Valorant: Ninja will be the captain of a team at the upcoming T1 x NSG Showdown
The surprising news caused a sensation, of course, and will likely declare Twitch's victory in the war for control of streaming, but Ninja has no intention of taking a break: apparently he will be the captain of a team that will participate in the next VALORANT tournament, the T1 Showdown.
The Ninja team will consist of great ex: Michael "sonii" Sherman of T1, the former pro player of Fortnite Austin "Morgausse" Etue, the former pro player of Apex Legends Greg "Grego" McAllen and former CS: GO player, Alex "Lex" Deily.
Apart from Ninja, all the players mentioned are already focused on their career as VALORANT players. Team Ninja will participate in the first USA event of the VALORANT Ignition Series (after the one organized by G2 in Europe) and will take place starting from Friday 26 June to end on Sunday 28 June.
"We are excited to collaborate with the players of Nerd Street Gaming in organizing the first VALORANT Ignition Series in North America, "said Joe Marsh, CEO of T1. "In addition to the VALORANT team, we have invited some of the biggest names to fight for the $ 50,000 prize pool and we can't wait to share some fantastic content on the way to the event."
