Team BDS Team BDS Inactive bramz Bayram Ben Redjeb have confirmed the signing of the former Edelweiss Esports Edelweiss Esports Inactive mikee Michael Lim KONEQT Cista Adel player Guillaume "GatsH" Kalka, as previously reported by VLR.gg.
With GatsH at its forefront, Edelweiss has slowly crawled through the European ranks and have shown promise as a rising French squad. Most recently, they matched their best VCT placement, finishing in the top-16 of the Challengers open qualifier. The squad was also very close to qualifying for the Valorant Open Tour France Main Event, scoring a record top-eight finish.
BDS, meanwhile, look to re-establish themselves in the top flight of Europe. After being on the brink of qualifying for the Stage 2: EMEA Challengers Playoffs, the team started off Stage 3 with a disappointing performance, losing two straight games after being invited directly to the Challengers closed qualifier.
In spite of their early exit, the team's bottom four placement still gave them automatic seeding into Challengers 2 alongside Rix.GG Thunder Rix.GG Thunder Inactive Mickebwoy Mikołaj Chojnacki memset Laurent Werly LATEKS Oliwer Fahlander frei Aaron Frei Luzuh Joseph Loose , Team Liquid Team Liquid Europe Rank #20 paTiTek Patryk Fabrowski kamyk Maks Rychlewski nAts Ayaz Akhmetshin Keiko Georgio Sanassy kamo Kamil Frąckowiak and FNATIC FNATIC Europe Rank #3 crashies Austin Roberts Boaster Jake Howlett kaajak Kajetan Haremski Chronicle Timofey Khromov Alfajer Emir Ali Beder .
