BOOM Esports BOOM Esports Asia-Pacific Rank #6 natz Jonathan Adiputra Shiro Hildegard Arnaldo NcSlasher Sheldon Andersen Chandra BerserX Rizkie Adla Kusuma has announced the departure of Fikri "Famouz" Zaki Hamdani.

Famouz leaves as a free agent after spending over three years with the team, with part of that time being as a stand-in during the team's 2022 APAC LCQ and Champions Istanbul campaign. The Duelist player has been on BOOM's inactive roster since the end of the team's 2025 VCT season, not competing at Pacific Ascension. In October, Famouz was unveiled as part of Team Secret's offseason roster, with the organization saying that it would "explore options for our duelist."

Since making his debut in 2021 with Morph Impact Morph Impact Inactive Fat Penguin Edward Lunacera Hanif M. OnigiRi Nico Alvanius RayK47 Ray Anugrah Putra , Famouz has been a mainstay in the Indonesian Valorant scene, suiting up for Bigetron Arctic Bigetron Arctic Inactive k1ngkappa , BOY WITH LOVE BOY WITH LOVE Inactive Flynch Vicky Rudyanto roseau Baskoro Dwi Putra Asteriskk Nanda Rizana Eeyore Kevin Gunawan Famouz Fikri Zaki Hamdani , and Persija Esports Persija Esports Inactive Asteriskk Nanda Rizana Famouz Fikri Zaki Hamdani Eeyore Kevin Gunawan Flynch Vicky Rudyanto roseau Baskoro Dwi Putra . He has primarily been a Duelist player throughout his career, with the majority of his games played on Raze and Jett. He has been a feared player throughout his career, recently logging the highest ACS in the group stage of Pacific Stage 1.

After starting league play with a 5-0 showing in the group stage, BOOM fell flat to close out the year, being eliminated two matches into the playoffs and then going 0-5 in Stage 2. In the team's seven-match losing streak in VCT, only one map was won. However, a top-eight finish in the Championship Point standings granted BOOM a chance at redemption at Pacific Ascension. After a 3-1 showing in the group stage, BOOM won its opening match of the playoffs to get one series away from securing another year in VCT, but lost 3-0 to SLT Seongnam SLT Seongnam Korea Rank #5 , winning just 22 rounds in the series. The loss sent BOOM to the lower bracket, where a rematch of last year's grand final awaited them in Nongshim RedForce Nongshim RedForce Korea Rank #1 Xross Jeonghwan (정환) Rb Goo Sang-min (구상민) Francis Kim Mu-bin (김무빈) Dambi Lee Hyuk-kyu (이혁규) Ivy Park Sung-hyeon (박성현) .
