Following the conclusion of the season, the Valorant Esports transfer window is heating up as teams gear up for the 2027 VCT Season. The 2026 VCT Season closing on a tumultuous note for several top organisations has given us one of the most volatile transfer windows of all time. With surprising departures and notable additions, here are all the top transfers so far.
Sentinels secure OXY
Arguably the biggest move of this transfer window, Sentinels have pulled in OXY from Cloud9 as part of their roster overhaul ahead of the upcoming season. Known for his aggressive plays, the duelist will be coming into the team as one of the most mechanically gifted talents on the scene right now, giving them the much-needed firepower they severely lacked in the last season.
Zellsis and brawk strengthen Sentinels
The second exciting transfer also features Sentinels. Despite OXY headlining their transfer window, Zellsis and brawk will be the foundational players who will be tucked away from the limelight and into the supporting roles. Their exceptionally cerebral playstyles offer room for the big names to make their plays while providing the stability to close games.
MaKo and Dambi head to Gen.G
The Asian powerhouse’s failure to produce any promising results in the last season led to the signings of MaKo from DRX and Dambi from Nongshim RedForce. The intention with these signings is readily apparent: to bolster their existing firepower and add the experience they need to take on the big names of the Valorant esports scene.
Meteor and TenTen move to QT DIG
Meteor and TenTen, two prominent names from the Pacific region, have joined QT DIG, hoping to steer the ship in the right direction. With the moves made ahead of the last season failing to fill the tactical gaps within the roster, these two players were brought specifically to complement the team’s playstyle, with which the roster hopes to deliver better results in the upcoming season.
Aurora Gaming locks roster with Derke, Boo, and trexx
Prominent talents of the Valorant esports scene, Derke, Boo, and trexx, have joined Aurora to establish a dominant footprint in the MESA region with a high-profile squad. Derke, Boo, and trexx will now participate in the 2027 VCT Season in Aurora colours.
There is still time for teams to make changes before the season commences. Not only does this open up room for more changes, but notable rumours like TenZ’s shocking return or jawgemo’s Vitality move add to the excitement. This unprecedented volatility is amplified by the growing esports landscape, which every team wants to dominate, and these signings are aimed at reshaping the regional competition and influencing the race for international trophies.
