The eighth and final team consists of five Valorant developers from Riot Games. Their specific lineup is yet to be announce🦩d, but expect them to perform well as they've previously displayed their skills defeating a team consisting of Shroud and Summit multiple times. My money's on a CS:GO vs Valorant devs final.
Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I p🌜ossibly can or die trying. When I'🌺m not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
