Three new signings, already familiar faces on the scene
Joblife have unveiled their VALORANT roster for 2026, officially confirming the addition of Domagoj "doma" Fancev, Maks "kamyk" Rychlewski, and Emil "runneR" Trajkovski. On this occasion, kamyk also makes his return to the organisation after a stint in VCT EMEA with Team Liquid and Gentle Mates, on the back of an excellent year with Joblife in VCL France 2024. Added to the recent arrival of Enzo "Enzo" Mestari and the contract extension of Egor "chiwa" Stepanyuk, Joblife secures a roster that appears well-equipped to challenge the top of the EMEA tier-two.
Over the past year, doma played under the Enterprise Esports banner, where he qualified for Challengers EMEA, while also helping Fnatic as a substitute. This kept him firmly embedded in the ecosystem of top international teams, notably stepping in at the last minute for Emir “Alfajer” Ali Beder during Champions for a single map. He delivered a remarkable performance and helped the Black and Orange continue their run in Champions Paris by securing a hard-fought victory over one of the best teams in the world and Masters Toronto champions, Paper Rex. For his part, runneR competed in VCT EMEA 2024 with Team Vitality before joining GIANTX VCT roster for 2025. He played the Kickoff and Stage 1, then was moved to the bench for the remainder of the season.
A first test with Project Blender
The arrival of these three players comes as Joblife is emerging from a 2025 season highlighted by a fourth French championship title in Challengers France, earned against Mandatory with a clean 3–0 scoreline. The organisation then went on to represent France in Challengers EMEA Stage 3 and subsequently in VCT Ascension EMEA 2025.
They benefited from Team RA’AD’s withdrawal to access the tournament and recorded several notable victories, including one against Enterprise Esports with doma in their ranks. At the same time, JL opted to extend head coach Kevin "Larsson" Bernand and assistant coach SKAZZ in light of last year’s results, a strong signal that underlines the organisation’s confidence in its staff.
Newly assembled, this Joblife line-up is currently competing in Project Blender 2025, an offseason tournament organised by Riot Games and GOZULTING and integrated into a broader series of events open to the entire EMEA ecosystem. In this Phase 3, played in a Swiss format, Joblife have already faced BBL Esports and may cross paths with several tier 1 teams such as Natus Vincere, Team Vitality, Gentle Mates, Karmine Corp, or GIANTX, making it an important first competitive test for a five that has only just been put together.
Joblife roster for 2026:
- Domagoj "doma" Fancev
- Maks "kamyk" Rychlewski
- Emil "runneR" Trajkovski
- Egor "chiwa" Stepanyuk
- Enzo "Enzo" Mestari
