Alliance round out roster with xms

Earlier in February, Alliance decided to let go of Vilius "krea6on" Malinauskas despite being the first team from Europe to qualify for VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - Europe Masters. This left a vacant spot on Alliance’s roster since then, and now it has been filled by none other than Alexandre "xms" Forté.

The French is a former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player who switch to VALORANT at the beginning of the year. During his career playing Valve’s tactical shooter, he was part of Team Envy, Team Heretics, Team LDLC, among others.

He managed to pick up the ESL Championnat National Summer 2019 and the DreamHack Open Atlanta 2017 trophies. Not only that, he finished 3rd-4th in both the CS:GO Asia Championships 2018 and the DreamHack Open Winter 2017, alongside a 2nd place finish in the Europe Minor Championship Boston 2018.

As for his VALORANT career, he managed to be part of wesh guys, Almost International, and he is coming over to Alliance from Team Finest. His first event, the Underdogs - January 2021, xms managed to place 5th-6th. Following that tournament, he won the Nicecactus February Trophy - Qualifier #2 and most recently managed to finish in 9th-16th during the VCT 2021 - Stage 1 - Europe - Challengers 3 - Open Qualifier.
