Thai Valorant squad Full Sense just made its first major roster move ahead of the VCT Pacific Stage 2, promoting Chinnakrit “seph1roth” Phoojaroen from substitute to starter and benching Leviathan in the process. The swap, announced on July 3, 2026, signals the organization’s intent to field its strongest possible lineup for what will be its debut appearance on the Pacific stage.
The roster move and what it means competitively
Seph1roth is no stranger to the Full Sense jersey. This is actually his second stint with the organization, having previously competed under the banner before a brief departure to Sharper Esports. He returned in April 2026, initially in a substitute role, essentially waiting in the wings while the team evaluated its options.
Now he’s back on the main stage. Full Sense earned its VCT Pacific slot through a promotion process at the end of 2025, clawing its way into one of the most competitive regional leagues in professional Valorant. The first matches of VCT Pacific Stage 2 kick off on July 16-17, with Full Sense facing Nongshim RedForce on July 17.
Nongshim RedForce, backed by the South Korean food and entertainment conglomerate, represents the kind of well-resourced opposition that makes or breaks a team’s season trajectory. Full Sense clearly decided that seph1roth’s experience gives them a better shot than the current configuration with Leviathan in the active lineup.
