Just days after bidding farewell to Velocity Gaming, one of the esports veterans from the Indian competitive scene, Tejas "rite2ace" Sawant, has been signed by Revenant Esports in a bid to bolster its Valorant team ahead of the 2023 circuit.

The revered Sova main looks in solid shape as curtains draw to a close over the current season, having witnessed a fantastic year with Velocity Gaming and contributing to his former team winning multiple tournaments like VCC 2022: Stage 1, TEC Challenger Series 7, and Skyesports Pro Invitational - S2.

Additionally, rite2ace also got an opportunity to go up against against international players by qualifying for the VCT 2022: APAC Challengers Stage 1.

"It feels really amazing to join a team of Revenant Esports' caliber which has achieved unbelievable growth in such a short period of time," says rite2ace, "I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in Valorant with my previous organization and look forward to this new chapter of my career."

Revenant Esports bolsters Valorant roster for the 2023 season by signing rite2ace

One of the latest teams from India to enter competitive Valorant, Revenant Esports has climbed to the top rather quickly within the national scene. The organization signed its first lineup in March 2022, undergoing a number of changes since then to currently have a seven-man international roster, including the latest arrival rite2ace.

The 29-year-old is one of the most experienced players from the South Asian region, having competed internationally across both CS:GO and Valorant. He is adept at providing support for his team and is also known for his high success rate during clutch situations, bringing with him a lot of ideas and strategies to embolden the rather young Revenant lineup.

He will likely be working in tandem with the current IGL (In-Game Leader) for the side, Saaransh "Whimp" Dang, who has helped Revenant attain multiple podium finishes through 2022.

• Second - Amazon Summer Sale Invitational
