Immortals VALORANT truo – Parting Ways After a Short Time

Posted on by Gabriel Sciberras

With multiple regional Challenger Stage 3 events concluding, some teams simply won’t be making it to Berlin. Indeed, such an unfortunate turn of events usually results in roster changes. Here’s one concerning Immortals VALORANT truo – read on to learn more!

Immortals VALORANT truo – Big Changes

This change has taken the NA scene by surprise simply due to how recently the young player was signed. Accordingly, Robert “truo” Pham has only been on the roster since 30th June.

Sadly, since joining the player hasn’t been able to help convert wins for this team. Due to this, especially after failing to qualify for the Stage 3 Regional event, the team started playing with Daniel “Rossy” Abedrabbo instead.

After seeing better results, as they now head into the Nerd Street Gamers Summer Championship, it seems they plan to cut loose ends and let “truo” go.

Within the community, many have commented on the lack of success due to the overlapping roles within the Immortals team. Bearing this in mind, the youngster has come out publically to say that he’d like a new team as a duelist:

Once again, I’m thankful for the opportunity they have given me. I truly believe in myself and still have everything to prove. I’m looking for a new team (pref duelist).

We’ll be keeping an eye on the Immortals roster in the days to come.

Posted on by Gabriel Sciberras

With the Stage 3 Regional Playoffs concluding for most VALORANT regions, some roster simply didn’t make it to the larger events. Indeed, this results in changes to try and shuffle a team up. Accordingly, the news behind Cloud9 Blue signs vanity falls just in line.

Yet, in this case it’s rather peculiar. Why? Accordingly, it’s because Cloud9 Blue are signing yet another player to make a 7 man roster – Antony “vanity” Malaspina.

Signed from the Version1 roster, the youngster hasn’t been able to drag his former team to victory, with the best result being a second place finish at the VCT 2021 NA Stage 2 Challengers Finals.

However, with his verified level of talent, his introduction to the team looks to reunite some old chemistry.

Indeed, by rejoining the likes of “leaf” and “Xeppaa” the roster has three of the former Chaos “CS:GO” roster. Accordingly these old ties could help lift this team up.

Speaking of which, Cloud9 Blue are still on their journey of finding their first major win of the season, witht he following record so far:

  • 3rd @ VCT 2021: NA Stage 2 Challengers Finals
  • 2nd @ VCT 2021: NA Stage 2 Challengers 2

They’ve been close, but not close enough. Perhaps this roster can now be more successful in the future.

Known for his unique playstyle and his accurate shot, the youngster is no joke. Over at Andbox he’s constantly been viewed as one of the best players on the roster, being vital to whenever the team make it far such as at the VCT NA Stage 2 Challengers.

Accordingly, a new player means a change over at Team Envy. Indeed, it’s also public that Anthony “mummAy” DiPaolo will be taking a step back into the inactive roster.

Bearing this in mind, the roster has a few days until the VCT 2021 North America Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs event kicks off. Here is a potential opportunity for this new roster to exhibit its form. However, of course, this roster may need more time to form a more cohesive unit.

Andbox jcStani Part Ways – Still Building a VALORANT Roster

Posted on by Gabriel Sciberras

As an esports organization looks to build the perfect roster, there are some tough decisions to take. Accordingly, this is no surprise after being left out of practice for Andbox. Indeed, Andbox JcStani parting ways has been official. Read on to learn more!

Andbox JcStani – A Mutual Move

Ever since signing with Andbox VALORANT, Noah “jcStani” Smith hasn’t been able to make anything hapen. Accordingly, here are the two main placements since the signing:

  • VCT 2021 NA Stage 3 Challengers 2 Open Qualifier – 9-16th
  • VCT 2021 NA Stage 2 Challengers Finals – 7-8th

As you can tell, change has been on the menu for a while now. Starting with “seb” in July, the organization is now dropping “jcStani”.

Do note that this move is mutual, likely both parties knowing that success together in the future is likely. Here are some words from the player himself:

My time with Andbox was brief but I appreciate the opportunity and the support provided by the organization. There were some creative differences over the last couple months in how we wanted to approach things and this parting is for the best.

Before selecting a team in June, I really believed in the potential of this ABX squad and thought it was my best opportunity to win at the time. I still think that our roster had some insane talent and I have no regrets with how I picked my team

Posted on by Gabriel Sciberras

This next event has been a long time coming. Indeed, we’ve offered coverage for both Qualifier events but now it’s finally here. Accordingly, feel free to read on for all the viewership details with regards to the VCT NA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs next week!

