Valorant superstar Jaccob “yay” Whiteaker recently provided an update on his future plans following his departure from Jeremy “Disguised Toast” Wang’s DSG roster.
The Masters Reykjavik 2022 champion took to his stream on July 11 to shed light on his next move.
Yay explained he is committed to returning to the Valorant pro scene next year. In addition, he expressed his willingness to join any team, stating, “I’ll play anything at this point.”
Yay’s free agency plans for the VCT 2024 season
Yay confirmed that he is no longer a part of DSG, a tier 2 team he joined a month after he was released by Cloud9 after VCT LOCK//IN.
DSG’s performance in the North American Challengers Split saw them relegated from the tier 2 scene after failing to secure a win in both the group stage and play-in tournament.
While yay did not provide a definitive answer regarding his next move, he explained that he is waiting for the conclusion of the Valorant Champions 2023 and the international league’s Last Chance Qualifiers.
Most teams are expected to make roster changes during the offseason, and that’s when yay will start seeking new opportunities.
Furthermore, yay hinted that he could join two of North America’s most popular Valorant teams in the offseason.
“I’m just waiting for the Sentinels versus 100 Thieves game because whoever losses that game will be fired,” he said. “Spots will be opened up.”
According to yay, the losing team of this single-elimination match will likely go through roster changes in the offseason, providing him new opportunities.
Yay was once considered the best Valorant player in the world when he was with OpTic Gaming in 2022. He was crucial to OpTic’s success, powering them to a championship win at Masters Reykjavik and top-three finishes at Masters Copenhagen and Valorant Champions 2022.
Yay joining Sentinels or 100 Thieves could push either team to become top contenders in the Americas League next season.
