by Taiwanese-Canadian streamer and YouTuber, DisguisedToast is almost at the verge of completing his pro-Valorant squad.
DisguisedToast made the revelation of putting up a team for the first time in October. In a stream, he explained that he’s “thinking of starting a team” from the “best available unsigned pro Valorant player[s].”
The streamer has now announced that he has successfully set up the new company. Hence, what is left is to sign a couple more players to add to the three he already signed a contract with recently.
DisguisedToast has also recounted the challenges he has experienced on his way to building up this team, which is quite typical of other Valorant team founders. He explained that he has been struggling with what to call the team. DisguisedToast called on fans to help him pick a reasonable name for the Valorant team. He narrowed the specifics of what he expects from the proposed name that fans may choose. The streamer noted he does not intend to add “Toast” or “esports” to the name.
“I’m trying to get these guys to VCT,” he told his chat. “I can’t be calling them the Rizz-lords,” he said.
Another challenge he has recounted is looking for sponsors. He also described how difficult it is to get desired players. The streamer revealed the two players he had on his radar and wanted to have on his team were both snatched up by other esports outfits. Although he did not reveal who these players were, several reports allege that it was American Max “Demon1” Mazanov, who apparently has been trailing with DiguisedToast’s team.
“I also had my first team owner experience, of kinda have a player snatched from me. We were going to sign a player, but another org signed him after we scrimmed against them. That player did pretty well,” he said on a stream.
“This is what it’s like to be involved in esports.”
The North American Valorant Challengers league qualifiers are scheduled to begin as early as January 9, 2023, thus DisguisedToast will most likely be unveiling his lineup and possibly the team name anytime from now. Teams already confirmed to be participating in this Valorant league include G2 Esports, TSM, The Guard, VersionX, Shopify Rebellion, and a couple others.
