ZETA DIVISION has announced the departure of VALORANT players Hikaru ‘CLZ’ Mizutani and Kim ‘TenTen’ Tae-young.
The news comes roughly a month after both athletes began exploring other options for the 2026 season as restricted agents.
Previously a professional Fortnite player, CLZ transitioned to VALORANT esports in 2020, where he won several Challengers Japan competitions. In October last year, the Japanese player signed with ZETA ahead of the 2025 VCT Pacific season.
“Thank you very much to my teammates, staff, and fans who have made their voices heard at all times,” shared CLZ in a press release.
