Former TALON head coach, Hector ‘FrosT’ Rosario, has expressed his disappointment with Riot Video games’ course of when deciding on a alternative for the VCT Pacific group in an unique interview with Esports Insider.
“For those who don’t suppose TALON is sweet sufficient, that’s nice. However there’s no method you thought FULL SENSE was, if you handed on them in franchising within the first place. Riot’s personal analysis mentioned FULL SENSE wasn’t ok,” he shared.
Editor’s notice: For confidentiality functions, some group names have been redacted from this interview.
Now a part of International Esports, the American coach revealed that he had organisations “larger than Sentinels” able to take over TALON’s spot.
Nevertheless, Riot Video games rejected the proposals and as an alternative opted to usher in FULL SENSE, regardless of beforehand turning down its partnership utility.
“And the organisations I introduced have been arguably larger than most organisations in VALORANT. I don’t wish to take names, however among the organisations I had have been larger than even a group like Sentinels,” FrosT revealed.
“[redacted] was the largest one we have been occupied with. They’re larger than Sentinels. That doesn’t essentially imply they’re larger in VALORANT, however within the grand scheme of esports, they’re larger.”

No Clear Rationalization
In line with FrosT, Riot Video games didn’t present clear reasoning on not shifting ahead along with his proposals and as an alternative “saved shifting the goalposts.”
“They saved saying, ‘Oh, we would like APAC groups solely,’ which to me is actually bizarre given the truth that it’s a one-year lease,” he defined. “It’s not such as you’re coping with this group for 3 extra years.”
In step with Riot’s directions, the top coach introduced an APAC group on board, however the utility was as soon as once more rejected.
“Okay, nice, you need an APAC group? I even acquired [redacted] able to take the TALON gamers, and the organisation mentioned, ‘Effective, for a one-year lease, it’s okay,’” FrosT added.
“So there’s no method you possibly can have a look at me in good religion and say, ‘Oh, the organisation you introduced wasn’t at TALON’s calibre.’ […] However regardless of the cause, it doesn’t make sense to me as a result of it’s not like FULL SENSE is best for VALORANT, and even, I might argue, Thai VALORANT.”
International Esports will return to the stage on January twenty ninth to start its Center Bracket run towards ZETA DIVISION.
FULL SENSE, then again, acquired the vast majority of TALON’s roster and has received each of its matches towards ZETA DIVISION and DRX. The group will compete towards Nongshim RedForce on January thirty first for a spot within the Higher Last.
