Turkish esports organization Eternal Fire has officially announced the addition of Ukrainian rifler Vladyslav "Kvem" Korol to their roster. This move partially validates earlier reports suggesting the team was pursuing both Kvem and Alexander "br0" Bro from NRG and Astralis.
The signing represents another chapter in Eternal Fire's ongoing efforts to build a competitive international lineup. After selling their successful Turkish roster to Aurora in 2025, the organization has been working to establish a new international project. Aurora themselves are now transitioning toward an international approach as well.
Kvem's 2026 performance showed promise, maintaining a 1.05 rating across 94 maps before Passion UA's campaign ended prematurely. The team failed to qualify for IEM Cologne, resulting in an early conclusion to the season for the entire roster. With most of Passion UA's starting lineup now moving on to new opportunities, Kvem finds himself part of a fresh competitive environment.
The updated Eternal Fire roster features Samet "jottAAA" Köklü on loan, Romanian player Iulian "regali" Harjău, German representative Gareth "MisteM" Ries, and newly signed Kvem. The squad operates under the guidance of coach Yiğit "yT" Özden as they work toward establishing themselves in the international Counter-Strike scene.
