Premier is expected to be one of the most inclusive competitions in Valorant. That is, compared to franchised, Tier 2, and Tier 3 tournaments, Premier offers Valorant players from all walks of life a chance to embark on an eSports journey. According to the teams at Riot Games, Premier would be the future of franchising and top-tier competition. Thus, many are trying to huddle up a top-notch team to make it to the playoffs and win the title.

Among them is Tarik, the CS: GO veteran. Tarik has been a prominent streamer of Valorant, and his watch parties garner more views than the Valorant official page. Now, Valorant’s biggest streamer is gearing up to make a Premier team with none other than Shroudy Rowdy. Shroud, who earlier was a CS player also ventured into Valorant eSports through his short stint at Sentinels.

Shroud is known to be an exquisite control player, and we cannot forget the prowess he showed at LCQ, especially at Breeze. Stewie2K will also join Tarik and Shroud, who has a CS background. As the fourth man of the team, Timmy aka iiTzTimmy, the popular streamer would join in.

Tarik and others are currently looking for a sentinel player who also can IGL. Currently, as Tier 2 competitions are also fully underway, chances of a talented IGL being available are minimum. But, Tarik may bring in Steel, who is currently not part of the DSG starting 5. Steel is one talented IGL, who earlier was part of 100 Thieves, and took DSG up the ladders in the Open Qualifiers.

Tarik also has BabyJ under consideration as well. He considers this to be just for fun play but feels that it would be great if they made it into franchising. According to Tarik, their Valorant roster may consist of the following role selections.

Shroud- Controller/Smokes

Stewie2K- Initiator
