BESTIA says it is stepping away from Valorant as part of its plans for 2027 and has released its entire roster. Melser, Tacolilla, david and chubizin have announced free agency, while loan player Loss has returned to FURIA. The decision ends the organization’s current run in the game after a season that produced a LATAM South title and an appearance in the Americas Stage 2 play-ins.
The announcement is a team-level decision, not a confirmed transfer for the released players. BESTIA said its players would become free agents, and several members followed with their own availability announcements. No replacement club, shared future lineup or date for a BESTIA return has been confirmed. Those boundaries matter because a full roster release can produce speculation long before the next contracts exist.
A complete release after a competitive rise
The core had competed as Melser Kindergarten before BESTIA signed it. Under the BESTIA name, the lineup went on to win the Challengers LATAM South ACE Stage 2 title, beating KRU SPARK 3-2 in the final. It also won the Latin America Finals against Contra. Those results helped carry the team into the Americas Stage 2 play-ins, giving the departure a competitive context beyond the fact that a contract ended.
The play-ins brought mixed results. BESTIA lost a close 1-2 series to KRU Esports, then beat Cloud9 2-0 to keep its hopes alive. A subsequent 0-2 defeat to G2 Esports ended the run. The sequence is important: the team did not leave the game immediately after a single win or a single loss. It had a regional title and a meaningful higher-level appearance before the organization announced a different direction for 2027.
The final roster situation has a further complication. Shyy had moved to FURIA earlier, with Loss joining BESTIA on loan. Loss’s return to FURIA is therefore not the same as a newly announced free-agent search. Melser, Tacolilla, david and chubizin are the players identified as seeking opportunities after the release. Stating those statuses separately avoids listing a returning loanee as though he is unattached.
BESTIA’s statement covers the organization as well as the players. It says the club has decided to step away from Valorant in light of its plans for next year. That is stronger than saying the team is merely considering changes to its active lineup, but it is not a timetable for a permanent exit. The available announcement does not set a return date or describe a replacement roster, so neither should be invented.
Some discussion around the former squad has suggested that several players could stay together. That remains unconfirmed. A careful roster report should distinguish what the organization and players have announced from what observers hope or expect. At present, the confirmed change is the release and the resulting player availability, with Loss returning to his parent club.
What happens next is still open
For the free agents, the next verifiable development will be a signing or an official statement about a new project. Being available does not mean the same four players will join one team, nor does it tell readers which league they will enter. Their prior results may make them relevant to roster discussions, but past performance alone cannot establish a future destination.
For BESTIA, stepping away ends its current representation in Valorant. Its season can be evaluated through the confirmed milestones: a LATAM South title, a Latin America Finals win and an Americas play-in appearance. Those achievements do not negate the organization’s decision, just as its play-in exit does not by itself explain the business or strategic reasons behind that decision. The official statement cites its plans for 2027; it does not provide a detailed cause.
The loan distinction is especially useful for readers tracking individual players. Loss returned to FURIA rather than entering the same market as the released free agents. Shyy’s earlier move to FURIA belongs to a previous roster change, not this announcement. That leaves Melser, Tacolilla, david and chubizin as the specifically named free agents in the immediate aftermath. Any additional personnel update should be reported when confirmed rather than inferred from the former team list.
BESTIA’s announcement closes a chapter, but not each player’s story. The organization is no longer fielding this Valorant roster; the players have different documented next-step statuses; and no replacement lineup has been named. A future agreement could change that picture quickly. Until then, the reliable report is the confirmed release, the preceding competitive record and the fact that next destinations remain unknown.
BESTIA has released its Valorant roster and is stepping away from the game. Melser, Tacolilla, david and chubizin are free agents; Loss has returned to FURIA.
