Introducing the new-look ROUNDS VALORANT for 2026

In addition to making roster changes, ROUNDS VALORANT have opted for bringing in coaching staff from abroad.

You may have spotted our new boys in green on social media and they’ve already taken it to the server too… but what’s all the fuss about?

Let’s start from the beginning. From our previous roster, we’ve unfortunately had to say goodbye to Veeti “Penab” Salminen, as well as move Tommi “pose” Andrejeff to the Assistant Coach role. With Penab, we mutually decided to part ways as we begun our prep towards the 2026 season. As an integral part of the team since the very early days, we’ll be forever grateful for everything he gave us and wish nothing but the best for him in his future! For Pose on the other hand, his choice to hang up the mouse has freed him to stay with us in other manners, and we are super glad to keep him as part of the coaching staff!

Gaping holes in the squad called for reinforcement. Most of you were probably already familiar with our duelist Jarno “Jammu” Saarinen and sentinel Elias “awake” Veranen. These two were later joined by flex player Alex “y0DISH” Lindqvist, back in Lantrek 2025 when we took home the BYOC trophy in our home city of Tampere, Finland. Two spots left you say? And oh boy, what a dynamic duo we found on our doorstep. Ex-REIGN teammates Geo “Keks u” Nordström and Onni “tsägä” Qvist completed our 2026 roster as a package deal. From previous rivalries we were already much aware of what these guys are capable of and they’re nothing short of their title as one-time champions of the Finnish League. We actually field three of the sort now, with y0DISH also having secured that championship alongside them.

Players out of the way, we required a coach. In an exciting development, we’ve decided to go international with this one. Hailing from the United Kingdom, our new VALORANT Head Coach Ethan “Volatile” Clarke reigned supreme from multiple trialed candidates. With previous Game Changers experience, we simply felt Volatile was the best fit for this group of lads in particular. Being the HC, he takes on a managerial role of sorts, calling for any roster moves as well as adding tactical flair to our game. Rule, Britannia!
