The Knights VCL North America saw its final stage over the last week. In the play-in relegations, we saw Disguised Toast's Disguised Valorant losing to OR Esports and MAD Lions. The losses came after the team's disappointing split-two run with Valorant superstar Yay. Today, DSG Valorant announced the departure of the complete Valorant squad.

The Disguised Journey:

After the announcement of the Challengers League, Disguised Toast took it upon himself to create an Esports organization starting with Valorant. The first iteration of DSG consisted of previous Knights members, Genghsta, Exalt, and Xxif, with IGL steel and newcomer Clear. Led by Ocean as the coach, the team thrived in the open qualifiers and made their way to the Challengers League.

The team later parted ways with Exalt mid-way through the first split. But the changes made little to no impact. DSG signed Yay on April 15th and sent shockwaves throughout the Valorant NA. But the team's performance depreciated as they did not win a single game in the second split.

A few days ago, Disguised Toast shared a tweet showing how much money he lost in the year and how it exceeded the projected expense. The results only worsened when DSG lost to OR Esports and MAD Lions. With the results not standing upto the expectations and another open qualifier, DSG Twitter announced the release of the entire Valorant squad with an uncertain future for the DSG Valorant team.

Team Vitality CEO Neo: "For Us to be a Global Leader Means Being a Contender at EWC"

Team Vitality remains one of the most influential and well-known esports organizations to date. The Paris-based org fields over 20 esports teams in various esports, though their immensely impressive results in Counter-Strike take center stage.  Being one of the organizations present at Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, we managed to speak with Fabien "Neo" Devide, Co-Founder and CEO of the Hive, just after an interview with Mike McCabe, COO of the Esports World Cup Foundation, at the opening press conference at EWC. Neo provided a ton of insight into the organization's participation at this year's edition of EWC in Paris. He expressed his desire for the org to perform to the highest standards, but also highlighted that rivalry is key to grow the ecosystem. Additionally, Neo gave strong opinions on the growth of mobile esports following last year's Vitality's takeover and merger with Indonesian side Bigetron, stressing the need for innovation and following ideas in the east, as much as the west.
