The organization entered&nbsp;<em>VALORANT\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;landscape in August 2020 and has since parted ways with all players from the original roster. Luminosity won just a couple of smaller championships after joining&nbsp;<em>VALORANT<\/em>&nbsp;and never attended an international event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLuminosity remains passionate about esports and we aim to continue to compete for championships in every esport that we participate in,\u201d the organization said in an official statement. \u201cExiting\u00a0<em>VALORANT<\/em>\u00a0is not an easy decision for us, we look forward to Riot\u2019s upcoming structure for 2023 and we do not rule out the opportunity to participate in\u00a0<em>VALORANT<\/em>\u00a0esports again down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The North American organization\u2019s decision to leave&nbsp;<em>VALORANT<\/em>&nbsp;esports comes just a few days after Riot reportedly hosted a meeting with teams to discuss the partnership system for 2023. Dot Esports&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/valorant\/news\/sources-further-details-valorant-partnership-system-revealed-to-teams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reported<\/a>&nbsp;last week that the North American, Brazilian, and Latin American league will have eight to 10 teams that will receive a direct invite next year. The organizations will apply for a chance to become Riot\u2019s partner over the course of the next few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of this moment, it appears that the players and staff of Luminosity are interested in moving together to a new organization instead of parting ways now that they are restricted free agents. \u201cKeeping our roster AND staff together is incredibly important to us, and vital to the long-term success of this team,\u201d players\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mooseloff\/status\/1532451665747623975\" target=\"_blank\">moose<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dazzLeGO\/status\/1532451741945446400\" target=\"_blank\">dazzLe<\/a>\u00a0said on Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luminosity are 2-1 in NA VCT Challengers Stage Two\u2019s Group B.
