Sources: Partnered teams likely unable to field academy VALORANT rosters in 2023

The VALORANT teams selected to partner with tournament organizer and game developer Riot Games for the international leagues next year will likely be unable to field academy rosters for lower leagues, multiple sources told Dot Esports. 

Further information was recently sent to teams to inform them of the rule since they could end up playing against the main roster if they qualify through the Challengers and Ascension circuit. The information remains subject to change, though.
