Team Secret parts ways with head coach Rbtx after six-month tenure

Team Secret has parted ways with Jose “Rbtx” Jamir, the head coach of its VALORANT division. The move caps a remarkably short stint for the Filipino coach, who was appointed to the role just six months ago in late December 2025.

A brief but eventful run

Rbtx’s journey to the Team Secret head coaching chair was, on paper, a logical promotion. He had previously served as the coach of Team Secret’s academy squad, where his work apparently caught the attention of the organization’s leadership. Before that, he spent time coaching RRQ between 2022 and 2023, giving him a track record in the Southeast Asian VALORANT scene.

He officially took over as head coach on December 24, 2025.

A roster in flux

Rbtx’s departure is not happening in a vacuum. Team Secret’s 2026 has been defined by personnel turnover at virtually every level.

TenTen, a notable player on the roster, exited the team in March. Then came the departure of JessieVash, a veteran presence whose exit in June removed one of the squad’s most experienced competitors.

What this means for Team Secret’s competitive outlook

The VCT Pacific league is one of the three major international leagues in Riot Games’ VALORANT Champions Tour structure, alongside the Americas and EMEA leagues. Teams in these leagues are fighting not just for regional dominance but for slots at international events like Masters and Champions.

Rbtx, for his part, leaves with a coaching resume that now includes stints at RRQ, Team Secret’s academy program, and a brief run as a VCT Pacific head coach.
