Top South American VALORANT squad reportedly signs ex-The Guard duelist

Every single player of The Guard’s Ascenscion Americas-winning VALORANT squad found a home at G@ this season except for their duelist, who has reportedly finally found his spot in franchising, albeit in South America instead of his longtime home in NA.

Former The Guard and NRG duelist Ian “tex” Botsch has come to a verbal agreement to join South American team Leviatán, according to a Sept. 24 report from blix.gg. This would mark their second duelist pickup over the 2023-24 offseason, only four days after reportedly picking up VCT Americas MVP Erick “aspas” Santos.
