Michael ‘neT’ Bernet will reportedly be the first player on the Valorant roster of KSE. He has played in some squads but not made any notable debut yet. Other players on this roster remain a mystery for now.
KSE currently owns two esports teams, both of them playing in a franchised tournament format. KSE owns LA Gladiators in Overwatch League and LA Guerillas in COD League. This will be their third esports roster but they won’t be able to participate in franchised tournaments yet.
Tournament franchising and league formatted events are yet to take place for Valorant and apart from Riot Game’s main title League of Legends, NA region does not have any franchised tournament yet. Riot Games might set up a similar kind of structure for Valorant as well but the details remain vague for now.
