Nikita “Derke” Simitev is a Finnish-Russian professional VALORANT player who is currently playing for Vitality. He is a former Counter-Strike: Global Offensive professional where he mostly played in second and third tier tournaments with KOVA Esports, before transitioning to VALORANT. He permanently switched to VALORANT in February of 2021.
Derke plays VALORANT at 400 DPI with 0.74 in-game sensitivity — an eDPI of 296.00, roughly 44.1 cm per 360°. That puts him in the 79 percentile of the professional distribution we track. His current mouse is the Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 White. He is the only player here with two Masters titles from a single season, winning LOCK//IN São Paulo and Masters Tokyo in 2023 with Fnatic before joining Team Vitality in late 2024 — proof that the setup matters less than the years of aim training behind it.
Fnatic's Finnish-Russian star duelist who headlined their 2023 double-title era and now leads Vitality's EMEA charge
Nikita 'Derke' Sirmitev is a Finnish-Russian duelist who rose through CrowCrowd before becoming the face of Fnatic's dominant 2023 core. He won LOCK//IN São Paulo and Masters Tokyo in 2023, then joined Team Vitality in late 2024 as their primary entry fragger.

We store this share code alongside the settings above and re-check that the two agree. Last verified September 14, 2026. Share codes change — if this one imports a crosshair that looks different, the player has changed it since.
For settings readers, Derke is the benchmark EMEA duelist — his Jett and Neon entry stats define the region's aggressive carry archetype.
400 DPI with 0.74 sens = 296 eDPI (44.1 cm/360, 79th percentile). Half the pros we track run 800; running at 400 keeps his mouse at the same physical speed but with CS-era smoothing he grew up on after KOVA in European CS:GO.
The verified code is listed above — outline on, inner length 4, thickness 1: an extended crosshair that doubles as a pre-aim reference at mid-range duel distances.
VCT LOCK//IN São Paulo and VCT Masters Tokyo with Fnatic — the first roster ever to take both of that season's internationals, the “golden double” that made him Fnatic's franchise duelist.
He anchors Vitality alongside Chronicle (reunited from Fnatic) and IGL Jamppi per our September 2026 roster check — the closest thing EMEA fielded to a super-team that year.
He takes fewer risky first-duels than a TenZ or aspas for the same kill output: his 44 cm/360 sits below the spike-heavy duelists, and his crosshair (white inner lines, thickness 1) is a holding instrument, not a entry tool.
Both labels appear for a reason — Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev (born February 6, 2003) grew up in the Finnish scene and holds Finnish-Russian background; he entered VALORANT from KOVA's CS:GO tier-2 roster in February 2021.
A white Logitech G Pro X Superlight 2 (the 86-of-656 mainstream shell) on a Philips Evnia 25" — the smallest monitor in this batch and a deliberate choice for a 400-DPI, wrist-low style.
