Fnatic has finally revealed his new VALORANT roster last week. AT the place of Domagoj “Doma” Fancev, who had been placed on the bench a few days after their elimination in the quarter-finals of the VALORANT Champions against Krü Esports last December, we find a young Russian player, Andrew “BraveAF” Gorchakov.
Before signing for Fnatic, the young competitor has already experienced other professional teams such as One Breath Gaming or Team Empire and had made a name for himself in VALORANT tournaments in the CIS region. This year, we will find it at Fnatic to fill the role of Sova, according to Jacob “Mini” Harris, the coach of the structure. It remains to be seen how this youngster will manage, Sova’s role being very tactical.
The wait is over. Join us in welcoming the newest member of Fnatic Valorant: @braveaff!
Brave represents the things we value in-game: great aim and intelligent utility usage, as well as the things we value out of the game: a hunger to improve and a positive attitude:

According to Mini, there was a will this year change roles within the roster, which would allow Booster to have more flexibility as IGL/Team Support. “We were looking for a confident Sova player and Brave represented everything we expect in the game: excellent aim as well as thoughtful utility use, as well as the things we expect outside the game: a thirst for improvement and being a positive teammatehe says. According to him, they have once again found a talented recruit, with enormous potential.
BraveAF will make its first matches alongside Fnatic next month at VCT EMEA: Stage One Challengers. He is a talented young player who fulfills his role well, having in the three months preceding his transfer played 72% of his games as Sova with a K/D of 1.30, satisfactory in its role, and an ACS of 167.8. It now only remains to be seen if this new Fnatic roster will be able to shine where the old couldn’t.
