Full Sense to enter VCT Pacific for 2026

Okay, so things just changed up in VCT Pacific. FULL SENSE is stepping in to take TALON Esports’ place – they’re not just getting the spot, but also taking over TALON’s entire team! It’s a big move after TALON was removed from the league, and now FULL SENSE gets to jump right into the action with a full roster already in place. Pretty wild, huh?

Riot Games confirmed that Full Sense, a Thai esports team, will compete in VCT Pacific starting in 2026. They are taking the place of TALON Esports, who are leaving the league.

Full Sense to VCT Pacific

Talon Esports has been removed from both VALORANT and League of Legends competition because of money problems. Riot Games has chosen Full Sense, another esports organization from Thailand, to compete in their place after a review of applications.

As we prepare for the 2026 season, we needed to choose a team that was fully prepared to compete and shared our vision for teamwork and success, as Riot explained in a recent post. We also wanted the new team to be popular with fans and have a strong presence in Southeast Asia, ensuring the region is well-represented.

Full Sense successfully met all the necessary qualifications and was selected as the best organization to take over for TALON. They will be taking on TALON’s entire current team roster, consisting of:

  • Thanamethk “Crws” Mahatthananuyut
  • Jittana “JitboyS” Nokngam
  • Papaphat “Primmie” Sriprapha
  • Anupong “thyy” Preamsak
  • Tanate “killua” Teerasawad
  • Coach: Hector “FrosT” Rosario

You can watch this team compete at the highest level for the first time during the VCT 2026: Pacific Kickoff, starting January 22, 2026. The tournament will use a triple-elimination format, meaning teams have multiple chances to stay in the competition. The top three teams will earn a spot at Masters Santiago – the first major international tournament of the year – and also gain valuable Championship Points.

It is currently unconfirmed what will become of Full Sense’s current roster.

As a VCT Pacific fan, I was really glad to hear that Riot confirmed the league structure will stay the same for 2026! That means we’ll still have the ten partnered teams we know and love, plus two exciting teams earning their spot through Ascension Pacific. It’s good to know that path to pro remains open and the core of the league is staying consistent.

This means the teams for 2026 are:

  • Full Sense
  • DetonatioN FocusMe
  • DRX
  • Gen.G Esports
  • Global Esports
  • Paper Rex
  • Rex Regum Qeon
  • T1
  • Team Secret
  • ZETA DIVISION
  • SLT
  • Nongshim RedForce
