Andbox part ways with jcStani

Andbox Andbox Inactive oderus Chad Miller mummAy Anthony DiPaolo Lear Dayton Akau Jonaaa6 Jonard Penaflor vice Daniel Kim have announced the departure of Noah "jcStani" Smith.

Andbox

@andbox_official

Today, we wish @jcStani farewell. We are grateful for his time with the Andbox VALORANT squad and wish him nothing but the best as he pursues other endeavors.

jcStani initially joined Andbox back in May after entering free agency from Immortals just a few weeks prior. During his time on Andbox, he and the team participated in Stage 3 Challengers 1 and 2, but both times suffered losses in the round of 16 in 2-1 scorelines to Gen.G and TSM respectively.

The departure of jcStani brings the Andbox player count down to three players. In early July, the team said goodbye to Sebastian "seb" Bucki, which eventually led the team to bring in Zander "thwifo" Kim on a loan from XSET for Stage 3 Challengers 2. That loan recently expired, and thwifo has returned to being an inactive member of the XSET roster.

This roster change comes after a report by George Geddes of Upcomer, who stated that more changes are coming for the Andbox roster. Three players were reportedly absent from practice recently, two of which were the aforementioned thwifo and jcStani. The third player was reportedly Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker, who has supposedly had several teams looking to add him to their roster.

Andbox failed to qualify for the Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs, and can no longer qualify for Masters: Berlin or the Last Chance Qualifiers in October. They can enter into the monthly Nerd Street Gamers and Knights Monthly Gauntlet tournaments, but have not made an appearance in such an event since the Nerd Street Gamers March monthly, where they finished second behind Cloud9 Blue.

The roster of Andbox Andbox Inactive oderus Chad Miller mummAy Anthony DiPaolo Lear Dayton Akau Jonaaa6 Jonard Penaflor vice Daniel Kim is now:

Daniel "vice" Kim
Jaccob "yay" Whiteaker
Adam "mada" Pampuch
Matt "Warden" Dickens (Head coach)
Gordan "g0g1" Prošić (Assistant coach)

Would be an awesome addition for any team, bar Sentinels maybe. But its not like the top teams have bad duelists they would be happy to drop. Maybe if 100T switch up comps or NV

Depends on how the Berlin qualification goes next week. If some top teams end up flopping and not qualifying then they could easily move for yay.

Maybe yay for mummAy?

Yay is definitely an upgrade on the agents mummay and yay play. But then NV need to drop someone and its not like they have a bad player (maybe if they cant get Marved and move mummy back on his former role). Kinda feels like we need more T1 teams

The thing is I don’t think andbox would drop Yay, my thought is he was bought out.

Yay should 100% get signed to a Tier 1 team. He is definitely in the top 5 duelists in NA, and he deserves it. Pending if Envy signs Marved (since he is still on loan), Envy should drop mummay for Yay, as yay's jett is a far improvement over mummay's jett. I could also see LG dropping ban for yay as well, because ban has not been playing as well recently will his Jett. Plus Yay + dreyna would be an absolute menace to defend against.

Already? Didn't he join the team like less than a month ago? Recently, he was playing pretty good too until the TSM game.

i think they just want to go full rebuild, i agree it's tough for him but ABX are 100% out of LCQ and VCT 2021 so it makes sense

Surely not the only org looking to make changes now. Lots of T2 probably disbanding as well with no VCT coming up anymore

Easy for small minds to shit on roster ideas. Much harder for small minds to suggest a roster that would be better.

Without making predictions on cs stars switching, or other t1 rosters dissolving, come up with a better roster.

Andersin is arguably the best T2 viper.
Seven is 15 and has the potential to be the next yay.
Sinatraa is BY FAR the best FA in Valorant.

This roster is the only one I can think of that would come close to the strength of the roster that just dissolved.

Ok now lets step back into reality for a sec.

Andersin has stated that he won't leave DarkZero and has gotten T1 offers and declined in the past
Seven is cool but people love to talk a lot about him when he hasn't proven very much and is obviously not ready for the T1 scene yet
And don't even get me started on Sinatraa, dude is a huge brand risk and few orgs care more about their brand than ABX. They're a highly respected org with a shit ton of sponsors and adding sinatraa would not be a good idea for them lol. I think everyone knows he's good lol but adding him to your team has a high chance of breaking up chemistry and hurting your org

"Their next chance to qualify for a major international event will be the Last Chance Qualifiers, which are set to begin in October."

Andbox are not even qualified for LCQ since they only have 20 points, and the teams that are in Challengers Finals with no points (TSM, Rise) are getting 40 points no matter what, eclipsing Andbox.

I just realized that they didn't have enough circuit points to qualify even for LCQ, which I incorrectly stated previously

The last part was updated to accurately reflect their situation

Def a good moment for a new org to enter Valorant by picking up 1 or 2 of these ABX players.