Event Background

With regards to event background, this event is one of many. For those unaware, Riot Games has devised a framework for competitive VALORANT in which multiple regional events will build up to one Masters event. Accordingly, the next major is the Stage 3 Masters Berlin in September.

Bearing this in mind, this event is an opportunity for the 8 best competing North American VALORANT squads to earn the 3 seeds available for this Masters Berlin event. Beyond this, $100,000 are also up for grabs at this online event.

The following are the 8 competing teams fighting for the stakes from 11th August to 15th:

  • Sentinels
  • XSET
  • 100 Thieves
  • Team Envy
  • TSM
  • FaZe Clan
  • Luminosity Gaming
  • Rise

Half of the competitors qualified through Challengers 1 Qualifier and the remaining 4, through Challengers 2 this past weekend.

For those that don’t make it to Masters Berlin, there are also VCT Circuit Points to earn.

Format

Across the five days of competition, the format will involve the classic double-elimination bracket we see so frequently in esports. From the start, all 8 teams will kick off within the Winner’s Bracket as determined through random seeding. Although random, do note that for each first game, a Challengers 1 team faces a Challengers 2 team.

Take a look at the bracket for yourself below, courtesy of Liquipedia:

As a reminder, being in the Winner’s Bracket means that teams have a second chance should they lose. However, once in the Loser’s Bracket, one loss means packing bags and being eliminated. Otherwise, all matches excluding the BO5 Grand Final, will run as a BO3 match. .

Schedule for VCT NA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs (CEST)

As the event spans across a few days, there’s plenty of schedule to discuss. Below, find the schedule for the first two days of competition;

August 11th

  • 21:00 – Sentinels vs Rise
  • 21:00 – Envy vs TSM
  • 23:30 – XSET vs Luminosity

Predictions for the VCT NA Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs

Right off the rip, we can easily make a distinction with regards to predictions. To begin with, all teams coming for Challengers 1 are more likely to place higher than Challengers 2.

Why? It’s because most of the teams from Challengers 2 had already attempted to qualify in Challengers 1. Bearing this in mind, Challengers 1 teams already have proven some of their strengths.

  • Challengers 1 teams: Sentinels, XSET, 100 Thieves, Team Envy
  • Challengers 2 teams: TSM, FaZe Clan, Luminosity Gaming, Rise

Narrowing it down from the top 4, I believe it’s incredibly safe to say that Sentinels are your favourites without a doubt. Accordingly, both regionally and internationally they are reigning champions, especially after claiming VCT Stage 2 Masters Reykjavik. Otherwise, the remaining three will likely contend closely with one another as they try to take down Sentinels.

VCT Game changers reportedly coming to Europe

Posted on by Nathan Bonello

According to recently circled rumours, the VCT Game Changers events are coming to Europe. Here is everything you need to know:

VCT Game changers Europe – What do we know?

Arran “Halo” Spake was the one to first come out with these rumours. He’s been pretty on point with former news and roster moves, so he’s quite a credible source for this type of stuff. In his main tweet he states that Riot have been contacting multiple European orgs which are interested in taking part in a female only event, exclusively for Europe.

Halo continued by saying that there are going to be multiple VCT Game Changers events in 2021. These will feature players from Europe, Turkey. As well as Russia. 

In North America we’ve already seen 2 instances of these Game Changers tournaments. Both events featured the best of the best female players in NA, and Cloud9 came out on top on both occasions.

George Geddes, lead reporter for Upcomer has said the following:

“I’m all for having women and marginalized genders participate in high-level European VALORANT, if this report is correct. It’s really cool to watch some Game Changes in North America, hoping it can be replicated.”

Obviously nothing has been officially announced at the time of writing, but we can expect something from Riot soon.

Event Background

  • A Double Elimination Bracket – this means there will be a Winners and Losers side to the bracket. Here, all teams wil start on the Winners side, and a loss results in demotion to the Losers side. However, a loss on trhe Losers side results in elimination from the tournament.
  • All matches will be BO3 (best of three)
  • The Grand Final will be BO5 (best of five)

We’ll start by tackling the teams hailing from the Challengers 1 event. Accordingly, from the four teams, there are definitely two levels of competency. Indeed, it’s clear that Gen.G and Pioneers are a tier above Version1 and Rise based solely on the placing at that event.

With regards to the open bracket teams, based on the format to make it to this stage, it’s quite unclear as to who stands on top once the teams go head to head. Of note, FaZe, Luminosity and T1 breezed through flawlessly without losing a map.
