It seems that Turtle Troop’s dreams of signing with streamer and former Overwatch pro xQc have been dashed. According to Turtle Troop player Peter ‘Governor’ No, xQc had led the team on for a month before backing out of the deal without any explanation. This news has been met with a lot of frustration from both camps, as Turtle Troop remains the only unsigned team in the NA Valorant Challengers league.
xQc has since addressed the controversy in his own Twitch stream, admitting that he “definitely should’ve communicated more” and still pledging to pay the players for their troubles. With the second split of the NA Valorant Challengers league set to start in two weeks, it looks like Turtle Troop will have to look for another team to sign with.
It’s always a disappointment when a team’s dreams of signing with a content creator or esports team falls through. But with the second split of the NA Valorant Challengers league fast approaching, Turtle Troop will have to move on and find another team to sign with. With the right team and the right attitude, Turtle Troop could still make a splash in the second split of the NA Valorant Challengers league.
