, providing Karmine Corp with crucial roster flexibility under LEC’s import regulations, particularly as the organization also features Korean players like Canna in the top lane.

As Vladi continues to weigh his options with other teams, the roster may also see a new face in the mid lane. Multiple sources indicate that Bok «Reapered» Han-gyu, a seasoned coach with extensive experience in various leagues including the LCS, LPL, and LCK, is set to guide Karmine Corp’s revamped lineup.

If confirmed, Busio would be the second North American import to join the LEC in the past two years, following Jojopyun. This move signals Karmine Corp’s commitment to bolstering its status among Europe’s top teams as they head into 2026.
