Riot Games has promoted FULL SENSE to VCT Pacific after TALON Esports’ removal from the competition in November 2025.
On Nov. 18, Riot terminated TALON’s partnership agreement with VCT with immediate effect as the Hong Kong-based esports org failed to operate in line with league standards. This included overdue payments to players and was unable to provide sufficient financial capacity to continue participating in the VCT.
In their official announcement post on Dec. 8, 2025, Riot promoted FULL SENSE and confirmed the Thai org will retain the full active roster of players from TALON Esports.
The active roster from TALON included Thanamethk “Crws” Mahatthananuyut, Tanate “Killua” Teerasawad, Anupong “thyy” Preamsak, Jittana “JitBoyS” Nokngam, Papaphat “primmie” Sriprapha, and Thanachart “Surf” Rungapajaratkul as sub.
Jake Sin, Head of APAC VALORANT Esports, is excited to see how the roster continues their journey representing a different team. “Another meaningful part of this transition is that FULL SENSE will become the new home for the full former Talon roster. Keeping this group together was important to us and to many fans,” Sin wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Although FULL SENSE finished eighth in VCT Ascension Pacific 2025, Jake explained why the team was promoted: “When evaluating potential partners, we focused on finding a team that truly connects with our Thai community and represents it with pride. Full Sense has built that resonance over years of showing up for Thai fans and consistently earning their place on the Ascension stage – a reflection of their ambition and the potential they’ve demonstrated at the regional level.”
Every player from the ex-TALON roster is from Thailand. So, the representation of the Thai org in VCT Pacific couldn’t have come at a better time. “We are excited to announce that Full Sense has officially entered VCT Pacific 2026 — proudly representing Thailand. Let’s “Fly Higher” together, powered by Thai spirit,” said the org in their X post.
So, FULL SENSE will be one of the 12 confirmed teams competing in VCT Pacific that includes DetonatioN FocusMe, DRX, Gen.G, Global Esports, Paper Rex, Rex Regum Qeon, T1, SLT, Team Secret, ZETA DIVISION, and Nongshim RedForce.
