jottAAA returns to Eternal Fire on a loan deal

Samet “jottAAA” Köklü has officially joined Eternal Fire on a temporary loan from Aurora, as confirmed by HLTV. The move marks a return to the organization where the Turkish rifler previously spent multiple stints during his career.

According to HLTV, this transfer is not a finalized roster change, but rather a trial-based loan, with Eternal Fire evaluating jottAAA as a potential replacement for Buğra “Calyx” Arkın or Emrecan “EMSTAR” Çalışkan before locking in their long-term lineup.

Why Eternal Fire signed jottAAA: key competitive reasons

1. Flexible solution for an unfinished roster

Eternal Fire openly stated that the team is still testing options. jottAAA is being evaluated in multiple roles, giving the coaching staff flexibility before committing to a permanent fifth player.

2. Recent benching at Aurora created an opportunity

jottAAA was moved to the bench by Aurora during the off-season, when the team added Caner “soulfly” Kesici. The loan allows him to return to active competition immediately instead of remaining inactive.

3. Proven tier-one experience

While playing for Aurora, jottAAA posted a 1.00 HLTV rating across 138 maps, often in demanding support and utility-heavy roles. His experience at international events is one of the main reasons Eternal Fire opted for a short-term trial rather than a rookie pickup.

Confirmed quotes and historical context

Eternal Fire’s coaching staff has previously spoken positively about jottAAA’s mentality and communication. In a past HLTV interview, coach Sezgin “Fabre” Kalaycı highlighted his impact inside the team environment:

“He’s a very positive player. He brings us very good communication and positive energy.”

jottAAA himself has also commented on his earlier time in the lineup alongside XANTARES, emphasizing how naturally he fit into the system:

“I don’t need to do anything when XANTARES is on fire… XANTARES is killing everyone, brother.”

All quotes above originate from verified HLTV interviews and official statements.
