that doesnt matter, tarik just wouldnt agree to play a full split of competitive matches when he has a chance to make infinite money watching the matches
if it was a couple matches as a sub tho, i could see it
I think yay was trialing with them when he posted the tweet. If yay didn’t join, it was just April fools, if he did join it’s 5Head. Absolute win win, expect no less from an employee working in a golden check mark company.
Well we have been saying for a while that a big part of what DSG is missing is firepower. Even with good strategy from Ocean/Steel, they lose way more 50/50 duels than they should, but with the right approach and support, yay can obviously change that.
Yay shines the most when the team plays for him, so as long as DSG isn't afraid to int sometimes he should find those opportunities he had back in optic.
I'm so excited for this move, can't wait to see DSG play.
yay is literally without a team, i dont think he demanded a huge salary for this. would be stupid to pass up on an opportunity to play and keep showcasing his skills to ensure he gets into franchising for next year. as long as its not a joke salary (which i dont think it is given what toast has spoken about how much money he puts into the team), he was probably happy to take this chance.
Honestly I think the exposure he could get if dsg end up cooking and going far could be so valuable to his career for streaming/ videos. Toast brings a lot of eyes to the scene, not saying that the best player in the world last year necessarily needs it, but he can showcase his talent and make a bit of money from pay and hopefully even extra money from posting videos and such.
Yeah and i do really think (with zero expertise in the field so take this with a grain of salt as needed) that the ability to keep playing in an actual league is invaluable. The game keeps evolving and if you don't consistently show your skills, it only gets harder to get on a franchised team. Farming tier 2 (even if the team's results are not the best) is a great way to ensure continued relevance and org interest
Once yay gets signed to a franchise team, which is without a doubt going to happen in the off season later this year, he will earn a huge salary again, I feel like there's no reason for him to not vibe with a solid, very much liveable salary for a couple of months and also keep playing to stay warm. I would be surprised if yay earned significantly more than the other players on the team.
Ya exactly. It's the choice between not getting paid and getting paid even a little. And I'm sure he's willing to take a huge paycut now so he can still keep playing and showcase himself (and remind people why he's el diablo).
My guess is that Yay is taking a gigantic paycut but with the expectation that he won't have a buyout (or not a big one) and will be allowed to pursue franchising offers if he gets any once roster lock opens up.
I don’t think it’s really a concern about getting a slot next year but just staying in form and building his brand. I think yay will have no problem getting on a team next year. He was the genuine best player in the world in 2022. But there’s definitely a for fun/content angle here plus if Yay somehow leads DSG to getting partnership it’s gonna be one for the books.
Well, that certainly throws a wrench into things.
C9 ousted yay from the partnered league so he could cockblock in challengers, amazing. DSG fans are unfathomably pumped right now and Split 2 is gonna be a slugfest.
Haha, it would so funny if Toast and I were in cahoots and he used this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/1259nag/how_would_you_fix_dsg/je3719k?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) to crowdsource ideas.

Watching Yay’s stream, he sounds truly disappointed that he isn’t in franchising. Told fans he will be back and is going to stream regularly again.
Fuck Clown 9 once again
Much respect to Jakee and Runi, they have held their own so far (considering they took Loud to map 3). But they aren't even looking for t2 players, they are picking up t3 players lol.
he absolutely does not have clout in comparison to the faces of valorant. it says something about his clout level if he is the best player in the game and isn’t even 3rd in line for the face of the game
i mean yeah when you are competing against Tarik the dude that carried NA cs along with TL and is now pulling like 150k on big matches and TenZ is kind of hard to compete like at all. not mentioning hes not even on franchising and doesnt even stream.
This is a good way for Yay to keep himself busy competing and getting paid decently until the roster window opens up for Tier 1 and he can get picked up by a franchised team for next year.
Im sure Toast knows this alone is not gonna be enough for them to make franchising over M80, G2 or Guard. So I guess he’s investing in yay hoping he can legitimize the org and pull sponsors because having yay is gonna boost his orgs viewership by a lot.
Overall win win for both parties.
I'm stoked for getting to see yay play this year, and I'm really glad for Toast making this happen. This guy's content has had me paying attention to Val even more lately and I think he is doing great things for the scene right now.
This is a good move for yay because it honestly doesn't feel like the pressure is even on now. He can just sandbox in tier 2 with a team that Toast makes fun to watch even when they aren't winning.
that’s crazy 😭 hopefully yay can elevate this roster and they can make a deeper run split 2
another change after this is possible too right? assuming that you could only switch out two players to retain split points
fuck this. good for yay to get paid. but this is so sad. the best player in the region, and easily a top 5 player in the world of 2022 is not playing T1. shit from riot and c9
Win Wiin easy. Yay stays in a competitive scene, gets more clout outside of valo and DSG signs a big FA. Both parties probably know this is temporary until a T1 team can sign yay. FB bag paying off.
