TALON removed from VCT Pacific

CongoBat

1 day ago

Riot Games has terminated its partnership with TALON TALON Inactive Killua Tanate Teerasawad thyy Anupong Preamsak Crws Thanamethk Mahatthananuyut JitBoyS Jittana Nokngam primmie Papaphat Sriprapha , and has removed the team from VCT Pacific.

Riot cited TALON's consistent failure to provide payments to players on time as well as an "inability to demonstrate sufficient financial capacity" as the primary reason for their removal. TALON was given extensions, and chances to demonstrate improvement, but were ultimately deemed unable to meet the standards to continue as a VCT partner.

TALON released their own statement, corroborating their financial struggles as the reason for removal. As result of their removal, they will take a step back from Valorant esports for the time being.

The team that will replace TALON in VCT Pacific has not been decided yet, but Riot have selected a candidate teams from APAC to go through the competitive application process.

TALON's player roster, having been affected by their removal, have been allowed to explore other opportunities in VCT. These players include TALON's latest roster, which was:

Thanamethk "Crws" Mahatthananuyut
Tanate "Killua" Teerasawad
Anupong "thyy" Preamsak
Jittana "JitBoyS" Nokngam
Papaphat "primmie" Sriprapha
Thanachart "Surf" Rungapajaratkul

On a real note, there really isn't a better org than them in Pacific tier-2 so they are going to get the call right back up this time likely permanently, if I had a nickel everytime boom esports got saved by an org not paying players on time, I would have 2 nickels but it's still weird it happened twice

they emphasized wanting Thai representation, so either they go BOOM and pressure them to sign the TLN players, or just go for FullSense who would likely pick up at least a few TLN players

nah im trolling. But it is true that crws or someone else had to personally talk and convince primmie's parents to let him play/fly to KR to play for Talon. So i get the impression that they maybe didnt wanna let him be an esports player at first like most sane parents

The head of VCT Pacific tweeted this https://x.com/RiotJaker/status/1990655618261398015
