[EMEA] Reply Totem Travels Back in Time

"THE LEGENDARY TRIO RETURNS 💚" - @Reply_Totem on X

As reported by BSEN, Reply Totem has confirmed the return of player Erik “Joker” Granström and new head coach Daniel “DaaNTz” Abellán for the 2026 season. 

Joker Comes Home

After two great years with SK Gaming, Joker returns to his roots and re-joins the Maru-Maury duo on Reply Totem, the organization he started his BSC career with in 2022. Despite mixed results to start the year, Joker qualified to the March and April Monthly Finals in his rookie season on F/A Baguette. A clear standout on the roster, Joker was looking to be a hot prospect for the 2023 season, but he would get his chance to prove himself sooner than that. After a disappointing first split, Reply Totem made a drastic change, signing Joker in place of SoiDeBressa.

This change marked the first era of TTM as they dominated the EMEA region, winning 2 monthly finals, the SPS Season 1 Challenge LAN event in Cologne, and qualifying to the World Finals with a rookie player. TTM placed 5th-8th at Worlds with a loss against Z1 in the quarterfinals. They finished the year on another high with a win at SPS Season 2’s Challenge LAN in Valencia. 

While TTM was not as dominant in 2024, they were still a force to be reckoned with in EMEA. They took home one Monthly Final and were the clear second place team in the region behind a dark horse ZETA team. Totem claimed their largest achievement in the organization’s history in 2023, winning the Snapdragon Pro Series Mobile Masters, a culmination of two seasons of ESL success. TTM comfortably qualified to the World Finals and advanced through groups with a close win over NAVI but failed to defeat their East Asian rivals once more. 

A Revenge Tour

After two years on SK Gaming, Joker has returned to TTM with a passion to finally overcome Japanese adversaries on the World Stage, after falling to Crazy Raccoon twice more in 2024 and 2025. DaaNTz joins after a great season with SKCalalas in South America, despite a difficult group at the 2025 World Finals. Alongside his old teammates Maru and Maury (who confirmed their renewal weeks ago), TTM will look to reclaim their throne in EMEA and reach new heights at the World Finals.
