According to sources close to
Sheep Esports, Shawn
"KADIRI" Duhan has reached a verbal agreement with
Gods Reign for the 2026
VALORANT Challengers South Asia (VCSA) season. The Australian player has established himself as one of the rising talents in the Oceania region after an initial notable stint with Arcade Esports in 2024, during Challengers League 2024 Oceania: Stage 1.
In 2025, he took a further step forward by joining E-KING, with whom he strung together results on the Oceanic scene: the team won Challengers 2025: Oceania Stage 1 and Stage 2, earning a spot at
VCT 2025: Pacific Ascension, where they finished in the 9th–10th place range after the group stage. Primarily used in Sentinel roles on agents such as Cypher, Vyse, and Killjoy, he has built a reputation as a specialist in site anchoring and information control within the OCE region.
In this context, bringing in a profile like KADIRI marks a clear turning point: that of a 2026 project built around a talent developed within the VCT Oceania ecosystem and already tested at Pacific Ascension. By targeting a player capable of translating his experience as a regional OCE league champion and Ascension competitor into a South Asian project, Gods Reign would be laying the first foundations of a new competitive cycle.
