A huge thank you to each of our athletes and coach who have shown tremendous potential and capabilities. We wish them nothing but the best for their future.”
Revenant Esports began this year with disappointment after not being selected for the Valorant Challengers League (VCL) 2023: South Asia Split 1. However, the organization made a strong comeback by announcing its participation in Split 2 through an engaging announcement video, which got the Indian Gaming Community (IGC) hyped up and excited.
The video was the talk of the town as Revenant Esports dissed all the Indian teams that competed in the VCL 2023: South Asia Split 1.
Revenant Esports has been reveling in the spotlight recently. It created a huge buzz when it announced that Bollywood star Jai Hemant Shroff aka Tiger Shroff invested in the company.
The organization also made huge moves by expanding its creator lineup by signing former Hydra members such as Pratik “AlphaClasher” Jogiya and Bitty, and others.
Currently, Revenant Esports fields lineups in various esports titles including Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), Call of Duty: Mobile (CODM), and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO). It also recently announced its lineup for BGMI and is already competing in various tournaments like Nodwin’s Champions Cup.
Revenant Esports is also competing as a franchised team in the Skyesports Masters CS: GO tournament. However, the organization is yet to announce its CS:GO roster. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the players as well as Revenant Esports in Valorant.
Notably, Revenant Esports is not the only team to exit the Valorant esports scene. For the first time since July 2020, Velocity Gaming has been left without a Valorant roster. After first parting ways with its overseas recruits Domagoj "Doma" Fancev, Adam "ec1s" Eccles, and David "Dav" Miljanić, Velocity Gaming took a bold step and completely disbanded its Valorant roster and bid farewell to its other players – Anuj "Amaterasu" Sharma, Debanjan "DEATHMAKER" Das, Karan "Excali" Mhaswadkar, and Sagnik "Hellff" Roy.
