Earlier today, Global Esports released a video announcing their latest signing. The video, however, did not reveal the name or image of this new player, leaving fans guessing.
The suspenseful announcement trailer began with a cinematic video, followed by a compilation of in-game clips with all the identifiable details blurred out. Although Global Esports didn't disclose the name of their latest signing, the clips made it clear that the player in question was XSET's former in-game leader (IGL), AYRIN.
The clips featured in this trailer were taken from XSET's matches against teams like XERXIA and Knights, as confirmed by Sportskeeda and various other members of the community. At the same time, various XSET members reacted to Global Esports' tweet, hinting further at AYRIN's arrival.
Earlier on September 28, 2022, Global Esports announced their intentions to build a roster of 10 players, which would include their existing players as well as new additions. The 10-man team is expected to begin training at the organization's bootcamp in Seoul, South Korea, after which a roster of 6 players will be finalized.
Global Esports currently fields a roster of six Indian Valorant players. After AYRIN's move has been finalized, the organization's roster for VCT 2023 will be as such:
- Ganesh "SkRossi" Gangadhar
- Bhavin "HellrangeR" Kotwani
- Akshay "KappA" Sinkar
- Jayanth "skillZ" Ramesh
- Abhirup "Lightningfast" Choudhury
- Pranav "Kohliii" Kohli
- Jordan "AYRIN" He
Who is AYRIN?
AYRIN is a former professional CrossFire player who began his esports career at the age of 16. After an illustrious career in esports, he made the switch to Valorant. He spent the last two years competing for XSET in the North American circuit of Valorant Champions Tour.
AYRIN was a key member of the XSET roster that won the VCT 2022: North America Stage 2 Challengers. He also represented the team at the last two international VCT events - the Masters: Copenhagen and Champions 2022: Istanbul.
The 26-year-old player is a versatile talent known to play a variety of in-game roles in Valorant. Although he is generally seen playing Controller and Sentinel roles in recent tournaments, AYRIN is a potent Duelist known for his performance as Raze.
AYRIN's potential acquisition is just the first step in Global Esports' efforts to build a world-class roster. Indian fans of Valorant can expect the organization to make many such additions in the near future to compete at the same level as their competitors in the VCT Pacific League.
