looks like Frosty got swapped to the Academy team with Exalt being brought back into the main roster

yo

Hopefully C9 sticks to these roles

where’s Exalt at?

Likely the first to fall to franchising. Starting to feel like Riot is on the knifes edge of killing the tier 1.5 / tier 2 valorant scene in NA. So many insane players will likely never make it to the biggest stages following this year of VCT unless they have some serious plans for allowing non franchised rosters to compete against the top dogs. Hope the LG boys do well this stage and prove they could be dangerous going into LCQ/next year. Big sadge :(

wyatt rivers stocks just went through the roof

seems like Penny is going cold again, unfortunate :(

I love Rawkus but i’m skeptical that this is the structure that would allow Sentinels to bounce back from their slump. Hope they announce they’re bootcamping together or something in the coming weeks.

Even if FaZe don't qualify this time around, you can't argue that the Babybay/Dicey duo doesn't farm... Hope this roster does well

Hope he finds a team he has better synergy with, really liked his play during stage 3 but clearly there were deeper issues with chemistry on the team.

Paper Rex played well, ggs. Good lan experience for the Guard boys, hopefully they keep the same 5 and come back next stage stronger than ever.

anyone who watches t2 events knows what’s up, great pickups. Hope they mesh well together, curious what Bang will ultimately end up playing for them. Also praying Ethan doesn’t go back to CS or something following this, I would really love to see him expand his agent pool, dude can be a menace with the right structure.

Guard 2-1 Optic

this seeding putting two NA teams against each other first round of playoffs is crazy boring tho, even if it’s a rematch

Dude deserves a good roster. Hope all works out for him, he stepped up big.

I’ve had my questions about Bonecold and his agent pool in the past but going into the current patch and Brim/Omen coming back into the overall meta, I thought he was going to benefit greatly, despite the situation with Zeek (hope he’s doing better btw). Really expected Kiles to be the one to get cut coming into Challengers 2, like a Sentinel player is never expected to put up crazy numbers or anything but his play felt very underwhelming beyond K/D for this entire stage. Idk how to feel about this move tbh. Maybe internal issues?

mfs been doubting hard frfr, guard played fantastic.

Chances of 100T making it to playoffs after that are unlikely, but all this tells me is that Bang NEEDS to find a permanent home. Feels like he's been added to rosters with way too many problems and ultimately it looks bad on him when he clearly isn't the issue. Not sure what team needs a flex right now but I'm so excited to see where Bang ends up going into Stage 2.

happy zest is back but if they ain’t playing lakia consistently again i’m gonna cry
