Team Secret just made three roster moves that signal the organization is done tinkering and ready to compete. The Philippine-based esports squad signed players STYRON and naTz alongside new head coach Peter “Spin” Bradford, all ahead of the Valorant Champions Tour Pacific Stage 2.
The group stage matches kick off on July 16, 2026, giving the revamped roster roughly three weeks to gel.
What the roster changes actually look like
STYRON comes to Team Secret with competitive experience from both DSG and MTV. NaTz rounds out the player additions, joining a roster that already includes kellyS, Sylvan, and TenTen from earlier iterations of the squad.
Spin, whose full name is Peter Bradford, replaces Jose “Rbtx” Jamir as head coach. Bradford brings pedigree from stints with Gen.G Esports and Mindfreak.
The reshuffling was partly triggered by the departure of JessieVash from the roster.
The announcement dropped on June 25, 2026, leaving less than a month before matches begin.
Team Secret’s broader ambitions, including crypto
Team Secret originally launched as a Dota 2 organization back in 2016 and ventured into Valorant in 2021. Their presence in the VCT Pacific league puts them in one of the most competitive regional circuits in professional Valorant.
Team Secret established a partnership with the Checkmate Ecosystem in January 2026, integrating the CHECK token into parts of their operations. The partnership enables CHECK to be used for merchandise purchases and tournament entry fees. The player signings and the crypto partnership exist in separate lanes and were not directly linked.
