Key Takeaways

  • The players experiencing visa issues are Ian Victor "FBI" Huang and Lee "IgNar" Dong-geun
  • The players coming in are David "Mobility" Rigley and support Brindon "Breezy" Keesey
  • They are signed through March 2

Dignitas, a North American esports organization, has announced that it will have two emergency substitutions to start this LCS (League of Legends) season.

The substitutions include David "Mobility" Rigley (ADC) and Brindon "Breezy" Keesey (support). 

These subs come as Ian Victor ‘FBI‘ Huang and Lee ‘IgNar‘ Dong-geun are dealing with visa issues. 

Social Media Announcement

On X, the Dignitas League of Legends account, DIG LCS, announced the subs:

"Sadly, due to issues with immigration, FBI and IgNar will not be present for the start of the LCS Lock-In.

"For Week 1, we are welcoming @MobilityLoL and @breezyyylol who will be filling in as our bot lane. We're excited to see what they can bring to the LCS stage! #DIGWIN," the account wrote on X. 

They also thanked Conviction and Winthrop Esports for assisting them with the moves. 

As mentioned, the move is expected to be only for Week 1 of the LCS Lock-In, which begins this weekend. That said, according to Global Contract Database, they're under contract until March 2. That's right after the LCS Lock-In tournament ends. 

Other Teams Experiencing Visa Issues

In addition to Dignitas, other teams are also dealing with visa issues. 

Just last week, LYON brought in Niship "Dhokla" Doshi, formerly of 100 Thieves, after they had issues with Frankie "Zamudo" Lin's visa issues, which delayed his arrival. 

Also, Shopify Rebellion just had mid laner Yoo "Zinie" Baek-jin arrive in the United States last Monday. Thus, they practice for a whole month with David "Insanity" Challe. 

This comes after the United States recently suspended visa processing for 75 countries, including employment-based visas. 

More About Mobility and Breezy and Their Debuts 

Mobility and Breezy come from the North American Challengers League. 

Mobility played for Winthrop University while Breezy joined Conviction as its support player for the 2026 campaign. 

Breezy and Mobility have played together before, though. They played together in the summer of 2024 on AOE Esports. However, the team didn't win during the regular season, but then dominated the NACL Promotion tournament. 

Now, these players will make their LCS debut, ironically enough, against LYON, another team that had visa issues, this Sunday.