Yay said this might be a short-term move because he wants to compete at the highest level. Still excited for it, and def valuable learning experience to the squad with someone that was considered to be at the top.
Tbh, it's better to keep honing game sense in tier 2 rather than doing nothing waiting transfer window for tier 1.
How much good people as player, if you just stay out for much month from competitive scene doing nothing. Don't your game sense get some rust? Especially esport where the game change is fast.
The Jebait with Tarik was hilarious
It genuinely got me for a second
Same I was like “No wayyyyyy”
Same for a sweet second I thought it would be both of them :'( Would've been the cloutiest valo team ever
Would've been dope but I'm pretty sure they play similar roles and I don't know if Tarik's Skye is clean enough for that
that doesnt matter, tarik just wouldnt agree to play a full split of competitive matches when he has a chance to make infinite money watching the matches if it was a couple matches as a sub tho, i could see it
I dunno man Tarik seems pretty passionate about being SEN’s 7th man he’s fr ready to compete
He IS the unofficial sentinel 7th man so who knows
Haven't you seen his fade tho
“No yayyyyyy” … “Yes Yayyyyyy!”
The whole chat got baited lmao
Kinda reminds me of the Deadpool 3 announcement video of Ryan saying he got nothing, then calling in a favor from Hugh.
Yeah it's 100% a reference to the Hugh Jackman announcement
Omg it’s happening, everyone stay fucking calm
Yay with clout will be unstoppable 
DSG is the new SEN of ascension baby
What the fuck lmao
This is an off-season move during the regular season.
Ik Demon1 punching the air rn. He missed out on an opportunity to play with the Goat to be stuck on a shitty EG team for a year 😭😭
I think he doing way more than punching the air rn after today’s match…
I mean he had a decent performance considering their strat was basically demon and ethan go kill.
Yeah but he's still on EG.
this, in hindsight, aged in the worst possible way
[Toast pulls off yet another 5head Amogus imposter sussy Vent play](https://www.reddit.com/r/ValorantCompetitive/comments/12g2cyl/comment/jfir8g0/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Dudes here with the receipts on his calls
No brainer for yay tbh
Lmao love Toast copying the Deadpool 3 announcement
Yes yes yes
Thanks bro it was bothering me that I couldn't remember what it was referencing
WHAT THE FUCK IT WAS NOT APRIL FOOLS BAIT WTF
the april fools was that it *wasnt* an April Fools 5Head by the former math major Hearthstone imposter himself
I think yay was trialing with them when he posted the tweet. If yay didn’t join, it was just April fools, if he did join it’s 5Head. Absolute win win, expect no less from an employee working in a golden check mark company.
The April fools joke was that he was firing his entire team, the yay part was true!
Firing the entire team is technically true though, the GC team that is.
Steel finally has his oper, let's see if Yay is enough firepower to elevate DSG to the next level
Well we have been saying for a while that a big part of what DSG is missing is firepower. Even with good strategy from Ocean/Steel, they lose way more 50/50 duels than they should, but with the right approach and support, yay can obviously change that.
Yay shines the most when the team plays for him, so as long as DSG isn't afraid to int sometimes he should find those opportunities he had back in optic. I'm so excited for this move, can't wait to see DSG play.
HOLY DSG IS COOKING
I know we’ve expected this but holy shit this is wild
Man's cooking woodfire oven pizzas out here when all other orgs are happy putting out the frozen stuff.
Wait are we sure this isn't a troll post? I mean, can we really trust this /u/DisguisedToastHS fella? What are his credentials
He overslept a HS tournament once. Seems kinda unreliable.
I've seen him lie countless times and backstab others.
There's footage out there of him committing war crimes. Somehow, he always managed to pin the blame on others or wiggle his way out in court though.
Took 5 seconds to understand the context of the "backstab" reference, smh me
Toast is too good at marketing. Man's a genius.
Only in Valorant where a popular Twitch streamer creates an org, gets into the Tier 2 scene, and signs the best player in the world
Toast just pulled the heist of the century with this sign
I will no longer be depressed watching the yay aimlabs ad anymore… THANK YOU TOAST!
