Sinatraa says he was “forced step back” from competitive play. When in reality he was suspended for not fully cooperating with Riot’s investigation. Yet people still believe he did nothing wrong, appalling how he is being welcomed back in the scene like nothing ever happened.
Sentinels have made Kanpeki official.
Their lineup is:
Shahzam
TenZ
Dapr
SicK
Kanpeki
They will make their debut in the VCT Open Qualifiers which begin on April 28.
#VCT
Sources: vanity will not be part of C9's active roster moving forward. The team will now have to fill 2 spots before VCT Americas start on April 1st.
#VCT
SEN is registered with Kanpeki and Zombs for the Stage 2 Open Qualifier.
V1 is also registered with WARDELL, likely in case wippie is unable to play
#VCT
Sean Gares has announced that he did not make the talent cut for Masters Reykjavik, going forward he will not accept broadcast positions. He has announced he will be focusing on competitive play.
Could we finally see SEN Sgares?
Also Riot blowing it, one of the best casters
#VCT
100T will retain their bye and Circuit Points because they have added Hiko as a "sub" to their roster.
No he will not play, unless of an emergency
#VCT
Sources: M80 are set to re-sign koalanoob, zander, and nism0 to its VALORANT roster.
They are also set to add former 100T player and Liquid IGL, nitr0 to its roster.
Their 5th is undecided at the moment.
#VCT
Sources: xQc is set to enter VALORANT with the signing of Turtle Troops. He joins the likes of DisguisedToast and Ludwig as streamers to have a VALORANT team.
#VCT
in all seriousness though, tarik is a great representative for the community man. Standing up for what's right no matter what, while articulating himself pretty damn well.
I would've lost my mind 10 times over
I've spoken to the kid who produced the 100T stream.
He is 13 years old, he claims that Knights knew about his age and they had called prior to the broadcast.
Additionally, he claims that he told management that he was not well versed in producing a broadcast.
To recap some of the news:
EG: -pho, seen trialing jCstani
T1: recently played with dynamic
Rise: dissolved
FaZe: +supamen and poised on trial
100T: unsure of the roster
GenG: - gMd, looking for 2
Soniqs: looking for 2
TSM: looking for 2
Rostermania in full effect
#VCT
ddk has announced after Game Changers and VCT, he will be stepping away from commentary.
This comes shortly after sgares announced he did not make the cut for Reykjavik.
Riot lost two of the best duos in casting.
#VCT
SEN's CEO, Rob Moore has responded to Zombs' recent comments about Riot taking money from their Champions prize pool. He stated that he misread the statement and charged the expenses against the prize money and the issue has now been amended.
#VCT
Sources: EG were eyeing Turtle Troop’s add3r for months, constantly changing their mind on whether they wanted him or not. As of last week, TT were practicing with Paincakes in place of add3r because they presumed he was going to EG. EG decided they didn’t want add3r leaving 1/3
@threeFPS
lol you are lost, if you think i’m trying to stir the pot. I’m in a position where I have an influence in the community, and I’ll stand up for what I believe in.
Per
@GeorgeCGed
FaZe's roster is likely to be
Poach
Babybay
Dicey
Supamen
Poised
Shanks
Although Shanks might not play, they would have 3/5 of Rise's old team, which would likely grant them their 10 Circuit Points and a bye to the Ro32 in the next qualifier
#VCT
By the sounds of it, Fnatic will have to get a sub for Reykjavik. Regardless if braveaf was able to compete at Reykjavik, he is now suspended by Fnatic.
#VCT
Sentinels have confirmed that Zombs will be stepping down from the active roster. Clearing the path for Kanpeki to join the roster.
Sentinels will make their debut in the Open Qualifiers which begin on April 28.
#VCT
XERXIA has beaten OpTic again... Last time at Champions in the decider match, this time in the opener.
OpTic will now face KRÜ in an elimination match on Tuesday.
#VCT
100T will retain their 15 Circuit Points and bye to the Ro32.
The same goes for FaZe if they acquire Shanks, Supamen, and Poised even if Shanks doesn't play, per source.
#VCT

@GeorgeCGed
: 100T are going to build around bang and Asuna moving forward. Additionally, the deal for Derrek is nearing completion, it is likely he would replace Hiko.
The core of 100T is likely to be:
Asuna
bang
Derrek
#VCT
Another rostermania recap so far:
100T: Derrek Bang Asuna Stellar Will(?)
TSM: + gMd and Seven
GenG: Looking for two
NYFU: Rebuilding around Oderus
Ghost: + aproto
EG: - pho
FaZe: + poised and supa(?)
Akrew: +ZachaREEE
