Derke Is Now A Restricted Free Agent

As a devoted fan who has witnessed Derke’s incredible gameplay since his debut with Fnatic back in April 2021, I find myself at a crossroads of emotions. The news of his restricted free agency and potential departure from Fnatic is bittersweet, like savoring the last bite of a delicious dessert while knowing there won’t be any more left.


With the arrival of rostermania, we’ve been hit by an unexpected announcement shortly after Valorant Champions 2024 concludes. One of the top duelists in the game, Derke, has declared that he is a free agent with restrictions, gearing up for OFF//Season.

    According to the official VCT Global Database, his current contract runs through the end of 2025. Derke has expressed interest in various regions such as EMEA, North America, and Asia-Pacific.

    Let the off season begin.

    Restricted F/A
    Open to EMEA/NA/APAC

    Since April 2021, Derke has been a significant contributor to Fnatic, with numerous international and regional trophies to his name. Moreover, during the Valorant Champions Seoul tournament, he was the second highest rated player, despite Fnatic being eliminated in the Lower Quarter-finals.

      Fnatic has yet to disclose their upcoming roster addition to fill the spot left by Derke, marking a significant change in an era. Stay tuned to our Valorant segment for the most recent news regarding shifts in VCT squads.
