Veteran CWL pro becomes first CoD star to make VALORANT big leagues

Only a select few have had the opportunity to play on the world stage in multiple different esports and now another will add his name to the list following the conclusion of the VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA Ascension tournament on July 16.

Wailers Locart, a retired French Call of Duty professional who played at four CoD World League Championships across the late 2020s, is now set to represent Gentle Mates in the VCT EMEA top flight with his team next year after sweeping Apeks 3-0 in the promotion final. The French star said he was “speechless” following the team’s win, which saw them make a run through the lower bracket to make the final.
