Exalt leaves VALORANT’s Disguised Toast squad

VALORANT’s squad of popular YouTuber and streamer Disguised Toast has made a lineup change in the last few hours after a terrible loss to M80. It’s all about Drake “Exalt” Branly, who leaves the team’s lineup and becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Organizations at the highest competitive level are always looking to build a solid lineup that will allow them to fight for their different goals. But, on the other hand, teams in the Challengers division must also do so since their good results in the season depend on it, and thus, they could get the coveted quota for the 2024 VCT season.

Disguised releases Exalt

As mentioned, Disguised Toast’s VALORANT team has announced the departure of Drake “Exalt” Branly from its lineup. This move comes after the team was crushed in the VALORANT Challengers 2023: North America Split 1 – Group Stage by M80, the best team in Group B.

The team posted a message on their Twitter account saying that Exalt’s departure from the lineup saddens them. However, they also mention that the player was a fundamental part of their triumphs in the open qualifiers and that they will always be grateful to him for what he gave to the team. Finally, they point out that he was one of the players who helped establish Disguised in the VALORANT competitive scene.

Exalt was one of the players who have been part of the team since its inception last December. Since then, the 23-year-old has been the team’s second-best player in the NA Challengers tournament. According to VLR.gg, Exalt has a rating of 1.04, only behind Damion “XXiF” Cook, who has a rating of 1.05.

Separately, the team has announced that Exalt’s replacement in Disguised’s starting lineup for the remainder of Split will be Chris “riku” Piasecki.

Exalt announces he is a free agent

Following his departure from Disguised, the player announced on his Twitter account that he would become an unrestricted free agent. In addition, he also noted that he is ready to join any team, either in the Challengers division or the VCT Americas.

However, a few hours later, the player indicated that his departure from the team had been by mutual agreement. Exalt had received messages saying he had decided to leave the team to play for VCT Americas.

Future of Disguised

Disguised is in fourth place in Group B of the NA Challengers League with a 2-2 record. On the other hand, the team has already secured its ticket to the Mid-Season Face Off, as MAD Lions, the fifth-place team, has not won a single game in this Split.

Disguised’s next game will be on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, against TSM, so we will see Riku’s debut with the team.
