Team Heretics has dropped a bombshell announcement that is most likely the biggest news Valorant‘s future the gaming world has seen until now. They have secured the Turkish player ComeBackFPS for the 2026 season, and this move has caused massive debates and stirred the excitement in the whole gaming scene.
So, who is this ComeBackFPS anyway and what is the reason behind his signing that made it so significant? He has been one of the top-tier players in the competitive Valorant arena and obviously, Heretics have a clear view of the talent that is hidden inside him. The news got the official Twitter account of Valorant Esports buzzing, and not to mention, within hours players were jumping into the replies giving different reactions some being hype while others sarcastic.
Looks of ComeBackFPS was the very first thing that gamers brought up. Many users were commenting that ComeBackFPS looks like a combination of pros Demon1 and FNS, with one of them saying “Bro looked like Demon1” and another believing “Why does he low-key look like @FNS and @Demon1___ combined.” It was so that even actor Ryan Gosling was dragged into the discussion with some people joking about the resemblance. I mean, seriously, what is it with Valorant players that they all start looking like celebrities these days??
Nevertheless, apart from looks, the critical question is what exactly ComeBackFPS will bring to Heretics. A Spanish-speaking fan offered some quite important info, which in translation said: “It’s not enough for him just to play excellently, he’s expected to be the Turkish star of this season (even over woot, alfajer, or riens), he has a lot of potentials.” That’s some high expectations right there, potentially positioning him above some already-established Turkish talents in the scene.
Noone can deny the fact that the Heretics supporters are over the moon with this signing, the phrase “Vamos Heretics” has been and continues to be very common in the replies from various accounts. One thrilled fan stated, “Ryan gosling, fns, d1, we got everybody on our team, we are not losing” which sounds like the ultimate fantasy roster if that was actually true. Another simply remarked “My boy is gonna dominate the server 😁🤍” which implies that the community already believes in this new addition.
Some people were debating whether this was a “W or L?” as one user described it, however, the prevailing view seems to suggest that this is indeed the biggest win for Heretics. “Massive W” from another user is a very good summary of the feeling. Even the question “JUEGA BIEN?” (which translates to “Does he play well?”) got an elaborate reply concerning his capacity to become the top Turkish player this season.
What adds to the interest is not only the fact that the timing is perfect but also the fact that it is the 2026 season we are talking about, which Heretics is planning to make this roster change a long-term commitment. They are not simply making a last-minute pick; it is a strategic long-term investment in a player they believe will continue to develop with the team over several seasons. In the fast-paced e-sports world where roster changes happen almost daily, planning two seasons ahead is a rare occurrence and signals a strong belief in their scouting abilities.
Since the very first day of the release of the game, the Valorant competitive scene has been very dynamic with organizations constantly hunting for that next superstar player who can lead them to the championship. Heretics have gradually been building their reputation as a strong competitor, and signing of ComeBackFPS feels like they have made another step closer to becoming the backbone of the scene.
For those who might not be very familiar with the current Valorant esports landscape, Team Heretics is a Spanish organization that is strategically spreading its client base internationally, and at the same time, it is making some really good moves in roster building. With the coming of the Turkish talent like ComeBackFPS, they have indicated that they are not only counting on their home region but are in fact looking for talents all over which is a great mentality for an organization with global ambitions.
One fan’s comment said it all: “he has 1 miniboo in each finger sooooooo” which might be incomprehensible to anyone not inside the community but in the case of the Valorant community it basically means they are expecting an amazing performance. The reference to miniboo is about a well-known player and streamer, and when someone is said to have “miniboo in each finger” it means that they possess the skill or magic of the hands or something.
Wait, what was I saying about fingers? Anyway, the community is buzzing, Heretics are on the move, and ComeBackFPS is soon to be acknowledged as a key player in the Valorant circles. The 2026 season is still quite distant, hence it is not possible to foresee how this saga will unfold, but the one thing we can be sure of that is the Heretics have become the most interesting and engaging team to watch.
The responses point to the fact that there are times in esports when it is not only about players’ stats, skirmishes, and skills but also about players’ personalities and even looks who become part of the story. The question regarding whether ComeBackFPS will live up to Demon1/FNS/Ryan Gosling’s comparisons will be left unanswered for now, but he certainly has already captured the whole Valorant community’s and beyond attention. Heretics have huge faith in the player, and if the reaction that has been already enthusiastic is anything to go by, then the timing of the faith might just be when 2026 arrives.
G2 is another organization making waves in the esports world, while PlayStation and Xbox continue to be major platforms for competitive gaming.
