Valorant Roster Update: Kyu Enters Free Agency From M80 [Confirmed]

According to verified reports from VLR.gg published in late 2026, experienced scan in-game leader Mirel "Kyu" Braco Hrustemovic has officially announced his departure from M80 to enter free agency ahead of the 2027 Champions Tour season. This move marks the conclusion of Kyu's second stint with the organization, raising immediate questions regarding M80's long-term operational commitment to professional Valorant. Kyu previously competed alongside head coach kaplan following their departure from Sentinels, where the duo went 1-3 in Americas Kickoff before igniting a resurgence on M80. During his tenure, Kyu dropped only a single match en route to capturing the Stage 2 title and orchestrating an undefeated run through Stage 3 to secure North America's coveted spot at the VCT Americas Stage 2 Play-Ins. Although the roster experienced a difficult 0-2 exit in the Play-Ins and finished the annual circuit ranked 13th to 16th regionally, Kyu's individual impact remained undeniable. Known for his disciplined tactical framework and willingness to adapt under pressure, the veteran IGL is actively seeking an ambitious roster where he can leverage his leadership. Meanwhile, industry analysts are closely monitoring M80's next steps as player market activity accelerates.
