BBL Esports part ways with Jamppi and PROFEK

BBL Esports has parted ways with both Elias "Jamppi" Olkkonen and Dawid "PROFEK" Święć ahead of the VCT 2026 season.

The VCT 2025 season was one that saw BBL Esports enjoy their most successful year as an esports organization since the start of VCT franchising. Unfortunately, their efforts were in vain as the team was unable to acquire enough Championship Points to qualify for VALORANT Champions Tour 2025 - Valorant Champions, putting an end to their strong year. Now, BBL Esports has its sights set on rebuilding their entire lineup with the departures of in-game leader Jamppi and PROFEK ahead of the VCT 2026 season.

Jamppi joined BBL Esports ahead of the VCT 2025 season following his four-year tenure with Team Liquid. In his one year with BBL Esports, he helped lead the team to one of its best seasons in VALORANT franchising. The same could be said about PROFEK, who made his tier one debut with BBL Esports ahead of the VCT 2025 season. Now, he will be looking to improve upon his rookie season going into 2026.

After their time with BBL Esports, both Jamppi and PROFEK are slated to join the new Team Vitality rebuild heading into the VCT 2026 season. Jamppi will likely assume the role of in-game leader in the team. He will be looking to take his veteran experience and help Team Vitality make it back to the international stage in 2026. As for PROFEK, he will resume his role as the smokes player on Team Vitality as he looks to qualify for his first international event after a strong VCT 2025 season.

Who is joining BBL Esports VCT 2026 lineup?

As for BBL Esports, the organisation has been heavily linked towards promoting the BBL PCIFIC lineup that recently qualified for VCT EMEA 2026 through the VCT EMEA Ascension tournament. It will be interesting to see how the new BBL Esports lineup performs in their first split at the tier one level going into 2026.
