Japanese-Korean esports organization VARREL is rolling out a new weapon in its quest for relevance in competitive Valorant. Former Gen.G controller Foxy9 officially makes his VCT Pacific debut today, joining a roster that has yet to notch a single win in the league.
The move and what it means for VARREL
Foxy9 joined VARREL around May 13 after parting ways with Gen.G, one of the more established names in competitive gaming. His career VCT earnings sit somewhere between $76,776 and $93,744, a respectable haul that speaks to consistent high-level play.
The signing was prompted by frustration. VARREL missed out on the VCT 2026 Pacific Stage 1 playoffs, and the organization decided it needed a roster shakeup heading into the Esports World Cup 2026 Pacific qualifiers.
Early returns have been encouraging. VARREL picked up a clean 2-0 victory against Team Secret on May 12 in qualifier play. But the VCT Pacific league itself remains unconquered territory for the squad, which has struggled to find consistent footing since the league’s inception.
