Valiant, who have just been crowned Challengers France's champions, recently saw their star player,
Sylvain "Veqaj" Pattyn, depart for Gentle Mates earlier this week, as previously reported by Sheep Esports. In filling the shoes of the MVP of the Challengers France Stage 2, a profile of cNedâs caliber was anticipatedâhe was among the worldâs top performers during
VALORANTâs early competitive era. Even before securing the world title, the Turkish player had already claimed his first international trophy at the Masters.
While his 2024 campaign was far from unsuccessful, it proved less prolific. Competing with FUT, cNed finished third in Stage 1 and fourth in Stage 2 of VCT EMEA. However, his most recent outing ended on a high note, as he captured the title at Spike Nations #5 while representing Turkey, before taking his break.
