The move comes after TALON finished fourth at Pacific Kickoff and failed to qualify for Masters Bangkok.
Governor shared that he was an unrestricted free agent, but that he will take a short break from professional Valorant. He also revealed that the next roster of the team could finally comm in Thai, perhaps hinting at an all-Thai roster.
Governor and ban both joined TALON in the offseason ahead of the 2024 VCT season. The Korean duo's signings ushered in a new era of TALON that saw the Thailand-based organization move away from fielding an all-Thai roster.
ban has been in pro Valorant since its very beginning, debuting in 2020 with

, who moved its focus from the US to South Korea. After one season with T1 mainly as the team's Controller player, ban joined TALON.
ban's role with TALON has been fluid since joining, with his play in 2023 mostly being on the Initiator and Sentinel roles. While there has been experimentation with him as a Duelist on Phoenix and Yoru, he seemed to fully settle into the Sentinel role last year, but during Kickoff played all four agent roles.
Governor also spent time in the American Challengers scene, playing alongside ban on Squirtle Squad during his first stint with the team in 2021. Since making his debut in 2020, he's had stops at

's Duelist player in 2023, but has also had a rather undefined role since arriving.
After starting his TALON career as the team's Duelist, Governor's role changed as the team looked for a change in results. After missing both Masters events in the season, his agent pool expanded from just playing Duelist. He played maps as the team's Initiator on KAY/O and Sova, while also playing Clove on the team's 'zombie comp' on Ascent.
