As previously reported by BSEN, FUT Esports has announced their roster for 2026 with the signings of Yaroslav “Angelboy” Labunets, Tigran “Nob?” Harutyunyan, and highly anticipated rookie Mykhaylo “Guesti.”


The Next Gen

Since 2023, Guesti has been dominating the third-party scene of Brawl Stars in EMEA. The only thing holding him back? The age limit. Guesti turned 16, the minimum age to compete in the BSC, on November 21st, 2025. Finally free of his chains, he will have the opportunity to compete at the heights of BSC, heading into the season under one of EMEA’s most decorated organizations. Guesti’s earnings are in excess of $27000 according to Liquipedia, a shocking number for someone who has never played a Monthly Final and over 5 times the amount of NXT’s Arthur, who qualified to LCQ in 2025, showcasing his dominance across Matcherinos. 


A Bright FUTure

In their fourth year since joining the scene midway through 2023, FUT Esports are looking to make an impact, having floated around the bottom end of EMEA partnered organizations against the likes of TTM, SK, and HMB. Over the past three years, FUT has yet to win a single Monthly Final, despite making several grand finals across that time period. Their highest international performance was in 2025 with Nowy, GeRo, and MeOw, where they were swiftly eliminated in the quarterfinals by HMBLE after wins over statistically weak teams STMN and SUP. No matter how hyped, signing Guesti with no proven experience at the highest level is still a gamble, but it’s one that organizations seem to be willing to take coming into the new year, with TE also picking up a rookie roster in North America. 


Duo Goals

2026 will serve as FUT’s chance for redemption–and Angelboy’s too. Angelboy was the highlight of Reply Totem in 2025, but it was a difficult regular season. Despite a harrowing journey through LCQ and a close victory over REJECT to qualify to playoffs, TTM were simply outclassed by SK and ended their World Finals journey with a sweep, falling 0-3. Much like FUT, Angelboy has had trouble making a splash on the Worlds stage, qualifying to two World Finals in 2022 and 2023 with NAVI, but placing dead last at both. 


Nob? has not been as lucky to even make Worlds. At LCQ he was placed in a group with eventual champions Crazy Raccoon and semifinalists Revenant XSpark, resulting in a difficult set of matches that resulted in Inner Circle not advancing beyond the group stage, a shocking performance for EMEA’s highest seed coming into LCQ this past year. The talented player wasn’t able to play at 2024’s LCQ, despite qualifying, due to visa issues as he watched Angelboy and his team STMN EU fall to ECP in a heartbreaking five set match and miss the 2024 World Finals. And in 2023, his debut year of competition, Nob? made it to the LCQ golden ticket match, only to lose to a deadly NAVI team led by his new teammate Angelboy. 


Now, the duo reunites under a new banner, determined to compete at the highest level together and lift trophies. Alongside EMEA’s most talked of prospect, Angelboy will look to lead his teammates to their first Monthly Final titles, their first World Finals, and beyond.
