XSET signed kyno as a VALORANT player, announced on their twitter an hour ago.
kyno is a brazilian ex-Rainbow Six Siege player, he recently played in the North American League for Oxygen Esports, reaching Six Invitational, R6 most prestigious event, he recently retired from R6 esports looking for new opportunities and stated multiple times he wanted to switch to VALORANT.
XSET posted this tweet (https://twitter.com/XSET/status/1501241520233537545) and kyno updated his bio saying he's a professional valorant player for XSET now.
We dont know if kyno is actually going to be playing for the men's valorant team, especially considering how well they have been doing since adding cryocells, my theory is that he will occupy a substitute role (very useful considering COVID cases are always a possibility and stand-ins are very common at LANs, looking at CSGO mainly) but mainly focus on streaming.
It's definetely going to be fun to theorize about what role he would play in the lineup though, in R6 he was known for his supportive play, strong aim and clutching, maybe he'll play Sova roles, whats your take on the situation? Real addition or just a trolly way to introduce a streamer?
