Look Sports Media – As the dust settles from VCT Paris, the Valorant scene is ablaze with roster rumors as teams scramble to solidify their lineups for the 2025-26 season. Organizations are looking to rebuild, reinforce, and realign in the hopes of securing a competitive edge. Here’s a breakdown of the most significant whispers and potential shifts in the Valorant landscape.
Fnatic, the UK-based squad led by the beloved IGL Boaster, remains a central focus of speculation. Despite a valiant effort in the VCT Paris Grand Final, culminating in a near-miraculous comeback against NRG, the team ultimately fell short. The Valorant community rallied around Boaster and his teammates, praising their sportsmanship and dedication to entertaining fans, which has only intensified concerns about the roster’s future.
However, reports from Sheep Esports suggest that Boaster has verbally agreed to extend his contract with Fnatic, seemingly securing his position as IGL. Crashies has also reportedly extended his contract for 2026. Furthermore, coach Milan is also expected to remain with the team, having reportedly agreed to a two-year extension. Fans eager for confirmation won’t have to wait long, as Fnatic is expected to unveil their 2026 roster at London Clash, marking the team’s first appearance in the UK. In response to fan inquiries about the lineup, Fnatic’s official account simply stated "Fnatic Valorant," hinting at the continuation of the current roster.

Notable departures include ANGE1, who has officially retired from competitive Valorant and is reportedly set to become NAVI’s Head Coach for the 2026 VCT season. NRG has also lost s0m, who is taking a break from competitive play following their VCT Paris victory. Furthermore, the organization Apeks has withdrawn from Valorant esports entirely.
As for potential destinations for free agents, the rumor mill is churning. GIANTX is reportedly close to securing contracts for ara, grubinho, and Flockless for 2026. MIBR is said to have reached verbal agreements with Zekken and resigned Aspas. Evil Geniuses are reportedly set to sign c0m as their IGL, with Nerve, Bao, and Alym also trialed for the role. Other rumored verbal agreements include saadhak to KRÜ, Artzin and Koalanoob to FURIA, Dos9 to Karmine Corp, and spikeziN to Leviatán.
