Guild Esports Announces Full VALORANT Line-Up

Guild Esports has captured the headlines in recent weeks with their huge investments and by taking the organisation on to the London Stock Market. Backed by David Beckham, Guild Esports has now plunged further into the esports scene by signing their first PC side, adding to their Rocket League roster and FIFA player Niklas Raseck.

Their new acquisitions are Swedish VALORANT team, previously known as "Bonk". The roster consists of Yacine "Yacine" Laghmari, Malkolm "bonkar" Rench, Leo "Leo" Janneson, William "draken" Sundin, and Filip "Goffe" Gauffin.

The side recently finished second in the LVL Clash 2 tournament which boasted the best talent in European VALORANT, their best finish at an Ignition Series all year. With draken, Goffe, and Yacine as former successful CS:GO professionals, bonkar as a former Paladins World Champion, and 16-year-old Leo as their rising star, Guild now have a roster that is on the rise through Europe, despite the stiff competition.

Guild now has competitors in both VALORANT and Rocket League, with the latter just missing out on the Playoffs for the European Major Championships to FC Barcelona. 

Their VALORANT Roster will kick off their campaign at their new home at the First Strike event in early November. One of their newest recruits, Yacine, stated: "Valorant is one of the most dynamic esports out there and being in Guild’s first Valorant roster is an exciting opportunity. I'm looking forward to playing my part in the future of Guild and the team.

"Guild is an organisation with big ambitions that is on a path to achieve great things and I’m proud to be a part of that. Our team has already proved itself at a top-level and now the goal is to become world champions".

First Ladder will begin in November, where they will likely go head-to-head against the likes of Ninjas in Pyjamas, Team Liquid, and G2 Esports.
