According to sources close to Sheep Esports, coach Thanamethk “Crws” Mahatthananuyut will replace Sutat “thyy” Preamsak in FULL SENSE’s starting lineup for the upcoming 2026 VALORANT season. Until now, thyy had held a starting position within the roster before being moved to the bench as part of this reshuffle decided at the end of Pacific Kickoff. Thotsaphon “cbbk” Suphatthanaphalaphon will also replace the vacant coaching position left by Crws.
For Crws, the move would represent a return to a full-time playing role after several years spent at the highest level in the Pacific with TALON Esports. A former mainstay of X10 and later XERXIA, he has built a substantial résumé across Pacific and the international stage. He has made repeated appearances in partnered leagues and at global events, including Champions 2024 with TALON. He then led FULL SENSE as coach at the beginning of 2026. By integrating him directly into the starting five, FULL SENSE would be backing a profile already accustomed to top-tier competition in an effort to stabilize its roster from the outset of league play.
More experience for FULL SENSE
This change comes as FULL SENSE has just begun a new chapter in the VCT Pacific, after several years competing in Challengers and across the broader Asian scene. The Thai organization, which had already signed the majority of TALON’s former roster and took their place in the league following their exclusion, now appears to be betting on experience.
Thyy, who primarily played as a Duelist during the first segment of the year, did not seem to find much success, often ranking near the bottom across several statistical categories. Not particularly used to this role during his previous tenure, Crws is unlikely to take it on and should instead make way for another player.
At Kickoff, FS first defeated ZETA DIVISION before taking down DRX, who had finished in the Top 3 at Champions Paris 2025. The Thai organization then fell to Nongshim RedForce, collapsed against DetonatioN FocusMe in the middle bracket, and was ultimately eliminated by a vengeful DRX in the lower bracket, ending their run with a Top 7–8 finish.
