Why Did The Noble Esports Valorant Team Depart
The Valorant team’s departure from Noble was attributed to a lack of practice and synergy. In October, Psy revealed that Hikka being from Sri Lanka meant that he had to play at high ping. With the move to XTZ Esports, the team is now reunited and ready to compete. The team has proven to be tough competition for the likes of Global Esports in the past and may compete for a spot in the VLR.GG leaderboards for the APAC region.
The XTZ roster has proven itself in the past with a win at the ROG Showdown Valorant Open with a 3-0 win against Patatroop. The team will be looking to put on similar performances at XTZ. Noble Esports is not done with Valorant in India following their team’s departure, and they revealed that “We aren’t done with Valorant in India and will be back sooner than you think.”
