by KOI has announced the new additions of their Valorant team for the upcoming Valorant Champions Tour 2023.
As the opening tournament in Rio de Janeiro approaches, it is important that the final teams in the franchised league finalize their rosters.
Of the 30 partnered VALORANT teams for the 2023 VCT season, 29 have already announced their rosters, with the exception of Spanish organization KOI, which were the only team that remained unconfirmed.
After much anticipation, the organization co-founded by streaming sensation Ibai Llanos and former professional footballer Gerard Piqué have finally released their roster. However, there is still one key position in the starting line-up that has yet to be filled.
On their official Twitter account, KOI announced the roster for their 2023 Valorant Champions Tour. The team consists of both experienced players who have performed on the global stage and up-and-coming prodigies who are eager to make a name for themselves.
On the KOI roster are Jose Luis “koldamenta” Aranguren Herrero, the former in-game leader of the Guild Esports team, flex player Nikita “trexx” Cherednichenko, Bogdan “Sheydos” Naumov, formerly of Gambit/M3C, and Berkant “Wolfen” Joshkun, alongside coach André “BARBARR” M?ller.
They will be joining substitute Gerard “ThoR” Vicente Dominguez, who has been with the team since January 2022.
Sheydos and koldamenta are both seasoned international players with lots of experience. Sheydos was previously part of the Gambit lineup, which won the VCT 2021 Masters, but due to various setbacks and insufficient support, the team were unable to return to the international stage.
Many fans are hoping that Sheydos will receive the necessary support in this new team, as he is a skilled player with a lot of untapped potentials.
There is much anticipation to see how he will perform in this newly franchised KOI roster.
Another seasoned player on the roster is Koldamenta, who is a highly skilled player often mentioned as one of the top in-game leaders in Valorant.
He has had a successful career thus far, starting from his time with G2, where he led the team to the international stage, and then joining Guild, where he was able to repeat this feat.
Koldamenta has a talent for leading and guiding different teams, despite their varied abilities and personalities, to victory in their region and on the international stage.
In addition to koldamenta, Trexx was also a member of GUILD and has played alongside koldamenta who was the team’s leader. Therefore, he has had the opportunity to play on the international level.
Fans are excited to see more of Trexx and his dynamics with koldamenta, some are also eager to see him attain his full potential.
Wolfen, the youngest member of the team, is a talented prodigy who has only participated in C-tier tournaments.
Despite this, he has demonstrated great potential and fans are eager to see what he will contribute to the KOI roster.
The new roster will have their debut outing at the VCT LOCK//IN event scheduled to commence on February 13 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where they are $34.00 outsiders with esports betting sites.
