Eternal Fire sign rigoN and Woro2k – full roster update, player quotes & analysis (CS2)

Eternal Fire have officially announced the signings of rigoN and Woro2k, confirming the first concrete steps of their latest roster rebuild in Counter-Strike 2. The move follows the recent benching of three players and signals a renewed push toward an international lineup.

This article breaks down the transfer in full, adds all relevant connected news, and compiles verified quotes and context from trusted sources such as HLTV and official team statements.

Eternal Fire roster changes: what happened?

Earlier this week, Eternal Fire benched imoRR, jresy, and lugseN, leaving Calyx and EMSTAR as the only remaining active players. Just days later, the organization filled the open spots by signing rigoN and Woro2k, confirming that this was not a temporary adjustment but a full rebuild phase.

Notably, this is another step away from a purely Turkish roster, continuing Eternal Fire’s recent trend of experimenting with international talent.

Why rigoN to Eternal Fire makes sense

rigoN joins Eternal Fire after most recently playing for ENCE. During the second half of 2025, he averaged a 0.98 rating and was part of the roster that won Thunderpick World Championship European Series 2.

His availability was confirmed when ENCE announced that his contract had been terminated by mutual agreement as part of their own rebuild ahead of the 2026 season. This made rigoN one of the more experienced free agents on the market at the start of the year.

Woro2k joins Eternal Fire as main AWPer

Woro2k arrives after a long period of instability following his departure from Monte in mid-2024. Since then, he has played for several lineups, including DRILLAS and Passion UA, while also gaining experience at higher-tier events earlier in his career.

Eternal Fire announced the signing with a characteristically playful post, welcoming the Ukrainian AWPer as a core piece of the new roster.

Eternal Fire’s long rebuild cycle

Eternal Fire have been searching for stability since April 2025, when their previous flagship roster was signed wholesale by Aurora. Since then, multiple lineups have been tested, with varying degrees of success.

In November 2025, the organization publicly stated its ambition to remain competitive internationally while still representing Turkish Counter-Strike—a balance that remains a challenge with each new iteration.

rigoN became available due to ENCE’s 2026 rebuild, making his transfer a timing-based opportunity rather than a surprise exit.

Woro2k, benched by Monte in July 2024, has now secured his clearest long-term project since leaving the organization.
