Vatira quoted the announcement minutes later: "So happy to join Gentle Mates alongside zen and Atow". Atow also quoted it: "so happy to join Gentle Mates". zen had not posted a welcome reply at the time of writing.

The graphic also points to an announcement video during a keynote on 25 November 2026. Destinations for the previous Gentle Mates lineup are not part of today's post.

This confirms a move that had circulated as a rumor for weeks (our transfer dispute piece). Gentle Mates parted ways with nass, Oski, Archie and coach Snaski on October 26 (our coverage). Vatira and Atow left Karmine Corp on October 27 (our piece). zen left Vitality on October 23 (our short).

Gentle Mates remains a Club Championship partner. The Club Kick-Off in London runs from December 9 to 13.
