Poland can boast a roster composed entirely of VCT players for the upcoming Esports Nations Cup. The tournament, which is set to begin on November 8th, is highly likely to feature the Polish national team. According to sources close to Sheep Esports, the roster is expected to be the following one:
- Kamil “kamo” Frąckowiak
- Kajetan “kaajak” Haremski
- Dawid “PROFEK” Święć
- Miłosz “westside” Duda
- Patryk “starxo” Kopczyński.
Despite being without an organization since the start of the year, Patryk “paTiTek” Fabrowski is still expected to be part of the team as a substitute.
One of the most stacked roster in Europe
Unsurprisingly, Poland has assembled an extremely competitive lineup for the ENC. The country has consistently produced a significant number of representatives in VCT EMEA in recent years and, once again this season, Poland stands as the second most represented nation in the league behind Turkey.
The five selected players are also among the most experienced names available, with all of them having already competed at international events, with the exception of PROFEK, who is nevertheless set to make his Masters debut in London with Team Vitality in the near future. The remainder of the roster each possess over a year of VCT experience. Kaajak notably reached the VALORANT Champions final with Fnatic last year, while starxo famously won the tournament with Acend in 2021. The final two players are equally accomplished, as kamo notably won VCT EMEA Stage 2 2025 with Team Liquid against GIANTX and westside, while both then competed at Champions later that year.
Points earned by the polish roster
In order to secure a direct invitation to the tournament’s main event, the Polish roster will need to accumulate enough points to rank among the top sixteen national teams. Poland currently sits at 4,825 points, distributed as follows:
- kaajak (1300 points)
- kamo (1175 points)
- PROFEK (850 points)
- starxo (750 points)
- westside (750 points)
- paTiTek (675 points)
With such a high total score for the team's top five players, it's very likely that the team won't even need to go through a regional qualifier to access the competition. We will then most likely see the country at the ENC in November, perhaps even among the favorites of the competition.
What is ENC?
The Esports Nations Cup (ENC) is a national-team VALORANT competition organized by the Esports Foundation, the organization behind the Saudi-backed esports initiatives that have increasingly expanded their presence within the scene in recent years. Unlike traditional VALORANT tournaments, where organizations build international rosters, the ENC brings players together under their national flags, creating lineups and matchups that will never happen during the regular Champions Tour season.
