Valiance has already featured for VERTEX in the past, albiet briefly, playing 11 maps for the squad mid-way through 2022. He left the team shortly after joining and did not feature in a HLTV-recorded match for the rest of the year.

Since returning to VERTEX's ranks Valiance has helped the squad earn second-place finishes at back-to-back CCT events, losing in the final to Rooster both times.
