The last changes in the roster took place at the end of April this year. The organization sent bnj to the bench, who, after the end of the contract, moved to future rivals from the 9z Team, so the meeting will be fundamental for both sides.

The team quickly found a replacement for the departed staff: instead of bnj, the former member of the Keyd Stars - v1xen joined the roster, and JhoW took the position of coach.

Representatives of Latin America are similar in their situation to future opponents. After finishing Valorant Champions Tour 2022: Latin America South Stage 1 Challengers in 3rd place, the team did not qualify for Masters Reykjavik. The next stage of qualifications ended for the team again in 3rd place, and as a result, the team did not get to Masters Copenhagen, as a result of which they could not earn enough points. Before the end of the season, the team has 70 points, and 5th place in the overall standings.

The situation cannot be called unexpected, from the beginning of its creation the team has played exclusively at Tier C tournaments, so it is clear that it is too early for them to participate in the World Championship.
