The Guard
The Guard is a relatively new team in Valorant, set up in November 2021.
They even beat last years best NA team, Sentinels, in the playoffs.
Its no wonder they are one of the top seeds in this edition of Masters Reykjavik.

The other NA team that qualified for Masters Reykjavik also happens to be a debutant.
While this team is a new name in the VCT circuit, the roster is not.
The team did not drop a single map to their opponent.
It looks like their initiative is bearing fruit.
As a team, NiP is pretty young, with their roster only set up in January this year.
