X10 CRIT has assembled a new lineup for the VALORANT Champions Tour this year. GarnetS, Flukky, SeveN89, xcool, and NotXD, all up-and-coming Thai talents, will now make up the VCT SEA team. X10 CRIT didn’t have a squad from January 4. As there four players were released in December. As their superstar Patiphan Chaiwong decided to return to professional Overwatch.
Will this new lineup be able to match, if not outperform, the previous X10 lineup?

The Thai team, led by Patiphan’s brilliance, qualified for two major tournaments in 2021: the VCT Masters Two Reykjavik and the famous VALORANT Champions, where they defeated Envy in the group stage and defeated Gambit in the quarterfinals.
GarnetS, Flukky, SeveN89, xcool, and NotXD are will make their official X10 CRIT debut in the VCT Thailand Stage One Challengers, which will take place from February 10 to February 27 and award three slots to APAC Challengers in March.
