Rumors: ComeBack to join Gentle Mates VALORANT roster

Young and talented player Berkcan "ComeBack" Şentürk from BBL PCIFIC may be joining the Gentle Mates VALORANT roster, according to a report by Sheep Esports.

Sources claim that Berkcan "ComeBack" Şentürk and Gentle Mates have reached a verbal agreement regarding his move to the team’s main VALORANT lineup. ComeBack is considered one of the brightest stars of VALORANT Challengers Türkiye — and arguably the entire tier-2 scene — regularly earning MVP honors at the tournaments he attends. In 2025 alone, he and BBL PCIFIC have won three consecutive titles:

VALORANT Challengers 2025 Türkiye: Birlik Kickoff Split
VALORANT Challengers 2025 EMEA: Stage 1
VALORANT Challengers 2025 Türkiye: Birlik Stage 2

His average ACS over the last 15 matches is 242 — well above the ~200 average for players at this level.

Gentle Mates finished 11–12th at VCT 2025: EMEA Stage 1. Since the team is not a fully partnered VCT franchise, continued underperformance could risk their future in tier-1. The addition of ComeBack could provide the firepower needed to elevate the roster — particularly ahead of the upcoming Esports World Cup 2025 qualifiers and Stage 2.
