Valorant: d3ffo Leaves BOOM Esports as Free Agent [Confirmed]

Former VCT Masters Berlin champion Nikita 'd3ffo' Sudakov has officially parted ways with Indonesian organization BOOM Esports after a one-year competitive campaign, announcing his unrestricted free agent status as he explores Sentinel and flex opportunities across APAC and China for the 2026 VCT cycle. According to verified reports from VLR.gg, the 24-year-old Russian veteran confirmed his departure following a grueling regional season in Challengers Southeast Asia. D3ffo originally joined BOOM Esports to revitalize his career outside the EMEA circuit after stints with SweetNsour and Team Valiant. While his tenure in Jakarta brought veteran stability to BOOM alongside teammates Nakya, Shiro, and NcSlasher, the squad fell short of capturing an international promotion slot at Ascension. Reflecting on his departure, d3ffo acknowledged that it was an uphill season but emphasized his readiness to anchor sites and provide secondary calling on modern agent compositions like Cypher, Killjoy, and Tejo. Having reached the pinnacle of competitive under Gambit Esports and M3 Champions alongside stars like Chronicle and nAts, d3ffo remains one of the few internationally decorated free agents available in the global talent pool.