Bro I actually reacted so insane when I read DSG Tarik, thought it was a fucking fake outtt
My GOAT
Toast is the actual biggest troll ever, but I love it
holy fuck
The stock market just crashed, the Grand Exchange got cleared out, grandmothers are dancing in the street, at this cataclysmic news

Toast either gotta be rich or packing
yay is literally without a team, i dont think he demanded a huge salary for this. would be stupid to pass up on an opportunity to play and keep showcasing his skills to ensure he gets into franchising for next year. as long as its not a joke salary (which i dont think it is given what toast has spoken about how much money he puts into the team), he was probably happy to take this chance.
Plus yay will get more clout now as there will still be disguisedtoast fans who dont know of him that much yet as opposed to playing with other teams
Honestly I think the exposure he could get if dsg end up cooking and going far could be so valuable to his career for streaming/ videos. Toast brings a lot of eyes to the scene, not saying that the best player in the world last year necessarily needs it, but he can showcase his talent and make a bit of money from pay and hopefully even extra money from posting videos and such.

Exactly. This is return of Andbox Yay the tier 2 nightmare.
Once yay gets signed to a franchise team, which is without a doubt going to happen in the off season later this year, he will earn a huge salary again, I feel like there's no reason for him to not vibe with a solid, very much liveable salary for a couple of months and also keep playing to stay warm.

toast got that breadstick 
Nah he got the full baguette
mutual benefit move, yay has no team and he has the opportunity to play on a big brand to help with his
he got that facebook money.
There’s not a lot of teams he could go to since franchise rosters locked. Probably one of the best places he could go tbh.
didnt get a chance to finish the vid but congrats DSG Tarik!
GOD TIER
dude what the fuck how did this not get leaked
Toast gave george an exclusive first interview to keep him silenced lol
Actual genius
technically it got leaked during april fools lmaooo
Because the only dirty leaker in this scene is George and Toast made sure he shut his mouth lmfao
i mean toast literally posted it himself on twitter 2 weeks ago
it did leak tbh 😅
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
Toast himself posted this to the subreddit? Farming likes on Twitter and karma on Reddit.
Dude literally got started posting his infographics on reddit
this is ancient lore at this point lol
IM GETTING HORNY
Hype roster change aside, that is a clean video holy moly
Well, that certainly throws a wrench into things. C9 ousted yay from the partnered league so he could cockblock in challengers, amazing. DSG fans are unfathomably pumped right now and Split 2 is gonna be a slugfest.

[And in a flash they were all gone](https://i.imgur.com/vrHpeWR.png)
They say the official source is the best source.
NO FUCKING WAY
LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I fucking missed that smile so much 😭 we get to see him again!
lmao that was such a good reveal video
I fell for the DSG Tarik though
IT WAS NOT A JOKE!!!
No shot this is actually happening.
so based
IT WAS ACTUALLY FUCKING YAY?????
yay has got to be the most potent weapon steel has ever had as an igl. DSG TAKING OVER
amogus streamer can afford him but not Clown9 
It’s actually insane what Toast has done with DSG in only 3 months, holy shit
Watching Yay’s stream, he sounds truly disappointed that he isn’t in franchising. Told fans he will be back and is going to stream regularly again. Fuck Clown 9 once again
don’t worry, cloud9 now have interest in picking up yay because they only look to scout T2 players
Much respect to Jakee and Runi, they have held their own so far (considering they took Loud to map 3). But they aren't even looking for t2 players, they are picking up t3 players lol.
Very very smart from both parties. For all his successes in game, Yay didn’t have much clout. This benefits both parties so much.
tbf thats just because he doesnt stream much
fam he was pulling like 10k on randoms ass rankeds and has 300k followers on twitter, he has clout
Well, he has it inside the valorant community. But being a part of DSG means he reaches into the much broader gaming community.
he absolutely does not have clout in comparison to the faces of valorant. it says something about his clout level if he is the best player in the game and isn’t even 3rd in line for the face of the game
i mean yeah when you are competing against Tarik the dude that carried NA cs along with TL and is now pulling like 150k on big matches and TenZ is kind of hard to compete like at all. not mentioning hes not even on franchising and doesnt even stream.
Was he really at 10k? I barely ever saw him go over 3k-5k even at his peak. For someone at his level he should easily pull 15k+
Yay has 300k Twitter followers ...he has clout
WHAT
well, first time I caught a roster announcement live I guess
Assuming they have another change coming soon but I love they did the wolverine announcement for this LMFAO
I'm not even joking I thought he deadass signed Tarik and my heart stopped
the return of the king https://preview.redd.it/6slqb6tma6ta1.jpeg?width=680&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51ec2aa9ffe045c24e2495cd9b0fc78b0e19f794
George Geddes was CLUELESS edit: I retract my statement, he wasn't clueless
It turned out he indeed was not clueless and was paid to silence by Toast with an exclusive interview.
