With the event being hosted in Brazil, it is no surprise they have managed to secure FRTTT to captain one of the teams. He’s one of the most prolific faces in the region’s Valorant content space.

Opposing him, is one of the best Valorant streamers globally, Tarik. While the announcement of Tarik’s involvement was a surprise to many, it also fits with his persona of always chasing content to entertain his fans.

While nothing has been officially confirmed regarding Agent 22, leaks have emerged we will once again be receiving another Initator, named Gekko. This leak comes as a surprise considering Riot had released Fade (controller) less than a year ago in mid 2022.

Unfortunately unlike previous agents, no data mined descriptions or clips of Gekko’s abilities have been leaked, so you’ll have to watch the show match to find out.
