Cairns, who will be in the starting line-up joined the North American esports franchise in January and Harrison “psalm” Chang was moved to the inactive roster.

The player quickly rose to star status upon joining The Guard and has been an important part of their improvement since the start of the year.

During his stint, the player assisted the team to move from tier 2 competitions to represent the North American region in international Valorant tournaments.? ?

Despite The Guard not making it to Riot Games�� franchising, trent will continue his tenure with them.

The Guard became a force to reckon with in North America after the team participated in the VCT Stage One Challengers in March.

During the online tournament, they defeated prominent teams like OpTic Gaming, Luminosity, Cloud9, and Sentinels.? ?The NA squad finished in first place during the event and earned a slot in the VCT Stage One: Masters Reykjav��k. That was the end of their victory run, as The Guard did not win a single match in the tournament.? ?

The squad suffered disappointing losses at the hands of OpTic Gaming and Paper Rex. They were then just one win away from qualifying for the 2022 World Championship after losing to 100 Thieves in the NA Last Chance Qualifiers.? ?

Trent��s performance on the squad made him stand out and as a result, several Valorant teams clamoured for him during the off-season. The Sentinels were the most prominent outfit that wanted the player. However, the teams were unable to reach an understanding.?

?For a time, the Evil Geniuses were interested in trent. If the player had been signed to any of the squads, he would have had a secure path to the American 2023 league, but it was not to be.?

?Besides his reputation as a flexible controller, trent is also an impressive initiator player, known for his use of Sova and Skye. He has used both agents to carry out several plays that surprised and delighted esports fans.? ?

One of trent��s more popular performances was during The Guard��s tier 1 competition debut in the NA scene, where they faced off against Luminosity Gaming.? ?

Although he will remain in The Guard��s plans for 2023, the team experienced other changes. Matthew “mCe” Elmore, the former head coach of The Guards, has been signed to Cloud9 along with Mateja “qpert” Mijovi?, the assistant coach.? ?W

hile mCe will continue his coaching career in Cloud9, qpert signed on as a player. Ha “Sayaplayer” Jung-woo also left The Guard to join the Korean Valorant scene.

The player signed with T1, who were selected for the VCT Pacific league.? ?Among the starting five players of The Guard, three are currently inactive.

The players, Jacob “valyn” Batio, Jonah “JonahP” Pulice, and Michael “neT” Bernet may not return to active status soon, but they were also allowed to consider other offers.?

?At the moment, The Guard will need to sign a new coaching staff to replace mCe and qpert, along with at least one new player to take the place of SayaPlayer.

Trent, who is arguably one of the best players on the squad, will continue with The Guard despite them having to play in the North American Challengers tier.? ?If the NA squad wins the new Ascension tournament, they will qualify for a spot in Valorant��s partnership league in 2024.

The post Valorant player Trent ��trent�� Cairns to rejoin The Guard appeared first on Esport Bet.

?Coach Mathew “mCe” Elmore has ruled the loss as a result of the inability of the team’s rising star, Trent “trent” Cairns, to listen to music during the competition. While he has always been listening to music during his games prior to this time, he was prevented from doing so at the VCT Masters Reykjav��k in Iceland. ??His go-to method of reducing edginess and retaining focus was apparently not allowed on LAN.

With his ability to listen to music hampered, the 17-year old couldn’t perform at his best, thereby losing the game.??

His coach – a.k.a. ‘the Guard-father’ – disclosed in an interview the difficulties the team have had to face adapting to LAN in Reykjavik, as compared to their boot camp in Texas. These differences he suggested would be addressed if the players learn to adapt to the “standard setups”.

??��The guys have got to get used to more standard setups,�� mCe suggested.

��Trent listens to music while he plays, and [he wasn��t] allowed to listen to music here. It could be a nerves thing that helps him calm down, and these are things that we learned that were too late to try and switch.��

??When trent found out he was not allowed to listen to music, he was shocked. So was mCe when he found out that his player had been beating the best of NA VALORANT with music blasting as his focus tool. The player’s talent was witnessed during the NA Challengers group stage and playoffs as he solidified himself as a rising star. ??

��I found out when we got here he was listening to music,�� mCe said.

��Today mid-match he opened Spotify and realized that he was actually super nervous and uncomfortable. He asked the admin if he could play music, [but] the admin said ��no’.��??

The coach admitted that all his players, including Michael “neT” Bernet, Jacob “valyn” Batio, Jonah “JonahP” Pulice, and Ha “Sayaplayer” Jung-woo, were nervous, but trent had it worse with Masters Reykjavik being his first event on the big stage.??

��I don��t think [trent��s level of play] was as bad as trent thought,�� mCe said.

��I think he didn��t play up to his level and I think he got in his head because of it. Comments online are pretty brutal anytime you lose anything like this and I think it definitely got to the guys a little bit.��??

It was deduced that the young player’s playlist will likely include songs from Kanye West and Juice WRLD, but more especially those from Lil Uzi Vert.

The Guard-father has resorted to having the players take a well-deserved break as they have been very active since January 7.
