Valorant: CSGO exodus continues as former Team Liquid star makes the switch

It hasn’t even been 2 months since the closed beta was released, and Riot Games’ latest shooter Valorant, is already seeing a lot of professionals looking to seek a career in it.

For now, there have primarily been some CS: GO and Overwatch players joining the Valorant ranks; however, the list is expanding each day.

From, Tenz, to Brax, to even ScreaM, a lot of CS: GO pros have left the Valve tactical shooter for the one from Riot, and Jdm64 is the latest addition.

JDM finally ends CSGO struggle to enter Valorant

Joshua “jdm64” Marzano, in a recent tweet, said his final goodbyes to CS: GO. It was a decision that he took during his 30th birthday, as he felt that CS: GO has nothing more left to offer him, as he has been playing the game for 18-20 years now.

Today I turn 30. Been playing CS for about 18 to 20 years now and I've decided it's time for a new chapter. I'm making the switch to compete in @PlayVALORANT and am looking for a team/org to represent. Let's get creative and build something to remember. Feel Free to DM me

Jdm64 has made his name in Team Liquid, where he helped the squad achieve the “3rd-4th position at ESL One: New York 2016, 3rd-4th position at ESL Pro League S5, 5th-6th position at ECS S3, 5th-8th position at ESL One: Cologne 2017 and 2nd position at ESL One: New York 2017.”

However, when his career and performance went on a decline, Joshua joined up with Team Envy during September of 2019 for a very short span.

Now he wants to have a professional career in Valorant and is looking for an organization to represent. “Let’s get creative and build something to remember,” he says in his Tweet; it just goes to show how optimistic he is about his future in Valorant.
