TNL Esports parted ways with eKo and Hate

South Korean organization TNL Esports announced changes in the VALORANT roster, saying goodbye to eKo and Hate. The organization announced this on its Twitter.

As the organization explained, eKo will take a hiatus from the professional player's career, while Hate will look for a new team. This news should be connected with the recent departure from the fAwn team, who was the head coach of TNL Esports for six months.

eKo was the founder of the original lineup of the team, with which he instantly took second place in First Strike Korea. Hate joined the team in May, helping TNL Esports rank 1-4 in VCT 2021: Korea Stage 3 Challengers.

Since TNL Esports finished 3-4th in VCT 2021: Korea Stage 3 Challengers Playoffs, the team did not score enough points to qualify for the VALORANT Champions Tour 2021: APAC Last Chance Qualifier.

From now on, the TNL Esports roster is as follows:

• TS.
• exy.
• Meteor.
• bail (trainer).
