Toronto KOI Announce 2027 Roster: Ethan, Kips, CleanX, and RenKoR

Toronto KOI have officially revealed their roster for Modern Warfare IV, announcing the signings of Ethan and David "RenKoR" Isern, who join Nicholas "Kips" Lyons and Tobias "CleanX" Juul Jønsson in a new-look lineup for 2027.

The foundation is Kips. The former Huntsmen standout entered 2026 as a Challengers prospect and left it as the cornerstone of Toronto's future, finishing 3rd at his first two professional LANs. He closed the year with a 1.17 SND K/D and a league-best 128.2 ADR, placing 14th in our Top 20 Players of Black Ops 7. CleanX has re-signed with the organization as well, while Jamie "Insight" Craven and Ronald "Abe" Abraham have moved on as free agents.

The biggest addition is RenKoR, who arrives after a breakout finish with Miami Heretics. After a rocky regular season, he and the Heretics reached the Esports World Cup Grand Final, falling 3-5 for the runner-up spot and $320,000. He led Miami in Hardpoint with a 1.12 K/D and in Overload with a 1.08 K/D, and he notched 12 SND clutches, including one of just two 1v4 wins in the league. He ranked 19th in our Top 20.

Ethan completes the lineup, confirming the signing reported earlier this offseason. After playing last season in Challengers with OMiT, Ethan became one of the next-up prospects going into the offseason. He'll be the SMG duo with the Dane CleanX heading into Modern Warfare 4.

The new roster follows a turbulent 2026 in which KOI finished 3rd at Major II and Major III, lost JoeDeceives to Paris mid-Stage IV, and exited in the Top 8 at both Champs and the Esports World Cup. With Kips and RenKoR leading the way, Toronto looks to take the next step in 2027.
