On this week’s Showstopper, dephh joined hosts Yinsu Collins and Tyler “Fionn” Ezberger to reveal that he’d received a tempting offer from one of Europe’s biggest orgs, G2 Esports. A proposal he turned down for personal reasons.
dephh and his new team XSET took NA by storm at the first VALORANT Champions Tour Challengers of Stage 3. They finished second and secured a spot at the Challengers playoffs.
