What changed for Winter?
Among the players, very little. The five names in the Winter announcement are the five in the Summer announcement, in the same lanes, with Kimsensei captain in Mid. The only playing difference is the substitute: A BlueGem in January, PIXZY in August. Summer roster, Winter roster.
The coaching change is older than the Winter announcement. Artie was the announced Summer coach, but on 8 February 2026, during that season, the club said ThisKen would take over immediately — in charge for that evening's match — and moved Artie to a strategy-coach role. The club described ThisKen as a long-time semi-professional coach who had run its Bacon Dream side in Winter 2025 before working with the main team. Garena's Winter announcement names ThisKen, and its separate post adds Headhawk as assistant coach. Coaching announcement, assistant coaches.
The current five came together across 2025 and early 2026. Opar was announced in August 2025; Bonus and Alawin followed within two days of each other in January 2026, with Alawin promoted from Bacon Dream, the club's own semi-professional team. A Bluegem's time at the club ended in July 2026, but the farewell describes her as a team member, host and assistant manager, so it is not a record of a player leaving the five. Opar, Bonus, Alawin, A Bluegem.

The organisation
Bacon Time says on its own site that it was founded in 2017 and that it operates as a combined esports and creator organisation, listing an office in Bangkok's Khlong Toei district. Its Facebook page directs business contact to Ampverse, the esports and gaming media company that manages the team. Team site, Ampverse, Facebook page.
The honours in the table are the ones Garena has published under the Bacon Time name, rather than the longer lists the club and its management company publish themselves. The most recent title is AIC 2024, and the team followed it with third place at AIC 2025. The run to the APL 2026 grand final started from sixth place at home, which is what a Wildcard place is: Bacon Time reached that final as the only RPL team still in it. AIC champions, Wildcard to grand final.
