VERTEX unveil Valiance

This will be the 23-year-old’s second stint with VERTEX, having briefly featured for the team in 2022.

VERTEX have officially announced the signing of Matthew "⁠Valiance⁠" Hartrick, having already played several tournaments with the rifler. The Australian side played their first match with their new addition on October 28.

The move completes the VERTEX roster after Liam "⁠malta⁠" Schembri recently retired from competitive play, the 28-year-old doing so after the conclusion of the team's winless run at IEM Sydney.

Valiance has already featured for VERTEX in the past, albiet briefly, playing 11 maps for the squad mid-way through 2022. He left the team shortly after joining and did not feature in a HLTV-recorded match for the rest of the year.

At the start of 2023 Valiance reappeared on HLTV, playing several games for VERTEX as a stand-in, before turning out for mix-teams like e-LEMON-ators and John Industries.

Since returning to VERTEX's ranks Valiance has helped the squad earn second-place finishes at back-to-back CCT events, losing in the final to Rooster both times.

VERTEX are now:

Australia Toby "⁠BRACE⁠" Barnes
Australia Jared "⁠hazr⁠" O'Bree
Australia Matthew "⁠Valiance⁠" Hartrick
Australia Jordan "⁠pz⁠" White
New Zealand Christian "⁠ADDICT⁠" Pendleton

Who actually takes Hungarian cs seriously? “Surprisingly” the answer to both our questions is some of the people who come from said countries. I care about aussie cs cos I’m from NZ and its the closest I can get to an NZ team. Though I am shocked you are taking shots champ, it’s not exactly like Hungary is meaningfully more successful is cs than AU.

bro conveniently forgot about how jks carried Renegades to a major quarter-final and then a semifinal in the next major, stood in for 2 seperate players on faze and still won katowice with them, AND has made 4th place or higher at 16 LANs over his career, also winning 5 of them 💀💀💀
