DetonatioN FocusMe announces open recruitment of players for the next season

Japanese organization DetonatioN FocusMe, a partner team in the Pacific region, has announced open recruitment for new players to join their Valorant roster for the upcoming season. This information was made known through a publication on their personal Twitter page.

What is "open recruitment"?

Open recruitment is when an organization provides an opportunity for any player who meets the requirements to have a chance to become part of their team and receive a professional contract. Requirements for players, the process of player selection, step-by-step joining instructions, and what players get when joining the organization are available at the link left by the organization for submitting applications in the announcement post.

Mandatory requirements:

• 18 years old and older
• Radiant 600RR experience or higher
• Those who have sufficient tournament results or equivalent abilities and achievements
• Those who can obtain a visa for staying in Korea
• Those who can work at the boot camp in Korea during the tournament
• Those who can take on social responsibility as a player belonging to DetonatioN FocusMe
• Those who can engage in stable activity from 12 to 25 hours, 5-6 days a week

A citizen of any country can become part of the organization, but according to the VCT rules, only one foreign player is allowed in the starting lineup, while all other four players must have citizenship of the country where the league is held.

Will players from the past roster remain?

At the time of writing this article, the organization has not provided any comments regarding their current roster. Perhaps some of them will stay and join the new roster. According to data from the VCT Global Contract Database, it is known that three players have contracts ending this year, namely:

• Ryumon "Reita" Oshiro
• Park "Seoldam" Sang-min
• Seo "Suggest" Jae-young

Why did the organization take this step?

The current team lineup started its journey at the beginning of this season. Unfortunately, after the season ended, the team became the worst among all other teams from different regions, setting a record low, losing all 11 meetings and finishing the VCT Pacific League 2023 in 10th place, and the VCT Pacific Last Chance Qualifier 2023 in 7th place.
