Toronto KOI has signed Nicholas “Kips” Lyons to its Call of Duty League roster. The change comes during the Major 2 cycle of the 2026 season.

The team made this move after a rough start in Stage 2 qualifiers. Toronto needs CDL points to stay in the race for Champs. A roster change gives the team a new look going into key matches.

Kips steps into the starting four. He brings experience in respawn modes like Hardpoint and Control. He plays with structure and clear comms. Toronto will rely on him to help with map control and mid round calls.

ReeaL moves to the bench and will compete in Challengers for now. This gives him match reps while the main roster tests the new setup.

Roster changes can shift a season. Teams fight for seeding at every stage. Major 2 will show if this move pays off.

Toronto KOI now prepares for its next qualifier match. The focus is simple. Build chemistry, tighten setups, and secure wins.