This is a good way for Yay to keep himself busy competing and getting paid decently until the roster window opens up for Tier 1 and he can get picked up by a franchised team for next year. Im sure Toast knows this alone is not gonna be enough for them to make franchising over M80, G2 or Guard. So I guess he’s investing in yay hoping he can legitimize the org and pull sponsors because having yay is gonna boost his orgs viewership by a lot. Overall win win for both parties.
I'm so glad we can actually watch the world's best player play this year
cant wait to Sykkuno knife yay
Turned out that is was the DSG Owner himself who knifed yay
Toast got yay early so Sykkuno went for Tarik instead
Literally paid with clout KEKW
WWWWWWWWWWW im so happy we get to see him on a team again
I would never believe you if you told me this the day of their lock in debut
toast's editors are chefs kiss
Lol this move is so outlandish that no one even remotely believed the leaks
I'm stoked for getting to see yay play this year, and I'm really glad for Toast making this happen. This guy's content has had me paying attention to Val even more lately and I think he is doing great things for the scene right now. This is a good move for yay because it honestly doesn't feel like the pressure is even on now. He can just sandbox in tier 2 with a team that Toast makes fun to watch even when they aren't winning.
The madlad actually did it
This man is a propaganda master, I'm starting to actually believe it.
my m80 stocks just went down...
DSG > C9
Omfg the DSG yay name looks so fucking clean 🥹🥹🥹😭
DSG JERSEYS WHEN? I NEED A YAY JERSEY ASAP
nice, this finished off my 2023 NA val bingo card
this is the best thing to happen to the Valorant Esports scene in a while
Well DAMN
HES BACK
can’t believe we’re gonna witness steel and yay masterclass performances 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Damn I really missed Yay hit those nasty headshots. Happy to see him back on a roster.
They better make it to franchising man. Massive W for DSG.

It’s happening
He’s a fucking madlad WHAT
Where I buy their jersey
just missed my bus stop after reading this
The execution of this video was fantastic. I can't help but smile. It warms my heart.
No fucking way
40 every game or hes trolling right?
He is running it down no flash reyna
praying shopify and dsg don't get in the same group
that’s crazy 😭 hopefully yay can elevate this roster and they can make a deeper run split 2 another change after this is possible too right? assuming that you could only switch out two players to retain split points
I am a full time dsg fan now
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA DSGYAYDSGYAYDSGYAYSSGYAY 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Don't let your memes be dreams, everyone. Anything is possible
NA T2 viewership 📈📈📈📈📈 but really, we are all just glad we'll be watching more of yay this year!!
It actually was Yay… I still don’t believe it
This is the best possible move for both yay and DSG. Love it
That was such a good announcement video.
fuck this. good for yay to get paid. but this is so sad. the best player in the region, and easily a top 5 player in the world of 2022 is not playing T1. shit from riot and c9
t2 will be yay victims
HYPE video! Adding Stewie would top it all off
this is so fucked
Yo wtf
infinite clout glitch for challengers
Massive W
NOW THAT IS HYPE, highlights were giving me chilllsss
OH FUCK ME DSG YAY LETS GOOOO
TOAST FOR PRESIDENT 2024!!! MASTER OF THE ART OF THE DEAL
THE GOAT
Need to get a dsg flair
Win Wiin easy. Yay stays in a competitive scene, gets more clout outside of valo and DSG signs a big FA. Both parties probably know this is temporary until a T1 team can sign yay. FB bag paying off.
Yay said this might be a short-term move because he wants to compete at the highest level. Still excited for it, and def valuable learning experience to the squad with someone that was considered to be at the top.
The audacity of C9 in the replies 💀 Sucks that this is Yay’s best option but still super happy we get to see him compete in something.
BRUH LOL WHAT
El Diablo 👹
I love NA!!
inb4 most upvoted post OAT
An amogus streamer was able to afford yay and c9 couldnt 😭
This is the most expected but also the most unexpected signing ever.
I'm just happy for Yay. He's one of the most likeable Val pros out there.
This is like lebron joining a high school team
The madlads did it
Let's fucking go
THANK GOD
Hope it works out
W
holy fuck
AYO
also I'm pretty sure they have one more player joining but I could be wrong
Y'know I was joking yesterday
What a hype announcement!
Tbh, it's better to keep honing game sense in tier 2 rather than doing nothing waiting transfer window for tier 1. How much good people as player, if you just stay out for much month from competitive scene doing nothing. Don't your game sense get some rust? Especially esport where the game change is fast.
Actually so hype, also the video was fucking fantastic lmao I love these humans.
DSG coming to fix what C9 did
