Ever since signing our first Valorant team in August 2024, we’ve learned a tremendous amount about the community, the scene, and the players.
We’ve been fortunate to work with some of the most talented individuals in women’s esports, securing national titles like the Holiday Games and making it to the grand finals in the National Women’s League.
Along the way, we’ve welcomed new fans, navigated highs and lows, trialed players, and tested different approaches.
Today, we’re entering a new phase. We are initiating a full rebuild, one that includes the creation of our first-ever Academy roster and a renewed focus on developing a main roster built around long-term structure, identity, and ambition.
As part of this process, we have a few important roster updates:
Minari, Nanisan, and Cee have been granted permission to explore other opportunities ahead of the upcoming Game Changers season. All three remain under contract with Fact Revolution and may still contribute as substitutes or in other roles during this transition period.
Additionally, Anka and Zara were released from their contracts earlier this spring and are no longer affiliated with the organization.
We’re also pleased to confirm that Coach Bates will stay on to lead the rebuild, focusing on player development and scouting as we work toward establishing a top-tier roster.
If you have any questions or if you’re a free agent, potential tryout, or just a fan of the scene, feel free to join our Discord: https://discord.com/invite/factrevolution
Recently, we announced the departures of both Zara and Anka. While this means we’re temporarily two players short for upcoming tournaments, we already have replacements lined up and will be announcing them soon. Until then, we’ll be using substitutions in our next couple of official matches.
We’re also excited to confirm that our Norwegian duo, Nanisan and Minari, will remain with us for the duration of their contracts, alongside our incredible German player, Cee.
We’d like to take this opportunity to show our appreciation for our great fans, and we can’t wait to reveal the new roster with you soon.
Vi i Fact Revolution vil rette en stor takk til SpareBank 1 Østfold-Akershus. Med deres støtte kan vi endelig realisere drømmen om å arrangere en åpen e-sportdag i «hjembyen vår», Moss. Dette er et prosjekt vi har satt i gang sammen med Moss kommune og Mossebibliotekene, og vi gleder oss til å dele denne opplevelsen med dere alle.
Denne dagen vil by på muligheten til å møte vårt kvinnelag, som nylig vant Norges største kvinneturnering i Valorant. De er ikke bare noen av de beste spillerne i landet, men også fantastiske forbilder for kvinner og unge jenter som ønsker et trygt og inkluderende miljø i e-sport og gaming. Gjennom dagen vil vi gi dere muligheten til å bli bedre kjent med spillerne våre, se hvordan de trener og konkurrerer, og få et innblikk i hvordan hverdagen som en e-sportutøver ser ut.
Vi håper at både store og små, uansett kjønn eller bakgrunn, finner veien til Moss denne dagen. Dette er en unik sjanse til å lære mer om e-sport, bli inspirert og få en morsom og lærerik opplevelse sammen med oss.
Arrangementet finner sted 15. februar hos Moss Bibliotek kl 12:00 – 16:00. Velkommen!
