The world of competitive Valorant never sleeps, and this past week was packed with drama, roster shake-ups, and serious red flags for Tier 2 esports. In his latest YouTube upload, TacticalRab dives into everything from FNS tributes, to Leviatán’s roster rebuild, to M80’s rumored financial issues — and yes, even a full-blown NA Tier 2 meltdown.
Let’s break it all down.
🟢 FNS Gets His Flowers (and a Little Smoke)
Before we dive into the chaos, TacticalRab highlights a few reactions to FNS’s recent retirement. Former teammates like yay and crashies shared heartfelt words, thanking him for his impact.
But not everyone kept it sentimental. Chronicle, with Classic cheeky energy, tweeted a photo from Gambit’s 3-0 win over Envy in Champions 2021, jokingly calling it one of the best moments of his career. Cold.
🔴 T1 Brings Up DH, Runs Seven-Man Roster for EWC
T1 are making a bold move as they prep for the Esports World Cup qualifiers. Rising star DH has been officially promoted from the academy roster, joining names like Meteor, Stacks, and Buzz on what could be a stacked seven-man lineup.
While the final starting five hasn’t been confirmed, scrim leaks suggest SylaN may be the odd man out. One thing’s for sure — T1 knows they have to shake things up after missing out on Masters Toronto.
🟡 M80: In Trouble or Just Restructuring?
This is where things get messy. M80 confirmed the transfer of Okanos and Sarto to Leviatán, and while that move raised eyebrows, it’s what came next that sparked real concern.
According to multiple sources, M80 is facing serious issues paying its players, with some salaries reportedly delayed dating back to 2023. Some players have allegedly contacted Riot Games and the Valorant Player Association for help. No official statements yet, but the silence is loud.
Now, rumors are flying about a potential merger between M80 and Leviatán, as M80 looks to offload talent and perhaps step away from Valorant entirely. TacticalRab puts it bluntly — if this org collapses, it’s another brutal blow to the Tier 2 scene.
🟣 Leviatán Reloads With Okanos and Sarto
Leviatán wasted no time after losing Demon1 and Rossy, picking up Okanos and Sarto in what could be a solid reset. This new core may not move the needle overnight, but the org clearly hopes fresh energy will help bring more consistent results.
🔵 Tier 2 Meltdown: The Ambrosia vs. Cubet Saga
The Tier 2 scene in North America continues to implode, and the latest episode centers around Ambrosia, Cubet Academy, and one very controversial transfer.
Cubet is trying to sign Satellite, Ambrosia’s star duelist, but a miscommunication with league admins has led to complete chaos. Admins reportedly said the transfer was approved, then walked it back, leaving both teams scrambling.
- Ambrosia wants to use Satellite for playoffs.
- Cubet says he’s already their player and shouldn’t be scrimming with his old team.
- Satellite might be forced to play with Ambrosia anyway, or worse — with a coach sub.
- Tog (from Cubet) and Acrian (from Ambrosia) have been beefing publicly, complete with personal insults.
It’s a mess, and unfortunately it’s nothing new for Tier 2. The lack of admin clarity and structure continues to hurt orgs, players, and the integrity of these events.
🧠 World Cup Qualifiers: Who’s Playing?
TacticalRab also breaks down roster shifts ahead of the Esports World Cup qualifiers, starting this week:
- Crew Esports adds Traded and Nerve
- 100 Thieves may not be playing with EU due to availability concerns
- Brackets and official team lists remain unclear
The qualifiers are almost here, but we still don’t fully know which versions of some teams will show up.
🔚 Final Thoughts: Tier 2 Is in Trouble
From M80’s financial uncertainty to ongoing Tier 2 disorganization, TacticalRab points out what many already fear — the foundation of the competitive ecosystem is shaky.
If more orgs follow the path of BLEED or M80, Tier 2 will suffer. Riot and the tournament organizers need to step in with more structure, consistency, and support.
