The young American organization FUSION, which, after the end of the season, moved its entire roster to the bench, has introduced the first player around whom they will build the future roster for Valorant in the upcoming season.

In 2022, FUSION signed its first squad and managed to win over 60,000 dollars in prize money in two years, most of which came in 2023. During this period, their roster impressed audiences with a successful performance in the local Challengers league and made it to the main tournament of the year for the tier-2 scene, VCL Ascension: Americas 2023, where FUSION finished in 5-6th place. Following this, all team players were moved to the bench, and on November 11th, one of them was brought back to the main roster around whom the team will be built for the next season.

The first player in the Valorant squad is Sebastián "Darker" Cicuamia. A day before his official return, the player and the club surprised their fans with the news, announcing that the player was definitively leaving the organization. However, today he has become the first member of the roster for the next season.

FUSION has received an invitation to one of this year's off-season events - Cross-Fire Latin America North, which will start on November 17th. There is a possibility that the team will compete in this event with a renewed lineup.
