Sources: Kr1stal set to join FULL SENSE for 2027 VCT Pacific season

According to sources close to Sheep Esports, Savva "Kr1stal" Fedorov is expected to join FULL SENSE for the 2027 VCT Pacific season, following two seasons with Global Esports. The Indian organization, which was not selected as a partner for the next VALORANT Champions Tour cycle, has decided to shut down, leaving all its players free agents. This has allowed the Thai club, recently added to the Pacific region, to sign the Russian Initiator.

Having only joined the VCT Pacific in 2026 as a replacement for TALON Esports, FS managed to attend an international LAN this year by qualifying for Masters London after finishing second in Stage 1. This success was largely due to the Thai club acquiring the players who had already been competing under TALON.

According to sources close to Sheep Esports, the Russian player is also not expected to be the only import in FULL SENSE's 2027 project. The other import set to replace Papaphat "Primmie" Sriprapha, who recently announced that he’s looking for a new project for 2027.

It's also worth noting that all of the contracts for the players on this season's roster are set to expire in the coming days, according to Global Contract Database. It should be noted that FS will have to field a roster consisting of at least three Thai players for 2027 in order to compete in the local qualifier.

Joining Global Esports for the 2024 season, where he would discover top-level competition, Kr1stal endured a difficult first year, with the Indian organization only managing bottom-of-the-table results. 2026 would mark a turning point for the project, particularly from Stage 1 onward. The Kickoff was nevertheless challenging, as GE finished 7th-8th, including two defeats against Paper Rex.

During Stage 1, GE managed to reach the playoffs and, for the first time in the organization's history, secure a podium finish and, most importantly, qualify for Masters London. Although the tournament in the English capital did not go particularly well, with two defeats and just one win in the group stage, the momentum had been set for Kr1stal and his teammates. Back in Seoul for Stage 2, Global continued to rack up wins, finishing second in its group stage before dominating the playoffs to claim the title by defeating Nongshim RedForce in the grand final.

Having logically qualified for their first VALORANT Champions, the Indian club found itself in what would ultimately prove to be the group of death, Group B. Global Esports narrowly lost its opening match against Team Vitality, the eventual runner-up. With their backs against the wall, GE then comfortably defeated EDward Gaming to face LOUD in the deciding match, against the team that would go on to win the tournament. GE ultimately fell to the Brazilian club, bringing its Champions campaign to an end in the group stage.
