Tyler “Juicy” James Aeria has confirmed that he is stepping back from Wolves Esports and will be exploring new opportunities ahead of the 2026 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) season.

In a statement posted on social media, the 20-year-old Duelist revealed that Wolves have given him permission to seek out discussions with other teams.

“Wolves Esports has given me the opportunity to explore options for the upcoming season,” Juicy wrote. “I am now open to discussions with teams and organisations regarding potential opportunities in the professional Valorant scene. I can speak fluent English and [am] able to relocate.”

From Challengers to the Global Stage

Juicy’s rise through the Valorant scene has been nothing short of impressive. After early stints with BLEED and Disguised, he found himself on Wolves in 2025, marking his first time competing in the VCT franchise system.

With Disguised, Juicy helped secure the Malaysia/Singapore Challengers title in 2024 and booked a spot at Pacific Ascension, where the team finished in 5th-6th place. Prior to that, he was part of BLEED’s victorious Pacific Ascension run in 2023 before moving on to make room for North American star yay.

His time with Wolves proved to be a breakout moment. Playing as the team’s primary Duelist, Juicy helped Wolves to a remarkable third-place finish at Masters Toronto, one of the highlights of the 2025 season.

Reflecting on his time with the organisation, Juicy shared his gratitude:
“I really want to thank my team, teammates, and organisation for the amazing time and memories we made together and also for all the things I have learned while working with them. It was an amazing season and especially a really good run for my first year in franchise, which could not be possible without the team.”

Wolves’ Current Roster

With Juicy now inactive, Wolves Esports’ roster stands as follows:

  • Pong “SiuFatBB” Gaa Hei (庞加曦)
  • Huang “Yuicaw” Yung-chieh (黃湧傑)
  • Liu “Spring” Jiunting (刘俊霆)
  • Liang “Lysoar” Youhao (梁优好)
  • Chang “V1yA” Rui-min (张睿珉)

Support staff:

  • “Simple” (Manager)
  • Chong “Fayde” Hoc Wah (Head coach)
  • Chelceed “Maark” Viernes (Assistant coach)
  • Sushant “Ominous” Jha (Analyst)
  • “Jiaqi” (Staff)

What’s Next for Juicy?

Juicy is now a free agent heading into the 2026 VCT season. Given his track record across Southeast Asia and his international experience, he’s likely to be a hot prospect for organisations looking to strengthen their roster with an explosive Duelist talent.

With his proven ability on LAN and a Masters podium finish under his belt, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Juicy land with another franchise team sooner rather than later.
