xCeeD joins NRG VALORANT on trial
NRG announced earlier today that Jack "xCeeD" Holiman will be joining their VALORANT squad on trial.
xCeeD is most known for his time with the SoaR roster that upset Rise Nation to reach ESL Pro League, and eventually became Dignitas. After leaving the latter organization, he plied his trade with a number of sides before reuniting with familiar faces in The Quest, who went on to be signed by Triumph.
NRG are now:
- Damian "daps" Steele
- Sam "s0m" Oh
- Yannick "KOLER" Blanchette
- Daniel "eeiu" Vucenovic
- Jack "xCeeD" Holiman (Trial)
- Chet "Chet" Singh (Coach)
Speaking of Dignitas, they have rounded our their roster with the additions of Chad "Oderus" Miller and Bryan "MAKKA" Drouillard following the dismissals of Kevin "poised" Ngo and Ryan "shanks" Ngo. The duo most recently played for Morning Light in Riot's FPS, and were long-time teammates in CS:GO on teams such as RONIN and Ghost Academy.
Dignitas are now:
- Rory "dephh" Jackson
- Harrison "psalm" Chang
- Phat "supamen" Le
- Chad "Oderus" Miller
- Bryan "MAKKA" Drouillard
Former Thunder Logic player Bryce "PureR" Lovell has also been playing VALORANT of late, being announced as part of XSET earlier today. Prior to the announcement, the team claimed first place in Nerd Street Gamers' October event.
Finally, Cloud9 have continued to invest into VALORANT with the signing of a female squad featuring former Nemesis fe member Alexis "alexis" Guarrasi and observer Melanie "meL" Capone.
All the above teams have made it through the first day of Nerd Street Gamers' First Strike qualifier. All four will are set to face fellow CS:GO alums, most notably NRG taking on Michael "agM" Abood and Complexity, XSET facing Jason "neptune" Tran's Immortals.
