Shopify deployed ion as its primary Duelist player throughout Stage 1, leading the way as the team's entry, with most of his reps on Waylay, Neon, and the occasional map on Raze. With ion, Shopify finished the Swiss Stage at 4-2, advancing to the playoffs with plenty of momentum.

The squad was picked up by ENVY midway through NA Stage 1 as part of the org's return to Valorant. Following Stage 1, back-to-back trophy-lifting runs in Stage 2 and Stage 3 saw the team qualify for Americas Ascension, where the team won the event to ascend into VCT for 2026. On ENVY, ion2x primarily played the Controller role, known for his aggressive and off-tempo approach.

Replacing ion will be Smoke, who defeated him in the Stage 1 grand final as a part of QoR. Since making his professional debut in 2022, Smoke has competed in NSG, Knights, and FunHaver tournaments. He joined QoR ahead of the 2026 season, set to get his first taste of the Challengers scene after only getting as far as the open qualifiers and the LCQ in the past. While he was a late arrival to the team, missing the first match of the Swiss Stage, Smoke's impact was immediate. As the team's primary and often solo Duelist player, Smoke played a pivotal role in QoR bouncing back from an upper final defeat to SRB to grinding out a five-map win over SaD Esports SaD Esports North America Rank #12 welyy stellar Brenden McGrath payne zaj in the Lower Final and then getting revenge on SRB in three maps, taking home the Stage 1 title.

The 2009-born ion will not turn 18 until the 2027 season, rendering him ineligible to play in VCT. While he leaves the SRB roster and rejoins ENVY, he will not be able to play this year.

The move completes Shopify's roster ahead of Stage 2, and adds one to ENVY's bench.
