Gambit Esports is an organization present on several stages. It's one of the few organizations to have won a CS:GO Major and in Europe, it will surely bring back nostalgic memories to League of Legends fans.
It has now decided to embark on a new adventure alongside Riot Games. It has announced its Valorant team: players, coach and analyst are now known. A few days after sharing its new logo, its community can consider itself fulfilled.
The Gambit Esports team is very young. There is not a lot of data on these Russian players and the whole team has an average age well under 20 years old:
- Timofey "Chronicle" Khromov
- Nikita "d3ffo" Sudakov
- Bogdan "sheydos" Naumov
- Danila "Sunset" Soloviov
- Ayaz "nAts" Akhmetshin
Among them, Sunset is surely the best known as a former professional Apex Legends player. He played for Gambit Esports at the time, so he's already well known to them. nAts has played tournaments on CS:GO but in very small teams.
It's difficult to know the real level of the team. All the players have participated in many online tournaments since the beginning of Valorant, but in different teams.
The organization also announced the coach Andrey "Engh" Sholokhov, former Overwatch professional, and an analyst, Vladimir "k1n3c7" Baklunov.
The Chinese organization, FunPlus Phoenix, wants to be ambitious on the European market. It has appointed a new General Manager who will take care of the Valorant and CS:GO teams.
