GIANTX brings in CyvOph and globeX for Monsters Reloaded 2026

GIANTX has signed Clement “CyvOph” Millard and Michail “globeX” Kostylew ahead of the Monsters Reloaded Main Event. The offline LAN will feature a prize pool just under $40,000. The Closed Qualifier Playoffs are already in progress, with Turkish Challengers teams Fire Flux Esports and Misa Esports, alongside VCT sides BBL Esports and PCIFIC Esports, among the participants.

CyvOph joins after announcing his free agency last month. He finished the 2026 season with Natus Vincere, replacing Filu during a midseason rebuild before departing after one split. Earlier, he stood in for Veqaj at FNATIC, playing six matches across VCT EMEA and the EWC Qualifiers. He was also absent for NAVI’s final match after stepping away because of family issues.

globeX last represented Barça eSports and has pursued a VCT opportunity since debuting in 2023. He has also played for Chipi Chapa’s, 3BL Esports and KOI Fénix, appearing for four teams across five events after Barça’s season ended. Known as one of the leading Duelists in the EMEA Challengers scene, he is expected to fill that role at GIANTX. The roster includes Flickless, westside and ara, with Hehnal as manager and pipsoN, wayLander and Mew on the coaching staff.

ColdMath take

GIANTX enters Monsters Reloaded with two new players and a revised competitive core. globeX adds a Duelist option shaped by Challengers experience, while CyvOph brings recent VCT EMEA and international-qualifier exposure. The team’s immediate test will be integrating both additions before the LAN Main Event.

The tournament will also offer a useful measure of GIANTX’s level against teams from the Challengers and VCT ecosystems, with qualification still unfolding.
