IN:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Janusz \u201cSnax\u201d Pogorzelski \u2014 returns to GamerLegion as in-game leader. This marks his second stint with the organization after leading the team throughout 2023\u20132024, a period highlighted by qualification for the PGL Major Copenhagen.<\/li>\n
- Adrian \u201cimd\u201d Pieper \u2014 the new head coach, officially appointed to improve results and help the team raise both their statistics and overall performance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
OUT:<\/p>\n
- \n
- ztr \u2014 moved to the bench.
\nThe decision looks logical, as the team is changing its concept: instead of developing an internal IGL project, they are choosing the option of an experienced leader in the form of Snax.<\/li>\n - ash \u2014 also remains on the bench.
\nThe context of this separation is tied to a complete rebuild of the team\u2019s in-game model.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\nUpdated team roster:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Janusz \u201cSnax\u201d Pogorzelski<\/li>\n

Wildcard<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Wildcard continue reshaping their 2026 project, confirming the signing of Jadan \u201cHexT\u201d Postma as the roster evolves following recent academy promotions. The move comes just weeks after the Canadian rifler parted ways with M80 and marks another step in Wildcard\u2019s ongoing rebuild.<\/p>\n
IN:<\/p>\n
Jadan \u201cHexT\u201d Postma \u2014 joins Wildcard. The 24-year-old rifler returns to action after an individually strong second half of 2025 with M80, where he posted a 1.16 average rating across six months. HexT arrives as a proven quantity at the tier-one fringe and adds experience to a lineup still finding its identity after significant changes.<\/p>\n
OUT \/ CONTEXT:<\/p>\n
Simon \u201csSen\u201d Soln\u00e6s Iversen \u2014 moved to the bench. The former Wildcard Academy player is sidelined after just one LAN appearance with the main team, as Wildcard continue to adjust roles and personnel early into the new season.<\/p>\n
Following the end of 2025, Wildcard underwent a major overhaul, retaining only Peeping from the previous stanislaw-led lineup. The organization promoted sSen and mhL from the academy and rounded out the roster with reck and CLASIA, before making this latest adjustment.<\/p>\n
Updated Wildcard roster:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Jaxon \u201cPeeping\u201d Cornwell<\/li>\n

Summary<\/p>\n
By bringing in HexT, Wildcard add a rifler with recent form and top-level experience as they continue to refine their post-2025 rebuild. With further competition ahead, the focus now shifts to whether this adjusted lineup can translate individual consistency into deeper tournament runs.<\/p>\n
Fluxo<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Fluxo continue reshaping their roster for 2026, confirming the signing of Raphael \u201cexit\u201d Lacerda as the team completes its lineup following recent changes. The move comes after the benching of arT earlier this month and signals a recalibration of roles rather than a full leadership overhaul.<\/p>\n
IN:<\/p>\n
exit \u2014 joins Fluxo. The former MIBR captain arrives after entering free agency at the start of 2026, ending a nearly five-year stint with the organization. Despite his leadership background, exit will not assume IGL duties on Fluxo, with that responsibility remaining in the hands of Lucaozy.<\/p>\n
The 28-year-old reunites with Lucaozy after their shared period at MIBR (September 2024 \u2013 June 2025), during which they competed at both the Perfect World Shanghai Major and BLAST.tv Austin Major. exit cited Fluxo\u2019s structure, ambition, and competitive hunger as key factors behind his decision.<\/p>\n
OUT \/ CONTEXT:<\/p>\n
The signing follows the benching of Andrei \u201carT\u201d Piovezan on January 8 as Fluxo continue to search for greater stability and consistency. While exit replaces arT in the lineup, the team opted against a leadership change, instead doubling down on Lucaozy as the central in-game voice.<\/p>\n
Updated team roster:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Romeu \u201czevy\u201d Rocco<\/li>\n
- Kayke \u201ckye\u201d Bertolucci<\/li>\n
- Lucas \u201cLucaozy\u201d Neves<\/li>\n
- Lucas \u201cdecenty\u201d Bacelar<\/li>\n
- Raphael \u201cexit\u201d Lacerda<\/li>\n
- Coach: Marcos \u201ctacitus\u201d Castilho<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Benched:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Matheus \u201cmlhzin\u201d Mar\u00e7ola<\/li>\n
- Andrei \u201carT\u201d Piovezan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Summary<\/p>\n
By adding exit, Fluxo bring experience and proven big-match exposure into the lineup without disrupting their leadership structure. With LAN and online tests arriving immediately, the coming weeks will show whether this adjustment can deliver the consistency the Brazilian side is targeting for 2026.<\/p>\n
Eternal Fire<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Eternal Fire have taken a decisive step toward an international rebuild, announcing the signings of Volodymyr Woro2k Veletniuk and Rigon rigoN Gashi.

- rigoN \u2014 joins Eternal Fire. The Swiss rifler arrives after a stint with ENCE in the second half of 2025, where he averaged a 0.98 rating. With prior experience at Bad News Eagles and BIG, rigoN adds international pedigree despite ENCE\u2019s inconsistency, and his contract was terminated by mutual agreement at the start of 2026.<\/li>\n
- DemQQ \u2014 joins Eternal Fire.
\nThe Ukrainian rifler finalizes Eternal Fire\u2019s shift to an international roster, reuniting with Woro2k after their time together at Monte (2022\u20132024), which included an ESL Challenger J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping title and a Paris Major 2023 quarter-final run. DemQQ last played for Passion UA and has been inactive since August 2025.
