Futbolist add qRaxs, marqnue becomes the team's coach

One of the top teams in the Turkish scene, FUT Esports, have announced a change-up in their roster. Doğukan "qRaxs" Balaban has joined the team, while Salih "marqnue" Onaran will stay with the organization but become the team’s new coach.

marqnue has been with the team ever since they were orgless and known as LOL-. Functioning primarily as the team’s sentinel, he helped Futbolist place second in Turkish First Strike, alongside wins at the Elite Invitational and the Arko Men Valorant Tournament. Futbolist were the only Turkish team invited to take part in Red Bull Home Ground’s Red Bull Home Ground - #1 - Main Event, and most recently took an unsurprising top 4 finish in Turkey’s VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - Turkey - Challengers 1.

His replacement, qRaxs, was once rather big in the Turkish scene, taking part in The Vitality European Open . But he’s been in and out of the scene since then. He’s historically played a duelist role, but given how much time has passed since we saw him in serious competitive play, that’s totally open to change.

Futbolist will hope that qRaxs can help provide that spark they need to cement themselves as Turkey’s best team, and that bringing in a dedicated coach can help them keep improving as well. qRaxs should make his Futbolist debut in Turkish Challengers 2.

Futbolist are now:

İbrahim “mag0o” Temizel Buğra “mojj” Kiraz Ufuk “SasuKe” Göktaş Emre “STERBEN” Demirci Doğukan “qRaxs” Balaban

Salih “marqnue” Onaran (Coach)
