Amidst the bustling esports landscape, Nagoya OJA has proudly declared the inception of its VALORANT division, welcoming aboard a formidable ensemble comprising Skyfull, KLM, dream3r, Ryuya, NinGDO, coach Kou, and tatuo.
The vibrant esports entity, hailing from Nagoya City in Aichi Prefecture, officially unveiled this strategic move on January 18th.
Nagoya OJA, deeply rooted in Nagoya, stands as a beacon of esports prowess. Its corporate allies, including Oyatsu Company, Yamamori, and NTP Group from the Tokai region, provide steadfast sponsorship.
Presently, the team thrives across three divisions: card games, fighting games, and baseball games.
In this grand assembly of talent, Skyfull and KLM, now known as Kosuke and Daichi, bring their seasoned expertise to the table.
Accompanying them is dream3r, a Russian virtuoso with a history in Eva:e, and NinGDO (formerly known as GwangUH), a distinguished player from Maru Gaming.
Adding to the allure, tatuo, a luminary with world championship experience in CSO, assumes a dual role as both coach and player, having displayed prowess as part of DOPENESS in the previous year.
The newly minted VALORANT division roster for Nagoya OJA is as follows:
- Daichi
- Kosuke
- Ryuya
- dream3r
- NinGDO
Kou as coach, and tatuo as coach. This formidable squad is poised to grace the opening rounds of the VCJ 2023 Split 1 qualifiers, commencing on the 22nd of this month. Their inaugural challenge awaits in Group C against the formidable IGZIST.
