A busy free agency period awaits a lot of players in the EMEA region after the end of the competitive VALORANT space. Many players have started planning for their next step, and one player will definitely be regarded as the hottest free agent right now.
One of Fnatic’s VALORANT stars has revealed his availability after Derke disclosed on Wednesday that teams can now field offers for him ahead of the 2025 season as he’s now a restricted free agent.
Derke is undoubtedly one of the most prominent and deadliest players in the world at the moment, but teams who can afford to have him wouldn’t mind fielding him in the 2025 season. This year alone, he won back-to-back stages in Europe as well as the 2023 Masters Tokyo and the 2023 LOCK//IN tournament.
Derke is one of the key components that have helped Fnatic become the big name they are now in the EMEA region and are now fondly regarded as the Kings of Europe by fans. Derke’s playing style includes creating space, hitting outrageous shots, and imitating the attack for his squad. Many Esports analysts see him as a top-10 talent in the world.
However, he may have to test his qualities in a different region and a different color than the previously known one. The player shows willingness to feature for an EMEA team, North American, and even a Pacific organization for the right offers.
Meanwhile, Derke can still be forced to stay at Fnatic if the organization matches any of the offers received from outside, meaning that Derke could still be at the organization till next year if an offer that Fnatic can’t match comes.
Fnatic failed to match the results of 2023 despite winning the two stages in their region. They also failed to qualify for Masters Madrid and dropped out of both Masters Shanghai and VALORANT Champions 2024 disappointingly.
