Orangutan tests frostmind as a main player

Today, the news portal Liquipedia has presented information from its sources about changes in Orangutan. According to their information, Indonesian professional player Rafi "frostmind" Diandra is currently undergoing a trial period with the team, aiming to join the roster later.

Current Orangutan lineup

• Sabyasachi "Antidote" Bose
• Azis "azys" Nandang
• Akram "Rawfiul" Virani
• Rishi "RvK" Vijayakumar
• Rafi "frostmind" Diandra

The current season has not been very successful for the team. Despite victories in both stages of the Valorant Challengers 2023: South Asia Split 1 and Split 2, the team failed at the crucial VCT 2023: Ascension Pacific, finishing in 9-10th place. This result prevented the team from qualifying for the next seasons of the Pacific league in 2024 and 2025. Subsequently, the team's main player, tesseract, left, leaving the roster incomplete.

Will frostmind help the team?

Rafi Diandra began his career in Valorant in 2020 and has since been part of many teams. The most prestigious among them are Alter Ego and BOOM Esports. Along with the latter, frostmind won the VCT 2022: Indonesia Stage 1 Challengers and earned the title of the best defender of the tournament. His most recent tournament win is the Valornat Challengers 2023: Indonesia Split 1, where as a part of Bigetron Arctic, he beat his former colleagues from BOOM Esports in the finals.

It is worth noting that Orangutan is currently participating in the regional stage of the EMG Pro Series: South Asia, where 8 teams from South Asia are competing for the prize pool and an invitation to the EMG Legends Cup 2023. We will be following whether frostmind will help the new team to earn a spot in the main lineup.
