Updated roster of DetonatioN FocusMe
DetonatioN FocusMe completely updates the roster by signing stars from RIDDLE
The Japanese organization DetonatioN FocusMe officially presented the fully updated roster for the VCT 2026 season. The team was joined by three key members from the former RIDDLE lineup: two players and the head coach.
The new faces in the main roster are:
-
Amon Caedye Mateus Okakura — a key player from RIDDLE, who joined on January 1, 2026.
-
yatsuka — another key player from RIDDLE, who also joined on January 1, 2026.
-
Kakeru vorz Ikarashi — the new head coach, who previously led RIDDLE.
Together with RIDDLE Caedye and yatsuka completely dominated the Japanese Challengers scene, winning VALORANT Challengers 2025 Japan: Split 1, VALORANT Challengers 2025 Japan: Split 2 and VALORANT Challengers 2025 Japan: Season Finals throughout the year. However, their path to the VCT arena ended in disappointment: the team placed 9-10th at VCT Ascension Pacific 2025, failing to break into the top division VCT Pacific.
The previous 2025 season was challenging for DetonatioN FocusMe. The team showed its best result at the very beginning of the year, taking 5-6th place at VCT 2025: Pacific Kickoff. However, in the subsequent league stages, the results worsened: 11-12th place at VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 1 and 7-8th place at VCT 2025: Pacific Stage 2. These performances, evidently, led to a decisive roster reboot.
