After FULL SENSE’s loss to FUT Esports in the opening round of the Swiss Stage at VALORANT Masters London 2026, the team’s players spoke at a post-match press conference. During the session, they were asked about the Haven agent choice, the experience of playing on the international stage, what went wrong against FUT’s pace, and what the team needs to fix before its next match.
What FULL SENSE said about Haven and the international stage
Taned "Killua" Teerasawad was first asked why he enjoys playing Fade on Haven and how the pick fits into FULL SENSE’s structure on a map where Sova is often considered a standard choice. His answer was brief and direct:
I mean, the coach just told me to play.
Thanyathon "Leviathan" Nakmee was later asked about making his international event debut and competing in front of a crowd and in a venue different from what he is used to. He said he tried to keep his focus away from the atmosphere and on his own game:
I mean, it’s very exciting, of course, but I try my best to not focus on things that are like the atmosphere and the environment. I try to focus on myself. I feel very excited and, most importantly, I’m just super, super happy to be able to play here at Masters London.
Primmie on what FULL SENSE need to improve
Papaphat "Primmie" Sriprapha was asked what FULL SENSE should improve before their next match. He pointed to teamwork and included himself in that assessment, saying the team need to simplify their focus and play more together:
So I think the biggest point is mostly just focus on playing as a team, including myself, where I should be more of a team player as well. I think mostly it’s just as simple as that, where we just need to focus more on being a team.
Crws on the team’s style and next opponent
Thanamethk "Crws" Mahatthananuyut was asked about his return to an international event and the difference between the old version of himself and the current one. He said FULL SENSE entered the event with a different style, but admitted that the team still needed to understand why the performance on stage looked the way it did:
So I think we come in with a very different style of play, and I still haven’t really figured out what happened on stage. What happened on stage still amazes me, how we performed. We’ll probably figure it out, hopefully before the next game.
When asked who he would want to face next, Crws said the opponent did not matter if FULL SENSE continued to play at the same level:
So for who to play next, I don’t really care. If we keep on playing the way we are playing, I don’t think we have any chance. So I just need to figure out a solution for the boys, and I hope we don’t look like this in the next game.
Crws explains the Fracture pick and the Neon-Phoenix setup
Crws was also asked about FULL SENSE’s map decision, as many expected the team to play Pearl, while they instead went to Fracture. He explained that FUT’s Breeze ban changed the plan and pushed FULL SENSE away from Pearl, which he believed could have been heavily prepared by their opponents:
So for the reason why we picked Fracture was probably because we didn’t expect the Breeze ban. I don’t know why they banned Breeze, props to them. And knowing that they banned Breeze and our second-best map is probably Pearl, I think they would have prepped a lot for Pearl. So I didn’t want to go into a heavily prepped map. That’s why we pivoted to Fracture. Still, it’s a better map for them regardless. So if I could go back in time, I’d pick Pearl. Unlucky.
He was also asked why FULL SENSE kept using Neon and Phoenix. Crws said the combination had looked different in practice, but the team failed to bring that level to the stage:
But for the reason why we stuck with Neon and Phoenix is probably because in scrims the results are way different compared to what happened on stage. So I think we didn’t really perform to our potential, and maybe it’s my hesitation for the team, not guiding the team well enough. We hesitated a lot. We took our sweet time in the game for no reason, and it kind of cost us the game.
Crws on FUT’s pace and s0pp’s aggression
Crws was then asked whether FUT’s speed caught FULL SENSE off guard. He said the team expected a fast game, but failed to stop FUT’s rushes or execute their own properly:
I think we were expecting it. We knew going into the game it was going to look like this. I even said in an interview that it was going to be one of the fastest games. Didn’t expect it to go this way. But yeah, it wasn’t anything unexpected. We just didn’t do well enough to stop their rushes, and we didn’t really do well with our own rushes as well.
The final player-focused question was again directed to Crws and centered on s0pp’s aggressive entries. Crws said FULL SENSE had experience against similar styles in Pacific, which made the issue more frustrating:
I mean, no offense to s0pp, but we’ve played against players like that in Pacific. Every single team in Pacific plays like that. Something caught us off guard, and I don’t know why. It’s probably because of stage fright, and maybe I hope it is, and I hope we could fix that. But I don’t think it’s anything unexpected. We should be able to stop that. We stopped it in Pacific. I don’t know why we can’t do it here.
VALORANT Masters London 2026 is taking place from June 6 to June 21 at the Copper Box Arena in London. The event features 12 teams competing for a $1,000,000 prize pool and VCT points, with the Swiss Stage deciding which teams move on to the playoffs.
