My goal by making this move is to encourage young adults that collegiate is a viable route through tier two while helping set themselves up for success long term. There's some uncertainty out there in the t2/3 space and it makes sense to me that collegiate can help naturally fill that void. I'm aiming to take the first collegiate Valorant team into Challengers. If you're interested in Maryville or collegiate at all let's talk.
Thankful for our new Valorant coach ๐Ÿ™ Welcome to Maryville, @MatthewCElmore

I see the @KRUesports guys getting a bit of hate and I don't think people understand how close they've been a number of times. It's crazy how close the Americas league has been so far. These are ONLY matches that are both teams in double digit scores in a map win/loss.
