77even reportedly set to join FunPlus Phoenix for 2027

FunPlus Phoenix is reportedly interested in signing Richard "77even" Venskevychius ahead of the 2027 VALORANT season.

According to Sheep Esports, the Chinese organization is targeting the European duelist as it begins rebuilding following a disappointing 2026 campaign.

77even currently represents Pixel Lumina and competed for several European Challengers teams during the 2026 season.

He has averaged 228 ACS across his last 15 matches.

FPX begin offseason rebuild

FunPlus Phoenix struggled throughout the 2026 season and failed to qualify for Masters, the Esports World Cup, or VALORANT Champions.

Their final major event was VCT China Stage 2, where the team finished 11th–12th and lost its remaining chance of reaching Champions Shanghai.

FPX subsequently parted ways with Blendi "kovaQ" Kovaci following an inappropriate comment made during a livestream.

The organization's current roster includes AAAAY , Setrod , coconut , and Xlele .

77even could become the first addition to the lineup as FPX prepares for the 2027 competitive season.
