DemQQ Joins Eternal Fire in CS2: Full Roster Confirmed After International Rebuild

Ukrainian rifler Sergiy “DemQQ” Demchenko has officially joined Eternal Fire, completing the organization’s long-anticipated international rebuild in Counter-Strike 2. The signing finalizes Eternal Fire’s new five-man lineup and marks another major step away from their former all-Turkish roster.

Eternal Fire officially confirm DemQQ transfer

After several days of rumors in Turkish media, Eternal Fire confirmed DemQQ as their newest player. The 24-year-old joins the team after spending several months on the bench and will officially enter the starting lineup in early February.

According to team representatives, Eternal Fire will continue playing with lugseN until February 4, after which DemQQ will take over his position in the active roster.

Eternal Fire CS2 roster (2026)

The confirmed Eternal Fire lineup is now:

Calyx

EMSTAR

Woro2k

rigoN

DemQQ

This roster reflects Eternal Fire’s full transition into an international CS2 project, combining Turkish leadership with experienced European firepower.

Why Eternal Fire signed DemQQ

DemQQ is best known for his time with Monte, where he competed at tier-one events and gained Major-level experience. His individual consistency and structured rifling style make him a logical fit for Eternal Fire’s new system.

A key factor behind the signing is existing synergy with Woro2k. The two players previously competed together, which significantly lowers the adaptation risk during the early phase of the rebuild.

Potential risks

DemQQ had limited official match practice in late 2025 after being removed from Passion UA’s active lineup. While his experience is unquestioned, his current form will be closely watched once he returns to regular tier-one competition.

How this move fits Eternal Fire’s rebuild strategy

DemQQ’s arrival is the final step in a multi-stage rebuild. Prior to this signing, Eternal Fire:

Benched or released imoRR

Moved on from jresy

Temporarily used lugseN as a stand-in

Added Woro2k and rigoN to establish an international core

The organization clearly prioritized experience, firepower, and international adaptability over maintaining a purely regional identity.

Player reactions and context

Earlier during the rumor phase, Woro2k publicly denied having signed a contract, emphasizing that negotiations were still ongoing. After his official move, he later described joining Eternal Fire as a new chapter and highlighted the strength of the organization’s fanbase and ambitions.

Eternal Fire’s official announcement welcoming DemQQ described him as the “final missing piece”, underlining that the roster is now considered complete heading into upcoming CS2 tournaments.

What this means for Eternal Fire in CS2

With DemQQ joining the lineup, Eternal Fire now field a roster capable of:

Competing consistently at tier-one and high tier-two CS2 events

Challenging international opponents rather than regional qualifiers

Building long-term structure instead of short-term fixes

The real test will come once DemQQ debuts officially after February 4, when Eternal Fire’s full lineup finally sees match action together.

Final verdict

DemQQ’s signing is not just a transfer — it is the conclusion of Eternal Fire’s international rebuild. If early synergy with Woro2k translates into server results, Eternal Fire could quickly re-establish themselves as a stable playoff contender in the CS2 era.
