Eternal Fire have completed their 2026 Counter-Strike 2 roster, officially signing Danish rifler Alexander “br0” Bro from NRG after 18 months with the American organisation. He arrives alongside fellow new addition Vladyslav “Kvem” Korol, who signed on a free transfer from Passion UA once his contract expired, rounding out the Turkish org’s five.

The pair replace Serhii “DemQQ” Demchenko and Rigon “rigoN” Gashi, who both departed at the start of July 2026. Eternal Fire confirmed the move on 5 July 2026, a day after reports that the deal was close to being finalised.

The signing links br0 up with Gareth “MisteM” Ries and Kvem, two other players who arrived in Turkish colours after spells on the North American scene. His addition rounds out a roster that Eternal Fire have rebuilt repeatedly over recent months while chasing stability.
br0 spent 18 months with NRG as a replacement for Vincent “Brehze” Cayonte, helping the team qualify for the previous three Majors and lifting their domestic results. He was moved to NRG’s bench in the wake of the team’s Stage 1 exit from the IEM Cologne Major, ending his tenure with the American side. Over the full spell he averaged a 1.09 LAN rating across three Majors, though he was unable to help NRG break out internationally, and struggled abroad with a 1.00 rating over 52 maps against top 30 opposition.
