VALORANT Report: Raise Your Edge Gaming to enter VALORANT with signings of Nbs and koldamenta

 Raise Your Edge Gaming have been scouting and looking to expand into VALORANT over the last few months, and are now finally getting their foot in the door with the signings of player, Jose Luis "koldamenta" Aranguren, and coach, Laurynas "Nbs" Kisielius. Koldamenta is reported to join as the only confirmed piece of the roster, signing on after his two-month stint with Movistar Riders. The Spaniard is most known for his Sova play, averaging a 1.11 KD and 213.4 ACS on the agent (Courtesy of vlr.gg ) but has shown adaptability, having officials on Raze, Sage, and Breach. Nbs is the other signing, coming in after the recent disbandment of nolpenki, a roster he coached and managed over the last eight months, helping them put together wins at Valorant Challenge 2, Trovo Challenge - Europe, and helping them qualify for the biggest European tournament to date, First Strike Europe.

I interviewed the Tournament Admin and TOURSTAT's representative, Limpopo, asking him whether the company was registered. Not only was it confirmed t...
