What happened
Full Sense, the Thailand-based Valorant organization, announced the signing of FrosT from Global Esports on Friday morning UTC. CryptoBriefing was first to tie the roster move to activity on crypto prediction markets, noting that odds on VCT Pacific 2026 title outcomes shifted within an hour of the announcement. Global Esports, the Indian organization that had held FrosT's rights, has not yet published a departure statement at the time of writing.
The deal reshapes the top of the VCT Pacific competitive table heading into the next split. FrosT brings a track record from a Global Esports squad that made deep VCT runs, and Full Sense has been rebuilding since its own core departures in late 2025. That combination is the reason the news traveled fast on prediction venues.
Why it matters
Crypto prediction markets have quietly become one of the fastest-moving venues for esports information flow. Platforms like Polymarket and Azuro have listed VCT and League of Legends outcome markets for the better part of a year, and traders there tend to reprice roster news minutes before centralized sportsbooks post updated lines. The FrosT move is a textbook case.
It also matters because it lands in the middle of a broader trend: esports-linked prediction volume on decentralized venues has been climbing month over month through 2026, per data cited in the CryptoBriefing report. Roster news is now a market-moving event class in its own right, not just a fan-site headline. For crypto-native bettors, the signal is that competitive edge is available to whoever reads Thai and Korean scene reporting closest to source.
