Spin set to part ways with Team Secret following single APAC stage

In another regional shake-up, Peter "Spin" Bradford has departed Team Secret after just one stage with the Asia-Pacific VALORANT roster, according to reports by VLR.gg. Spin will now weigh up his options ahead of the 2027 season, while Team Secret faces yet another round of key roster decisions after what was a brief and rather inconclusive stint together.

Team Secret recently posted a message to their followers on X, and while it recognized that the org has had its ups and downs recently, it was met with a wide backlash from fans who want to see more from the org:

Team Secret VALORANT: 2021 'til infinity! 🤍

A journey of ups and downs but one thing remained true through it all: our players and staff always gave 100%.

Thank you for sharing this journey with us. More news coming soon. pic.twitter.com/G3t41ZhbfK

What this means for Spin's future

As a free agent exploring his options, Spin, who only joined Team Secret in July, joins several other players recently released across the region.

Multiple roster moves are indeed happening simultaneously across Asia-Pacific, with Team Secret's IGL Styron also free to consider new orgs. The changes suggest that Team Secret is planning a complete refurb, which is kinda what a lot of fans see as the only way they can move forward. A full reset is perhaps needed for an org that earlier this year announced a hiatus from Dota 2.

Also across the region, Rex Regum Qeon's head coach Jovi and Enterprise Esports' MAGNUM are currently exploring the market.

Team Secret's broader VALORANT picture

Catch-up on a pre-Spin Team Secret VALORANT performance earlier this year

Team Secret has been part of the VALORANT competitive scene since 2021, and while the org's message on X admits there have been some lows, it may not be bidding its farewell to VALORANT just yet. The "more news coming soon" line suggests the org is actively reshaping rather than stepping back entirely.

If Team Secret is rebuilding its roster rather than winding down, parting ways with Spin could be more of a mutual reset than a forced exit. Either way, he’ll head into the transfer window with Stage 2 experience in Asia-Pacific on his resume, even if a single stage is less runway than most players would want heading into contract talks.

Writer's take

One stage doesn’t really give an org enough time to assess whether a player fits their system. From the outside looking in, Spin's situation looks more like a roster experiment that went wrong rather than a clear-cut performance failure. Sometimes, these things happen. Players and orgs simply don’t fit together. His options in the 2027 market, though, will depend heavily on whether another APAC team has seen enough from him to suggest he deserves another go.

More details on Spin's next destination and Team Secret's revised VALORANT lineup are expected as the offseason roster period continues into the coming weeks.
