FUT announce xfl0ud signing; lauNX moved to the bench

FUT have formally announced the signing of Yasin "⁠xfl0ud⁠" Koç from HEROIC while Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea will be moving to the bench after a year with FUT.

lauNX came in as the most experienced member of FUT, shortly after the NAVI Junior core was signed to the Turkish org. xfl0ud now takes up the mantle of the team's eldest and most senior player.

Both FUT and lauNX would have been disappointed by their Major placing of 9th-11th, as they had come top-two at two tier-one events this year, even claiming the title at PGL Bucharest in April.

lauNX had expressed his interest in exploring options in the post-Major offseason before the start of action in Cologne, according to a report from HLTV.

xfl0ud joins FUT having featured for HEROIC since January 2025. This year, xfl0ud was HEROIC's second-highest-rated player with a 1.08 rating over 97 maps played, trailing only behind Linus "nilo" Bergman.

FUT's new roster is slated to debut at BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2, and here is how they will line up:

• Dmytro "dem0n" Myroshnychenko

• Aulon "Krabeni" Fazlija

• Nikita "⁠cmtry⁠" Samolotov

• Džiugas "dziugss" Steponavičius

• Yasin "xfl0ud" Koç

• András "coolio" Fercsák (Coach)

• Laurențiu "⁠lauNX⁠" Țârlea (Inactive)
