L1NK will help Acend at VCT 2022: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier
According to insider Bo Hoogland, L1NK will play for Team ACEND in the upcoming VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier. The former Team Liquid player will help the team to close the gap in the lineup after the departure of zeek.
According to sources, L1NK, who is currently inactive with Team Liquid, has been training with Acend for a while and will likely join them for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier instead of zeek.
L1NK was the founder of the original team roster, formed in the summer of 2020 after the club bought the fish123 team. In two years, the 23-year-old British player helped Team Liquid win VCT 2021: EMEA Stage 2 Challengers Finals, VCT 2021: Europe Stage 3 Challengers 2, VCT 2021: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier and Red Bull Home Ground #2, and also get into the top three winners at Red Bull Home Ground, VCT 2021: Europe Stage 2 Challengers 2 and VALORANT Champions 2021.
In addition, L1NK took part in major international championships, namely VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters - Reykjavík (4th place) and VCT 2022: Stage 1 Masters - Reykjavík (7th-8th place). However, at the beginning of June, the 23-year-old Briton left the team, in which changes descended.
Note that L1NK was not the first candidate on Acend's roster for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier. The European team has already managed to practice with DeepMans, d3ffo and Mickebwoy.
VALORANT Champions Tour 2022: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier runs from August 7 to 14. As part of the championship, eight teams from Europe, the CIS and Turkey will take part, which will compete for one ticket to VALORANT Champions 2022.
