Luminosity Luminosity Inactive moose Kaleb Jayne mada Adam Pampuch dazzLe Will Loafman bdog Brandon Sanders TiGG Tanner Spanu has announced the team is splitting with two of their longest-rostered players, Diondre "YaBoiDre" Bond and Alex "aproto" Protopapas. Both players became inactive on the LG roster toward the end of 2021, following LG's elimination from the VCT.

Luminosity Gaming

@Luminosity

For the past year, both @OfficialAproto and @YaBoiDre have been integral parts of VALORANT Roster.
And today, we say goodbye.

We appreciate both Dre and Aproto’s contributions to our roster and their efforts in 2021. We wish you two the best moving forward. ❤️

aproto first joined Luminosity as part of the organization's original Valorant roster alongside his teammates on the MIXUP MIXUP Inactive aproto Alex Protopapas Hoppin Charles Clapper fiziq Lucas Blow stellar Brenden McGrath thief Brady Dever roster. He became one of the team's core three players while the organization tinkered with the final two it needed to compete with North America's best teams.

Luminosity found that pair in February 2021 when it brought in YaBoiDre and Kaleb "moose" Jayne. Immediately, the team soared to new heights, finishing third in its first two Challengers events of the year and in the top six in Masters 1.

But Luminosity once again began making changes as the roster failed to find the same level of success in the latter stages of the year. The organization benched two of its original core three in late May, and made a few more changes to fill out its roster afterwards.

Now, Luminosity has just one player remaining from its strong Stage 1 performance to start 2021: moose. He is currently joined by Will "dazzLe" Loafman and Tanner "TiGG" Spanu.

LG will need to add two more players before the start of the 2022 VCT season.

The Luminosity Luminosity Inactive moose Kaleb Jayne mada Adam Pampuch dazzLe Will Loafman bdog Brandon Sanders TiGG Tanner Spanu roster is currently:

Kaleb "moose" Jayne
Will "dazzLe" Loafman
Tanner "TiGG" Spanu
Jared "mac" Schneider (Head Coach)

Why does this article have a Canadian flag, both Aproto and Dre are from the U.S. and it says LG is an org from the U.S.

The org luminosity is a Canadian org hence the flag on the article. However the way vlr.gg and over.gg display flags is generally based on where the majority of players come from/the team operates, with some exceptions like the OWL teams given the flag of their city's country and European mix teams given an EU flag

One of the main reasons teams were struggling to sign both Aproto and YaBoiDre was due to their contract buyouts with LG. This should help both get onto a roster before the start of VCT but we are only 2 weeks away so nothing is promised. Also, as it's been reported before Mada and Bdog (from TSM Academy) are expected to complete the roster.

Dre asked to be a FA only a hour after they lost to GenG Im pretty sure it had nothing to do with his contract

See that's how I thought VLR worked, and with moose being the only canadian it still doesn't make sense to me

There is a difference between asking to be a FA and actually becoming a FA. LG was trying to sell him this entire time and now he can freely sign with anyone.
