Fire Flux Esports Sign REBORN Roster for VCT EMEA Stage 2 Play-Ins

REBORN’s VALORANT roster now competes under the Fire Flux Esports banner, giving the Turkish Challengers squad organisational backing as it enters the VCT 2026 EMEA Stage 2 Play-Ins. Fire Flux Esports announced the signing on 6 August 2026, confirming five starters, a substitute, and both coaches.

The pickup ends REBORN’s spell without an organisation, which began when S2G Esports exited VALORANT and released the squad. Fire Flux have kept the qualifying five together and retained the coaching booth intact.

Fire Flux Esports’ Confirmed VALORANT Roster

batujnax arrives with the deepest recent league résumé of the group, having played for Apeks in 2024. Reazy carries the other established name on the roster, with a 2024 stint at BBL Esports behind him. DeadInk is a Turkish journeyman who has moved between rosters across the region and slots in as the secondary Duelist.

Hezacoil and Kachoww are the two newest faces, both sitting barely under or over a year from their competitive debuts. That places the Controller and primary Duelist positions, two of the roles that carry the most round-to-round responsibility, in the hands of the least experienced players on the sheet. Lev and XovLoV continue in the coaching booth, keeping the structure the roster used through Challengers.

How REBORN Qualified For The Play-Ins

REBORN came together midway through 2026 after S2G Esports pulled out of VALORANT and dropped the players. The squad moved quickly, taking the Türkiye Birlik Stage 2 title without dropping a series, then going on to be crowned Challengers EMEA Stage 2 champions.

Stage 3 did not go the same way. The team could not defend its crown, but the runner-up finish was enough to secure a Play-Ins berth. The placement that actually opened the door was the Stage 3 silver, not the Stage 2 championship.

Fire Flux Esports In VALORANT Since 2021

Fire Flux have fielded VALORANT rosters since 2021 and have assembled competitive squads without converting them into regional results. The organisation’s jersey has been worn by sociablEE, Wo0t, yetujey, Ruxic, and musz3kk, the last of whom came close to a move to GIANTX.

The coaching booth has carried names of similar weight. Salah, vladk0r, and PAL have all worked under the FFE banner across the organisation’s five years in the game.

Fire Flux Open Against PCIFIC Esports After Last Chance Qualifier Exit

Fire Flux had their own route to this stage. The organisation entered the EMEA Last Chance Qualifier with its previous roster and finished in the 5th-8th bracket, missing out on a Play-Ins place. Signing REBORN delivers the same destination with a different group of players, and with a squad that earned the berth on its own results.

The first assignment is a Turkish derby. Fire Flux open against PCIFIC Esports, an organisation they last faced in 2024 in the Turkish Challengers circuit. As of 7 August, no date for that match had been included in the roster announcement.
