This is truly heartbreaking. I hope by the time Champions is around, they can actually get their visa approved and play on Champions. I wish the best of luck for BREN Esports qualifications for Valorant Champions.

I would say that they would probably undergo a massive roster change. Currently they have 4 duelists: Wardell on Jett, Subroza and Drone usually play Duelist and lastly their new duelist, bang. I can see that Subroza can be very flexible between using an iniatiator or a duelist but I can't see that drone would be very flexible as other. Hazed is a sentinel main and being an IGL as a sentinel is better so that he could focus on actually leading the team and not focus on entry (as it is the job for duelist). If wardell were more flexible between duelist agents and actually choose an agent depending on the map and the team, imo they could change things around but as of now if he keeps being a Jett one trick, I don't think they would qualify.

It's been a while since I heard "Happy"

They do by choosing which comp to play in different maps, how each player were set on one site (or changeup whenever they want). They trust their decision making and game sense more but they way they defend or attack a site depends on the call so that counts as a strat. Fnatic do have a better setup post-plan (viper molly or brim molly which imo is very boring but a viable tactic) and attacking site but they really really depends on their setup.

I believe that they did not utilize brax enough in the challengers series. They had a lot of strategies to choose from like replacing Cutler with brax (Brax played controller before). In my opinion, Wardell also have to start working on other agents since his jett is always so predictable but his aim and mechanical skill for jett is really good but if he played other agents / other duelist, it would be better. Drone couldn't show his phoenix plays much because the duelist is always Wardell or Subroza.

(This is all my opinion. If you disagree please do give a feedback!)
