Unfortunately, The Guard was not selected by Riot to join VALORANT’s International Leagues. We work hard to build exciting Championship-caliber rosters, produce world-class content levels above the standard, and create foundational systems for long-term success and will continue to do so. We are incredibly grateful that all of this resonated with fans and your support has blown us away. We joined as an unknown and developed a Tier 1 organization from the ground up. We know success takes time no matter the approach and that there are no shortcuts - we are confident that our groundwork has laid the foundation for success still to come. As an organization, we are still early in our journey and have not begun to scratch the surface of what we hope to accomplish. We will continue to challenge the definition of what it means to be an esports organization and are hopeful that Valorant will be integral to that long-term vision. We cannot thank our players, staff, and you - the fans - enough.
