Gambit has allowed its players to participate in the VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA under a neutral name. The team has not yet taken part in matches since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24.
"This remains a very difficult time for everyone, at least for all of us, including family and friends living in Ukraine," Gambit said on social media today. Said. “We sincerely wish that the tournaments will continue and that the players focus on competition and sportsmanship. That's why we've made the decision to continue our players, Redgar, Chronicle, d3ffo, Sheydos and nAts as an independent team in the upcoming VCT tournament.”
According to Gambit in-game lead Redgar, the team is preparing to take part in VCT EMEA under the name “M3C”.
Riot Games has canceled the third week of the European competition due to the conflict in Ukraine. Then, three games were played from week four, and 10 more were played last weekend. However, Gambit did not participate. Riot didn't mention the team's absence during this period.
Gambit made a similar decision to the CS:GO roster with the VALORANT roster. On March 11, the organization announced that its players would be allowed to compete in ESL Pro League Season 15 under a neutral hood.
