The French esports organization Mandatory has officially revealed the signing of three new players to their VALORANT roster. Joining the lineup are Enzo Mestari, Wassim "keloqz" Cista, and Michael "mikee" Lim. Additionally, the coaching staff has been bolstered by former Gentle Mates coaches: Kévin "madcoach" Ducourtioux takes the role of head coach, while Florentin "Derly" Derly will serve as his assistant.
Key Players in the New Roster
Enzo, a 28-year-old veteran, is well-known for his tenure with teams like FNATIC and Apeks. He played a pivotal role in FNATIC's success during the VCT 2022 Stage 2 Masters and VALORANT Champions 2022. Despite transitioning between teams, his experience and consistent performances as an initiator with agents like Sova and Fade make him a valuable addition to Mandatory.
keloqz, 21, began his professional career with G2 Esports, helping the team secure 4th place at the VCT 2021 Masters Berlin. However, the past few seasons have been challenging for him. After a series of setbacks with Team Heretics, he joined DVM in the French league, finishing in 5th place. Nonetheless, his duelist skills, especially with Jett, remain at a high level.
