Acend team lineup against Diamant Esports
In the debut match of the VALORANT East: United: Season 2: Stage 3 - League tournament, the Acend team played against Diamant Esports and secured a victory with a score of 2:1. Instead of Ondřej "MONSTEERR" Petrů in this match played Egor "chiwawa" Stepanyuk. This substitution could be temporary, or Egor might stay in the main lineup for future tournaments. Neither the players nor the organization have provided comments regarding this change, so we are left waiting for official announcements from the organization representatives.
Egor "chiwawa" Stepanyuk missed the 2023 season because he couldn't find a new team after breaking the contract with Excel Esports, where he previously played alongside Gilad "ALIVE" Hakim, who is currently performing for Acend. Possibly, it was ALIVE's recommendation that led to his trial with the European squad. Earlier, according to rumors, chiwawa tried his hand at KOI, but after being spotted in Acend, it can be concluded that the collaboration with the Spanish club did not work out.
Keep an eye on our website to not miss any information on whether this substitution is temporary or if Acend plans to make changes to their current Valorant lineup. This and other freshest information will appear on our website as soon as possible after the official announcement.
