Look, my experience with playing games competitively is minimal, but the one thing I do know is that losing can feel real bad. Thankfully, I only have a handful of friends and strangers to witness my poor performances. But when you're a newly-formed team under a hugely popular streamer on a seven-loss streak in a major Valorant tournament, I'm sure those Ls hit a hell of a lot harder.
That's the problem Jeremy "Disguised Toast" Wang has found himself in. The OfflineTV member decided to get into esports earlier this year, rounding up a team of pro Valorant players to tackle the game's Challengers 2023 tournament under the moniker DSG. It's a pretty strong team, too—a large chunk of the roster came from playing competitive CS:GO, with recent additions like Jacob "yay" Whiteaker coming from huge organisations like OpTic Gaming and Cloud9.
