FULL SENSE joins the VCT Pacific 2026 in place of TALON

The wait is over. FULL SENSE have been selected as the organization that will replace TALON in the VCT Pacific 2026 after the latter's partnership agreement was terminated by Riot Games.

And the best news of all? The VCT Pacific will continue to have a strong Thai representation, as FULL SENSE is picking up the entirety of the former TALON roster, though with a small twist.

Why was FULL SENSE picked?

When it comes to joining the VCT, an organization needs to show Riot Games they are financially and structurally sound enough to take on the challenges that come with competing at the highest level. What was perhaps the true tipping point regarding the final decision, however, is the fact that FULL SENSE already have a strong connection to the Thai scene and its fans. According to Jake Sin, Head of APAC VALORANT Esports, FULL SENSE is "a team that truly connects with our Thai community and represents it with pride."

It's worth noting that FULL SENSE started competing in VALORANT esports as early as 2020. Just a year later, the team managed to qualify to VCT 2021 - VALORANT Champions 2021 with a full Thai roster, putting the country on the map.

TALON's exit left the VCT Pacific wondering for weeks who the newcomers might be. In the end, the addition of FULL SENSE should prove to be a big win for a Thai fanbase that feared they might be left without a home in the league.

FULL SENSE Roster for the VCT Pacific 2026

Perhaps the best news of all is that the entirety of the 2025 TALON roster will also remain in the VCT Pacific as we head into a new season.

FULL SENSE has opted to pick up the roster as a whole. The only change will be the fact that Thanamethk "Crws" Mahatthananuyut, TALON's former in-game leader, will be taking on a coaching role in the team instead. In his place, FULL SENSE are keeping long-standing member Thanyathon "Leviathan" Nakmee in the active lineup.

FULL SENSE roster:

• Anupong "thyy" Preamsak
• Papaphat "Primmie" Sriprapha
• Taned "Killua" Teerasawad
• Jittana "JitBoyS" Nokngam
• Thanyathon "Leviathan" Nakmee
• Thanaphat "THEE" Limpaphan (Head Coach)
• Thanamethk "Crws" Mahatthananuyut (Coach)
