FaZe Clan is an American esports organization that has various professional teams in games like Call of Duty, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and the shooter Valorant.
Recently, the company posted on Twitter the introduction of a special new team: 5 players form FaZe Clan’s first esports team that consists entirely of women.
These are the 5 Valorant players
FaZe Clan posted a video clip on March 7, 2023, on Twitter, in which the five players are humorously introduced as the new team for Valorant.
In it, FaZe Clan writes the headline “The first roster consisting only of women from FaZe Clan is introduced”:
Who are the players? The Valorant team consists of:
- Emma “emy” Chloe
- Diane “di^” Tran
- Madison “maddiesuun” Mann
- Jennifer “refinnej” Le
- Vannesa Emely “panini” Emory
The women have previously played together in various professional teams. All 5 first competed in 2022 at the Champions Tour Game Changers Series III in North America under the team name Hamboigas.
When will we see the team in action? The team’s first major appearance with FaZe Clan will be in the upcoming Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) of the Game Changers program.
The new team aims to complement the well-known VCT competition season by “creating new opportunities for women and other marginalized genders in VALORANT esports” (via playvalorant.com).
How does the community react? The community responds excitedly under the Twitter post regarding the new team. Many FaZe members and Twitter users welcome the players and are thrilled that FaZe now has the first team consisting of 5 women.
Here you can find a YouTuber who buys his own team in Valorant for €470,000 during the esports winter and watches them go under.
