X10 CRIT has assembled a fresh all-Thai roster for the 2022 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) SEA. The lineup features rising stars garnetS, Flukky, SeveN89, xcool, and NotXD, all talented players from Thailand.
The organization had been without a full roster since January 4, following the departure of four players. They operated shorthanded since December, when star in-game leader Patiphan Chaiwong returned to competitive Overwatch.
The key question now is whether this new squad can match or surpass the achievements of X10's previous roster. Under Patiphan's leadership, the team competed in two major international events in 2021: VCT 2021: Stage 2 Masters Reykjavík and VALORANT Champions, where they stunned Envy in the group stage and claimed a map off Gambit in the quarterfinals.
"We believe in nurturing young talent and providing opportunities to compete at the highest level," X10 CRIT stated in their official announcement. Their previous roster was also youth-focused, reflecting the organization's commitment to developing players in Riot Games' tactical FPS.
garnetS, Flukky, SeveN89, xcool, and NotXD will make their debut under the X10 CRIT banner at VCT Thailand Stage 1 Challengers, running February 10-27. The event features 16 teams vying for three spots at APAC Challengers in March, with X10 entering as favorites thanks to their proven track record.
