Hunter "SicK" Mims will be taking an extended leave of absence to attend to an on-going family matter. SicK has our full support during this difficult time.

Shahzeb “ShahZaM” Khan
Shane “Rawkus” Flaherty

Eric “Kanpeki” Xu

In the most recent match against OpTiC, they played with two stand-ins. Let’s see if this roster manages to pull off anything impressive – though the odds are stacked against them.
They likely won’t manage to improve over their record in the coming event:
1-4th @ VCT 2022 NA Stage 2 Challengers – Open Qualifier 2
7-8th @ VCT 2022 NA Stage 2 Challengers – Open Qualifier 1
7-8th @ VCT 2022 North America Stage 1 Challengers
Last year, the T1 VALORANT Roster 2022 managed to break into the VALORANT Champions Tour in North America. Accordingly, the team failed to make it in the first half of 2022 and are hence, making some changes. Indeed, read on to learn more about the recent change below!
T1 VALORANT Roster 2022 – Aiming for VCT
YOU THOUGHT WE WERE DONE??!?!@MUNCHKING_: Professional VALORANT for T1.
Early this month, T1 parted ways with the two players, and managed to make a trade with Cloud9. Furthermore, they’ve now decided to sign a new fifth player.
Accordingly, they’ve gone with the signing of Byeon “Munchkin” Sang-beom
Zander “thwifo” Kim
Joshua “steel” Nissan
Josh “pwny” VanGorder
Son “xeta” Seon-ho
Byeon “Munchkin” Sang-beom

Indeed, this is a huge signing. Coming from the likes of the second best team in Japan, Crazy Raccoon, this could help push T1 further.
Bearing this in mind, the team will be heading into the next season trying to enter the VCT ring of NA.
To do so, T1 will need to improve over their record for the earlier part of this year:
1st @ NSG Summer Champinoship Open 2
9-16th @ NSG Summer Championship Open 1
3rd @ Knights Arena Monthly Gauntlet 2022: March
9-16th @ VCT 2022 NA Stage 1 Challengers – Open Qualifier 1
Accordingly, the likes of the FaZe VALORANT Roster 2022 has formed hoping to rise up in North America. Indeed, bearing this in mind, a recent change is rather surprising. Read on as we discuss a last-second change to the team below!
Specifically, heading into the upcoming event, the team has decided to bench the following player for the time being:
Jake “POACH” Brumleve
With no reason given, we know that the change is ongoing in the VCT Stage 2 Challenger competition. Accordingly, the following is the active roster for the upcoming matches for this team.
Andrej “babybay” Francisty
Quan “dicey” Tran
Xavier “flyuh” Carlson
Christopher “LarryBanks” Doyi
Phat “supamen” Le
Kevin “poised” Ngo

Perhaps this last second change can help FaZe push forward. Sitting at 0-1 in Group B, they’ll want to be in the top 4 teams in order to move on in the competition:
1-4th @ VCT 2022: NA Stage 2 Challengers – Open Qualifier
3-4th @ Knights Guantlet Circuit Monthly 2022: April
1st @ Proving Grounds $20k – Spring 2022
7-8th @ VCT 2021: North American Last Chance Qualifier
Accordingly, rumours tend to be the start of the truth for roster changes. Indeed, the Misfits VALORANT Roster 2022 has received a tonne of attention. Read on as we discuss the roster with two potential new rosters below!
Earlier this year, in February, Misfits dived into competitive VALORANT. Specifically, the European organization dived in by signing a European Game Changers roster.
Investing into female esports, the following roster is currently active:
Chloe “chloe” Wong
Madelynn “Mady” Saye
Presley “Slandy” Anderson
Vernina “Verninaa” Gozum
Bearing this in mind, back in April they released the likes of “LunaFox” and now, they have an empty spot.
Right now, rumours and Tweets indicate that one of the following players will likely be joining the organization:
Zoe “Zoessie” Servais
“kxtieoh”

It’s likely they’ll opt for Zoe “Zoessie” Servais, a young player who has finished up with some impressive accomplishments.
Whatever the choice is, they’ll hope to continue improving over their previous accomplishments so far:
3-4th @ Moonrise $1000 Showdown #2
9-12th @ VCT 2022: Game Changers North America Series 1 – Open Qualifier

When it comes to esports roster changes, players often make their own decisions. Accordingly, there have been rumours surrounding the VALORANT Team Liquid roster. Indeed, their star player has confirmed that he is planning on returning to CS:GO in the future – read on to lear nmore!
Back in 2021, the likes of Elias “Jamppi” Olkkonen, retired from CS:GO. However, not leaving as a low-tier player, he left while on the top organization in Finland – ENCE.
Quickly joining Team Liquid afterwards, the youngster has been a super player for the roster. Indeed, helping the team achieve much, he’s an essential part of the team. However, recent developments have revealed the player’s plans.

According to a recent Twitch stream by the player, he confessed to estimating a return to competitive CS:GO. Namely, after VALORANT Champions this year, he will look to make a decision.
Should he leave as planned, Team Liquid will need to find a new player instead of him – which will certainly not be easy. However, for now, he remains on one of the best teams in Europe – let’s see what he can accomplish first!
Sometimes, after climbing on top, teams can take a step back. Accordingly, those are the only concerns of the world champions of VALORANT. However, the OpTic VALORANT Roster 2022 promises improvement with a new piece of staff – a new analyst for this team.

Indeed, considering how complicated VALORANT is at the highest level, an analyst is a valuable asset. Regardless though, OpTic Gaming managed to come out on top as world champions without an official analyst on the roster.
However, that all changes with the signing of Jovanni “Jovi” Vera. Accordingly, the young analyst has only had experience back on 100 Thieves in the very same region.
Definitely, he’ll be working with the coach, Chet “Chet” Singh to keep the OpTic VALORANT roster at the highest level:
One thing that made OpTic so successful is the use of newer agents such as Neon at VCT Masters. An analyst can help teams adapt to the meta faster than anyone else.
Let’s see if they can maintain their regional and international dominance up:
