Disguised, the esports organization founded by the popular content creator Disguised Toast, is gearing up for a significant shift in its competitive focus.
In a move that’s stirring up the VALORANT Challengers scene, Disguised is reportedly set to enter the Southeast Asian region for the 2024 season, marking a strategic pivot from its previous foray in North America.
The news, brought to light by APAC VALORANT reporter Tanmay, indicates that Disguised is on the verge of signing a roster primarily composed of Singaporean talent for the Challengers Malaysia and Singapore circuit.
This includes notable names like juicy, Retla, and JayH, all former players of Bleed Esports, hinting at a potential powerhouse in the making.
The inclusion of Bleed’s former stars in Disguised’s lineup has sparked speculation about a possible partnership or affiliate relationship between the two organizations. This notion is further bolstered by the shared history of both Bleed and DSG’s head coaches in the German Counter-Strike scene, as well as the collaboration last year with Bleed superstar Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker.
Disguised’s expansion into the Southeast Asian VALORANT scene comes after a period of reassessment and strategic redirection.
Following a lackluster performance in the North American Challengers, despite the high-profile acquisition of yay, the organization released its entire roster in early June, sparking questions about its future in VALORANT.
However, Disguised Toast’s organization has not been idle. Beyond VALORANT, it has undertaken a visual rebrand, beefed up its management with a new team operations manager, and ventured into other gaming titles like Teamfight Tactics and Apex Legends. In League of Legends, Disguised is also making strides, aiming to defend its title as the NA Challengers champions.
The move to Southeast Asia represents more than just a change of scenery for Disguised. It’s a strategic decision that reflects the organization’s adaptability and commitment to finding its footing in the competitive landscape of VALORANT. The region, known for its passionate fanbase and burgeoning esports scene, offers a fresh start and a new set of challenges for the organization.
The organization’s “big plans” for 2024 signal a renewed vigor and a determination to make a mark in the global esports arena, starting with a promising venture into Southeast Asia’s VALORANT Challengers.
