Trent going unnoticed by organizations
A 17-year-old is demolishing much more experienced players. Trent demolished players such as Hiko, Asuna, Ethan, and BabyJ. Many people even argue he single-handedly dismantled 100Thieves and caused them to make such sudden roster changes.
After his monster performances, organization scouts took to Twitter expressing their discontent with themselves. They expressed how they missed out on Trent. Apparently, Trent had approached many organizations asking for tryouts but was immediately shot down because of his lack of recognition.
