VLDN stays in the five as aVN takes the coaching role
The roster made several changes after leaving Zero Tenacity. The most recent saw former BLEED player Vladan “VLDN” Radević replace aVN in the starting five, with aVN moving into coaching. The lineup won CCT 2026 Europe Series 11 in October, beating Acend 2:0 in the final.
The Hype Tech roster is:
- Vladan “Kind0” Mandic
- Vladan “VLDN” Radević
- Nikola “Dragon” Boskovic
- Andrej “Cjoffo” Šarac
- Adin “brutmonster” Husić
- Filip “aVN” Belojica (coach)
Hype Tech set for debut against WW
The best-of-three against WW is scheduled for November 14 at 19:00 CET. The lineup reached the playoffs with wins over PsychoFace, Leo and Black Phoenix under the ex-Zero Tenacity tag. A win in their first match as Hype Tech would send them through to the quarterfinals and keep them in contention for a second CCT title in less than a month.
