VALORANT: Alliance pick up xms to fill their vacant spot

The former French CS:GO player is making his debut for Alliance in the EU Masters

Shortly after becoming the first European team to qualify for Masters, Alliance made the sudden and shocking decision to cut Vilius “krea6on” Malinauskas. In a lengthy statement, Alliance cited krea6on’s lack of team experience as the primary reason for his ousting from the roster. The vacant spot left by krea6on in early February has now been filled by Alexandre “xms” Forté.

The former CS player is likely to bring the greater leadership presence that Alliance has been on the lookout for. Most well known for his time on Envy in CS, xms made the switch to VALORANT in January of 2021 through joining the Wash Guys. Since then xms primarily has played on Team Finest, most notably finishing 9th-16th in the EU Challengers 3 Open Qualifier. Individually, xms has shown promise as he’s averaged a 213 ACS and .77 KPR across his relatively short VALORANT career.

Joining Enzo “Fearoth” Mestari, Tautvydas “hype” Paldavicius, Thomas “kAdavra” Johner, and Niels “luckeRRR” Jaskiek, the new Alliance lineup will make their debut on March 12th in the European Masters event.
