CyvOph and globeX join GIANTX for Intel Monsters Reloaded 2026

VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 - Champions Shanghai may still be underway, but the offseason continues for the teams that have already seen their competitive campaigns come to an end. Recently invited to participate in the Turkish Monsters Reloaded 2026, GIANTX has announced Clement "CyvOph" Millard and Michail "globeX" Kostylew as its new additions ahead of the tournament.

GIANTX brings in two new players

After stepping away from competitive play, CyvOph is returning to the scene with GIANTX ahead of the Intel Monsters Reloaded 2026 offline finals, which will take place in Istanbul, Turkey, from October 24 to 25.

In May 2026, he joined Fnatic as a substitute, but his stint with the team was short-lived. He was later picked up by Natus Vincere, but following the VALORANT Champions Tour 2026 - EMEA Stage 2, CyvOph announced that he would miss the remainder of the season due to family matters.

Known for his explosive Phoenix play, the French player is now making his return to competitive play. He also appeared at the VCT EMEA Stage 2 Grand Finals, representing France in the showmatch.

Joining him is globeX, who comes off a strong year with Barça eSports in Tier 2. The tournament will give him the opportunity to take the next step in his career and compete in a Tier 1 team.

A duelist main, globeX has helped the Spanish organization secure multiple Challengers titles since 2025. Last year, he also reached the Grand Final of the Monsters Reloaded 2025 - Monsters Reloaded 2025 - Main Event alongside CGN Esports, falling short against FUT Esports.

Both players will join GIANTX for the tournament, although it remains unclear whether they will stay with the team for the 2027 season.

GIANTX 2027

For now, there is no information on whether GIANTX has been selected as a partner team ahead of the competitive changes coming in 2027. As for its lineup, the team has retained only three of its five players and will field the following roster for the offseason event:

• Karel "Flickless" Ivo Maeckelbergh
• Eduard-George "ara" Hanceriuc
• Miłosz "westside" Tomasz Duda
• Clement "CyvOph" Millard (NEW)
