A Sudden Farewell: FaZe Clan Releases Its Valorant Roster
In a sudden turn of events, FaZe Clan, a globally recognized esports organization, has publicly confirmed the departure of its entire North American Challengers Valorant team. This decision places FaZe Clan alongside esports giants like G2 Esports and TSM, who recently released their Valorant rosters post the NA Challengers.
On July 24th, the organization took to the public stage to confirm that they have officially parted ways with their five-player Valorant squad. These individuals had notably represented FaZe in the North American Challengers League.
Was the Team’s Performance a Factor?
The performance of the FaZe Clan Valorant team in the Challengers League was far from outstanding. Despite receiving a direct invite to the league in 2023, bypassing the open qualifier system, the team faced its fair share of challenges.
In the first split, FaZe managed a 2-3 record during the group stage, which did allow them to qualify for the Mid-Season Face-Off tournament. However, their journey in the said event was short-lived, as they faced consecutive defeats against formidable teams like The Guard and G2 Esports.
The second split saw a slight improvement, with the team achieving a 3-2 record in the group stages. This record ensured their place in the playoffs. Here, they secured a fifth-sixth placement but unfortunately missed the opportunity to qualify for the VCT Americas Ascension.
What Lies Ahead for NA Challengers Valorant Teams?
FaZe Clan’s decision to release their Valorant squad comes amidst uncertainty in the Valorant esports scene. Currently, there are no ongoing Challengers events. With the tier-one competition, the Valorant Champions set to commence on August 6th, announcements have yet to be made about potential offseason events.
This state of limbo has left many speculating about the future of teams in the league. The big question on everyone’s minds is whether esports organizations like FaZe, TSM, and G2 will retain their spots in the league. These details might remain undisclosed as the Valorant free agency season looms, especially after the Valorant Champions event.
