FaZe Clan announced its revamped lineup on April 27 just days ahead of its S2C1 debut in the Upper Round of 32.
The FaZe Valorant roster swapped out three of its five members since its exit from VCT Stage 1 2022 at the hands of the Andbox, who has since rebranded to NYFU.
Its early 2022 roster failed to make it into Challengers after bowing out in the second Open Qualifier, which saw them miss the first international LAN event of the year.
