BBL Pacific and ULF Esports will be competing in the top tier of Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) EMEA starting in 2026. These Turkish teams are new additions to the league.
It was a landmark weekend for Valorant in Turkey! Two up-and-coming teams, BBL PCIFIC and ULF Esports, will compete in the VCT EMEA 2026 season after earning promotion to the top tier. This marks the first time two teams have advanced in a single event, making it a historic moment for Turkish Valorant.
The power of the Turkish VALORANT
BBL Pacific and ULF Esports have officially qualified for VCT EMEA Tier 1, increasing the number of Turkish teams in the league to four – joining BBL Esports and FUT Esports. Importantly, both new teams will compete with rosters made up entirely of Turkish players, significantly expanding Turkish representation at the highest level of competition.
Now that these two players have joined, there will be a total of 25 Turkish players competing in VCT EMEA.
BBL PCIFIC
BBL Pacific is a partnership created in 2024 between BBL Esports and PCIFIC Esports. This program, started by Riot Games last season, lets teams in the top-level VCT International League work with teams in lower tiers (Challenger or Game Changers), helping to build stronger connections and create more competitive opportunities for players at all levels.
The team has finally reached the top tier after a challenging journey. They lost their chance at promotion last year, falling to Apeks in the championship match, but now they have a chance to shine. They secured their spot by defeating DNSTY with a score of 3-1.
Here is the current roster:
- Ali “Crewen” Eren Sargin
- Yusuf “Lar0k” Kaan Kanber
- Utku “Loita” Kart
- Eren “Rosé” Erzan
- Umut “umu7” Pekdoğan
- Mert “KEY” Çelebi (Head Coach)
ULF Esports
ULF Esports is a Turkish esports organization established in 2024. They quickly proved their skill during their first year competing in Tier 2. What’s particularly notable is that ULF rose through VALORANT’s competitive system, known as the Premier, making their quick climb to Tier 1 competition even more remarkable.
This team’s success shows that skill combined with a chance to shine can take anyone to the top, and it reveals the incredible, untapped potential within the competitive scene. Here’s a look at the players currently on the team:
- Ömür “echo” Serkan Şenol
- Anıl “nekky” Dağdeviren
- Soner “audaz” Ekiz
- Efe “s0pp” Tur
- Enes “Favian” Yiğiter
- Berke “Vlad” Kantürk (Head Coach)
All 2025 Ascension teams
After intense competition worldwide, all the teams that earned promotion through the Ascension tournaments have been decided. VCT China and VCT Americas will each send just one team up to the top tier each year, and we can’t wait to see how these teams perform next year!
- ULF Esports (VCT EMEA)
- BBL PCFIC (VCT EMEA)
