The Contenders: A Look at the Participating Teams
Spotlight on 100 Thieves and the Boostio Factor
One of the main draws of the Ludwig x Tarik Invitational 2 is the much-anticipated debut of Kelden “Boostio” Pupello with 100 Thieves. Boostio’s move from Evil Geniuses, where he was a part of their victorious VALORANT Champions 2023 campaign, has been the talk of the town. Now, as the new IGL for 100 Thieves, alongside players like Peter “Asuna” Mazuryk and Sean “bang” Bezerra, Boostio is set to make a splash. His strategic depth and in-game leadership will be crucial for 100 Thieves as they navigate this competitive field.
Cloud9 and the Rising Star OXY
Another team to watch closely is Cloud9, especially with their new duelist, Francis “OXY” Hoang. OXY has already made a name for himself, contributing significantly to Cloud9’s win at the TEN VALORANT Global Invitational. His aggressive playstyle and sharp in-game instincts make Cloud9 a formidable opponent in any matchup.
