According to sources close to Sheep Esports, Povilas "roxie" Krivelis has reached a verbal agreement with Galions to join their VALORANT roster for the 2026 Challengers France season. The 23-year-old Lithuanian is expected to assume primary in-game leadership duties for the French organization’s first campaign in the league, with Galions set to replace Karmine Corp Blue Stars in VCL France, as previously reported by Sheep Esports.

roxie arrives after a full year in VALORANT Challengers France with Team Valiant, sharing the server with players such as Ilya "Anq" Matyash and Yaroslav "Jady" Nikolaev across the Splits 2 and 3. With Valiant, he lifted the 2025 Split 2 trophy, beating KC Blue Stars 3–0 in the grand final and securing qualification to Challengers EMEA. He then followed up with a third-place finish in Split 3, where Valiant topped Group A and once again defeated KCBS in playoffs.

An ambitious French project

Galions enter VALORANT after a breakout 2025 on League of Legends, where the organization, born from the merger between Team GO and the project led by French streamer Maxime "Sixen" Tchoroukian, reached the quarterfinals of the EMEA Masters Summer. The French club will inherit the VCL France slot, which was previously occupied by Karmine Corp Blue Stars. Following the recruitment of Roxie and Adil "elemeNt" Maufroid, they will continue building their roster.

They join Joblife as one of the few organizations competing simultaneously in both of Riot Games' flagship French leagues. In 2025, the VALORANT Challengers France league sent Joblife and Mandatory to Ascension after Joblife claimed its fourth national title with a 3–0 sweep over Mandatory in the Stage 3 grand final, setting a high competitive bar for any newcomer.
