Valiance and Vexite join Vertex

4-7-2022 12:37

The squad is looking to challenge the best in Oceania with the signing of the former ORDER duo.

VERTEX have announced the signings of Declan "⁠Vexite⁠" Portelli and Matthew "⁠Valiance⁠" Hartrick, completing their lineup after the removal of James "⁠Roflko⁠" Lytras and Tom "⁠apocdud⁠" Henry which followed a failed ESL Pro League Conference appearance. The changes come amidst the Oceanic shuffle season, which saw numerous roster moves go down.

Vexite and Valiance found themselves looking for options following ORDER's acquisition of the former Renegades roster headlined by Joshua "⁠INS⁠" Potter and Alistair "⁠aliStair⁠" Johnston. Following two months out of action, they have a new home in VERTEX.

17-year-old Vexite is a stand-out talent in the region

VERTEX's last outing was at the ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference tournament in Sweden, where the Oceanic squad didn't make a mark. One-sided losses to Illuminar and Falcons resulted in swift elimination, one that was matched by domestic rivals Encore. The region's pride, ORDER, also failed to qualify for ESL Pro League groups, returning home with just a win over Encore to complete a disappointing event for Oceania.

With two of the old ORDER's standout players in Valiance and Vexite, VERTEX will be hoping they can challenge the domestic competition and secure international trips more regularly going forward.

VERTEX are now:

Australia Liam "⁠malta⁠" Schembri
Australia Toby "⁠BRACE⁠" Barnes
Australia Jordan "⁠pz⁠" White
Australia Declan "⁠Vexite⁠" Portelli
Australia Matthew "⁠Valiance⁠" Hartrick

The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

There's Order and Vertex, also Encore. I wish Renegades would come back with an azr/jks squad but that's unlikely.

With no serious sponsors and one guy funding it, they dont count in my book, probably fold in 6-12 months time after burning through all the owner's money.

Is this bait? The article you link to says season 16, not season 13... According to Liquipedia, there was no conference in s13 of EPL.

I meant to refer to the event's name being ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference not ESL Pro League Season 16 Conference Stage. There is a typo. I hope it is clearer to you now.
