Sources: Russ to step down from Guild for VCT EMEA LCQ, Twisten a possible replacement

Guild Esports VALORANT player Russel “Russ” Mendes will take a temporary break from competition, multiple sources tell Dot Esports. 

One of the players that could replace Russ is Karel “Twisten” Ašenbrener. He will likely be signed on loan from BIG for the upcoming VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA last chance qualifier. The VCT EMEA LCQ’s roster lock is today, meaning all teams have signed their complete rosters as of later tonight.
