“Having a real life mate who previously played with Paradox, and who now plays for ORDER in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Matthew "Valiance" Hartrick", helped us a lot. He has told me about how such an amazing and supportive organization they were in the past. Offer went out for us to join, we accepted contracts sent out and we signed in under 2 days,” Daniel “maz” Mazurkiewicz exclusively shared with THESPIKE.GG.

As for winter, he was a former professional Overwatch player, who played for Avant Gaming, Melbourne Mavericks, and the Sydney Drop Bears.

The experience of these two players will definitely be valuable as they come into VALORANT with their teammates.

“Searching for an organization consisted of many meetings with the representatives and owners of the organization. As soon as the team got contacted by the Director of Paradox Gaming, Chris Hillman and I had a meeting with him, and that night we knew it was the perfect home for us,” continued maz.
