The esports landscape continually evolves as organizations reassess the support and structure available in different competitive scenes. Recently, one prominent organization decided to withdraw from the competitive Valorant arena, citing long-term concerns with the system’s capacity to nurture lower-tier teams.
The organization explained on social media that the existing competitive structure does not offer sufficient opportunities for teams not affiliated with the premier Valorant Champions Tour. Their decade-long involvement in the game reaches a turning point as they plan to step away without a foreseeable comeback.
Key points highlighted by the organization include:
- Frustration with an ecosystem that limits development for teams outside the primary circuit.
- A heartfelt thanks extended to the game’s developers for their ongoing efforts to enhance the competitive framework and create a game celebrated by many.
- Sincere gratitude conveyed to the players who contributed to making a significant mark in the competitive scene over the past several years.
In light of the decision, all three competitive teams have been disbanded. This move affects the main men's squad, the developmental team, and the specialized squad known for its distinctive approach.
