Adam Adamou, the Chief Strategy Officer, said,” We’re thrilled to join this exclusive group of talented players and notable organizations for the NA League’s inaugural season.” He followed it up with, “VALORANT is today’s fastest-growing esport, and we’re proud to have made it through the competition.”
MAD Lions has a good reputation for their organization. However, they were not an invited team for VCT 2023; this was a smart strategy that included acquiring an already qualified team. On top of that, Dark Ratio has good talent; they need an organization to manage them. In hindsight, this is a good partnership for both sides.
