The VCT 2023 season is about to conclude with the final game in the Valorant Champions 2023, featuring Paper Rex and Evil Geniuses in the Grand Finals. While certain teams have had a very successful foray in the debut year of the franchising era, others have failed to perform well and are actively looking for roster changes to come back stronger.

The rostermania has already begun, with plenty of confirmed transfers and potential rumors floating around. Ahead of the off-season, this article will keep you updated on all the latest news regarding the VCT 2024 transfer window.


NRG Esports announces VCT 2024 roster with 2023 Champions winners

Confirming recent rumors, NRG announced their Valorant roster for the 2024 season. The org retained two of its players from the 2023 season, crashies and Victor. Joining them will be Marved from Sentinels, and Ethan and Demon1 from the 2023 Valorant Champions, Evil Geniuses. NRG's coaching staff remains the same, with Chet continuing his role as the head coach.

After the 2023 season concluded, NRG let go of its star players s0m and ardiis, along with the renowned IGL (in-game leader) FNS and sixth-man ethos. While the org has yet to get a sixth player for the upcoming season, the role of IGL will be handled by Ethan, as confirmed by Chet on X (formerly Twitter).

Mehmet "cNed" Yağız İpek officially departs Natus Vincere after a middling year with the team relative to what fans were expecting. Natus Vincere has signed Ardis "Ardiis" Svarenieks as his replacement. Ardiis was previously a part of the NRG roster. With this move, the Latvian will be reunited with his former FunPlus Phoenix teammates, with whom he famously won VCT Masters 2022: Copenhagen.

Spanish organization, Team Heretics, has unveiled the roster that will be fielded for the upcoming VCT season. The team will consist of MiniBoo, Boo, Benjyfishy, Wo0t, and Riens and will be led by coaches Neilzinho and Weber.

It must also be noted that Wo0t will only turn 18 years of age on March 16, 2024. Team Heretics is yet to announce a temporary replacement for the Turkish rookie.


El Diablo returns to tier-one Valorant

Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker is officially back in the tier-one scene as BLEED Esports, a recently promoted Singaporean organization, has signed the American superstar on a two-year contract.

Yay was notably absent for the VCT 2023 season except for the LOCK//IN tournament, where he was a part of Cloud9. The American team soon parted ways with the player, which perplexed many fans, considering his godlike form in 2022 and a decent showing at LOCK//IN. With yay's recent addition to the talented roster, BLEED Esports are shaping up to be major title contenders.


G2 Esports returns to Valorant and will compete in the 2024 VCT Americas League

G2 Esports have officially announced its return to the Valorant scene with the acquisition of The Guard's spot. The organization has managed to sign four former players of The Guard in JonahP, neT, valyn and Trent along with Head Coach JoshRT. G2 Esports will compete in the VCT Americas League in the 2024 and 2025 VCT season.


Evil Geniuses shock the transfer window with bizarre news

The VCT 2023 World Champions, Evil Geniuses, have allowed their entire championship-winning roster to explore their options. The added clause is that the players would be forced to take a pay cut if they do stay with the organization for the VCT 2024 season. This comes off as shocking news for many fans, considering the recent success the team has had.

The community has been quick to criticize Evil Geniuses for this puzzling move and it is highly likely that the individuals in the roster are signed by different teams.
