The Valorant offseason is officially heating up. As teams begin to navigate the fallout of the 2026 season and the shifting structures of the VCT, two notable organizations have started their rebuilds: Cloud9 and PCIFIC.
Cloud9’s Total Reset
Cloud9 has granted controller player Victor "v1c" Truong permission to explore his options, marking the latest development in a turbulent year for the organization. After failing to secure a partnership spot for the 2027 season, the team is effectively starting from scratch.
The decision comes after a challenging 2026 campaign where the roster struggled to find consistency. v1c, who had returned to the team for Stage 2, now finds himself looking for a new home as Cloud9 shifts its focus toward open qualifiers. This move follows the departure of head coach Veer and initiator Jackk, signaling that the "Colossus" era of the organization is firmly in the rearview mirror. With the team now running 10-man lobby tryouts, the goal is clear: a complete identity shift to regain their competitive edge.
PCIFIC’s IGL Moves On
Across the globe, the PCIFIC exodus continues. In-game leader Mateja "qpert" Mijović has officially entered free agency, parting ways with the Turkish organization.
qpert’s tenure with PCIFIC was defined by the team's struggles in the VCT EMEA league, where they endured a difficult, winless season. Despite the team's inability to secure a series victory throughout the year, qpert remained a central figure in their tactical approach. His departure is a significant blow to the current roster's leadership, leaving the organization with a massive void to fill as they look to rebuild their project.
