Following an early elimination in open qualifiers for VCT Japan, Suggest is now looking to return to Korea, according to sources.
Seo “Suggest” Jae-young, a member of DetonatioN Gaming White’s VALORANT roster is now seeking new opportunities for Stage 2 of the VCT.
Joining the Japanese organization in November of 2021 after the disband of NUTURN Gaming, he was recruited alongside former Korean IGL of MVP:PK CSGO, HSK, who moved to VALORANT after the end of his military service. The other members of the roster included the standing roster of DetonatioN’s PUBG team, alongside a 6th man in ex-Feeling player Killer to round out the roster.
Yet, unfortunately, the team failed to reach initial expectations with the notable players under their belt, suffering 0–2 eliminations in open qualifiers to IGZIST and Reignite, despite the strong numbers put up by Suggest and HSK.
In March, DetonatioN placed a recruitment post on Twitter for its VALORANT team; looking for players who could fill the Duelist & Flex role, which Suggest played during Stage 1 qualifiers. Although the organization stated soon after that this would not be involving Suggest or HSK, rumors from the community held firm in thoughts that the two Koreans would leave the team.
Despite this statement, sources can confirm an interest by Suggest in wanting to return to Korea, however HSK’s future on DetonatioN is unknown as of now.
As of recent confirmation, Suggest has had at least three organizations interested in signing him; yet refused all three offers. It is unknown which orgs have taken an interest in him as of now. Yet, it is likely he will return to Korea for Stage 2 of the VCT.
If Suggest departs the team, the Japanese roster will consist of:
- Killer
- Kim “HSK” Hae-seong 👑
- Tomonori “SSeeS” Okimura
- Hirotaka “Melofovia” Okazaki
