FULL SENSE FULL SENSE Asia-Pacific Rank #5 JohnOlsen Chanawin Nakchain Leviathan Thanyathon Nakmee aLerT Wattanachok Yingnakorn Potter Sutthichai Promsrikaew Sushiboys Panyawat Subsiriroj might lack the name recognition or international pedigree of their Champions peers, having made their way from the APAC Last Chance Qualifier. But their demeanor shouldn't bait the rest of the field into sleeping on them — they're considered one of the top teams in Southeast Asia and a pinnacle of roster stability. As they debut in Berlin, the tide of SEA could be the last thing the international field expects in Champions.
FULL SENSE began the Valorant Champions Tour as NG.Black NG.Black Inactive Zelyn Theethawat Taechavitidkhul SuperBusS Nattawat Yoosawat SantaGolf Chanitpak Suwanaprateep LAMMYSNAX Elamrahim Khanpathan JohnOlsen Chanawin Nakchain and headed off with a relatively good start, their most notable achievements including a win in Stage 1 Challengers 2 in Thailand.
In mid-April, the team was signed by their current organization, FULL SENSE, and moved Nattawat "SuperBusS" Yoosawat to a substitute role. They also brought in Kititkawin "PTC" Rattanasukol from Made in Thailand Made in Thailand Asia-Pacific Rank #1 Kadoom Kantapong Kingthong Killua Tanate Teerasawad cgrs Patiphan Porsi Laz Kittikawin Jirawatkakan seph1roth Chinnakrit Phoojaroen , who had previously played with Chanawin "JohnOlsen" Nakchain in CSGO.
Following their signing, they continued to impress, winning Challengers 2 Thailand, and most notably, coming very close to qualifying for Masters: Reykjavik in the SEA Challengers Finals, where they lost to X10 Esports in the finals.
Around the end of Stage 2, they made some changes to their roster, bringing in Sattawut "Leaf" Reathong as a coach, moving SuperBusS up to the active roster, and making Zelyn an analyst.
In Stage 3, they once again won Challengers 2 Thailand and eventually placed fourth in the Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs. After the end of Stage 3, they had accumulated enough circuit points in SEA to enter the Last Chance Qualifier. Before the LCQ, Leaf had also parted ways with the team.
The LCQ was their chance to prove that they weren't a bridesmaid of their region, and they did so by fighting their way through the upper bracket, defeating REJECT REJECT Japan Rank #12 JaXe BNN take IceBear and NUTURN NUTURN Inactive . In the upper bracket final, they were sent to the lower bracket by NORTHEPTION NORTHEPTION Japan Rank #18 , but they came back to rematch them after defeating DAMWON Gaming DAMWON Gaming Inactive Lakia Kim Jong-min (김종민) allow Park Sang-wook (박상욱) exy Park Geun-cheol (박근철) Estrella Park Gun (박건) Esperanza Jeong Jin-cheol (정진철) in the lower bracket final.
The grand final proved to be incredibly close. NORTHEPTION took the first map on Ascent, but then FULL SENSE won the second map on Icebox. The third map on Bind went to a monster quintuple overtime that ended in NORTHEPTION's favor, but FULL SENSE plowed ahead on Split to tie the series and force the decider, Haven.
Despite ending the first half on the map with a 7-5 disadvantage, they completely plowed ahead with their offense and would go on to string seven rounds in a row to close the series and punch their ticket to Berlin.
Now in the heart of Germany, FULL SENSE will be making their international debut against the best of the best, starting with Vision Strikers Vision Strikers Inactive stax Kim Gu-taek (김구택) Rb Goo Sang-min (구상민) Zest Kim Ki-seok (김기석) BuZz Yu Byung-chul (유병철) MaKo Kim Myeong-gwan (김명관) in their first match in the group stage.

Their future in Champions is murky, but there's a potential chance others might not make sense of their hidden potential in the tournament.
