FULL SENSE Crws has played many roles in VCT Pacific: esports fans have watched him go from player to coach to team captain. Now, the pro is retiring and entiring a “new chapter.” Here’s a recap.
Thanamethk “Crws” Mahatthananuyut has been active in the VCT Pacific circuit since VALORANT launched. Originally a pro player (notably spending time on Talon Esports), he added a coaching role for FULL SENSE to his resume in 2025. Crws has been a core part of the Thai team, whether actively playing in the arena or planning strategies from the sideline. Throughout 2026, he has participated actively in VCT Pacific Stage 1 and Stage 2 as a Controller main and the team’s IGL and captain.
Crws’ career accomplishments include participation in three Champions events, four Masters tournaments, and five VCT Pacific seasons.
On August 22, 2026, Crws announced his retirement from competitive VALORANT. The FULL SENSE member wrote in a final message:
“Thank you for the amazing 6 years [Riot Games]. Nothing could ever explain how much my life has changed. Thank you everyone for supporting. My time has come. Thanks to all my amazing colleagues, family, and friends that I’ve made along the way. New chapter ahead. See y’all around!“
FULL SENSE replied with a heart, showing support. Crws also updated his bio, referring to himself as an “Ex-professional VALORANT player.” His retirement leaves JitboyS, killua, Primmie, seph1roth, and Leviathan as FULL SENSE’s remaining core members.
Crws’ involvement in the VALORANT scene extended into the overall VCT Pacific circuit, and many key Pacific region figures reacted to his departure. The official VCT Pacific X account called him “a player, a leader, a coach, and always one of our favorite dancers” and stated:
“His journey in VCT Pacific has been one of a kind. What a career. Thank you for everything, Crws.”
The VCT Pacific team also wrote, “We’ll miss having you around.”
Crws’ decision to retire arrives after FULL SENSE’s 2026 VCT Pacific Stage 2 elimination. The team fell out of the upper bracket after a loss to T1. A week later, the org faced final elimination when Onside Gaming dealt a 2-0 defeat in the lower bracket. This halted a potential pathway to Champions, officially ending FULL SENSE’s VCT season. The roster will likely reshuffle with the aim to return stronger next year.
