Derke and trexx join Aurora for Valorant
The new team will compete for a spot in VCT EMEA through open qualifiers
Aurora Gaming has announced its entry into the professional Valorant scene and introduced its roster for the upcoming season. The team includes Derke, trexx, Boo, B1SK, and chiwa.
The most notable acquisition is Derke, who previously played for Fnatic and Team Vitality. Alongside him, Aurora has signed former Team Liquid player trexx and ex-Team Heretics captain Boo. The lineup is completed by B1SK and chiwa.
The team has been assembled to participate in the open qualifiers for VCT EMEA. As a result, Aurora will need to secure its place in the competition through the qualifying matches.
According to the club's CEO, Adalat Mamedov, negotiations and roster formation took only a few days. Contracts were signed just minutes before the registration for the qualifiers closed. The executive described the launch of the Valorant team as an important step for the organization's development.
For Aurora, which is already represented in other esports disciplines, the new roster opens another direction. The combination of well-known participants from international tournaments makes it one of the teams to watch in the upcoming qualifiers.
