Hello, I now have a Medium page for APAC reports where I also have published this post! Feel free to check me out there if you'd like to support my future endeavors :)
[https://medium.com/@KyotoVAL/official-f4q-to-return-to-vct-korea-stage-2-with-breakout-roster-50ea5ea64c7b]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FiveK has announced on YouTube following months of speculation that F4Q will return to the VALORANT Champions Tour as of March 28th.

Initial speculation came about with the addition of the F4Q branding to Korean amateur player, guNkorea, in January before the start of the 2022 VCT season. The player was questioned by pros such as DRX’s stax, giving a comment about the matter on stream when seeing F4Q in his name. After 2 months of teasing and comment by FiveK regarding questioning on whether F4Q would return to VCT 2022, he has finally made an official statement on social media about when to expect the return of the team.

Following their loss to NUTURN Gaming in the Asia-Pacific: Last Chance qualifier in a 2–1 set, the roster announced on Twitter that the players would go their separate ways; primarily contributed by having no sponsor to support the team alongside members looking towards new opportunities.

FiveK has not given up yet, however, on competing as F4Q. After failing to break a deal with American organization Solaris back in Masters: Berlin for a sponsorship, he has supposedly found a new sponsor, willing to support the team’s efforts in the Korean scene.

As per sources, two of the players looking to join F4Q’s new roster are amateur players Bangnan of Team T5 and Hermes of HolyMolly.

Bangnan was a former player of Lunatic-hai VALORANT and GOMA; an organization of up and coming amateur talent, while Hermes was a talent playing on amateur teams who was initially set to join On Sla2ers after outperforming players such as Chibab in trials, before ultimately setting on Bazzi as their duelist player.

guNkorea is another rumored player for F4Q, as per sources. First playing in the National ShotVal Pride tournament of November 2021, he found himself placing 2nd only to TNL Esports, in addition to playing as a 6th man for Desperado in VCT Korea: Challengers 1 in the 2022 open qualifier.

As of now, there is no plans for original players Bunny or Efina to return to the team, with both choosing to stick towards streaming for the foreseeable future.

FiveK’s plans for F4Q is to not only compete at the top level of Korean VALORANT, but also open up new talent to the scene, and potentially have organizations look into the team or individuals.

On Friday, April 1st, FiveK will confirm the members of the team. F4Q will compete in Stage 2 VCT: Korea Open Qualifiers, in the hope to make it to another international event.

If no roster changes have been made to the current members to this point, F4Q will look like, as of now:

  • fiveK [IGL]
  • Bangnan
  • Hermes
  • guNkorea [Estrella]

they had no sponsors besides some small ones but it wasn't likely enough for them all to want to play for f4q
bunny had wrist issues and wanted to focus on streaming, efina wanted to switch to streaming, zunba is going for military in june, and esperanza was still seeking professional teams

tbh I don't think so. They went much further than most of us probably expected, I expect them to pick up another player and see how things go from there

Bunny coming back would be ideal. Well rounded player all around who looked mechanically very skilled and was fragging well against top international teams, but seems unlikely tho as they wanted to focus on content creation.
