Revenant Esports started very strong in Split 1 with a first and second-place finish in the Regular Season of Cup 1 and Cup 2. However, they only managed to get top three placements during the Playoffs, which showed that the team sort of struggled to continue the momentum from the Regular Season.

Split 2 saw a whole different version of Revenant Esports, as they had consistent dominant performances. They only lost a total of three maps in their entire run of Split 2 and even got a clean 3-0 win in the Grand Finals to secure the Ascension spot.

Sportskeeda Esports asked Revenant Esports' skillZ about how different the current South Asian Valorant esports scene felt compared to when the game was first released. Here's what he said,

"It's a complete different ball game now compared to the initial years, there are very few bad habits still there in SA but overall the region itself has improved from a solo individual game style to teamplay and the communication skills are also high now. It's slowly changing, before there used to very high risk high reward plays and now it has reduced drastically."
