5. Mixwell: Oscar "mixwell" Cañellas Colocho played for numerous teams in CS:GO and his last one proved to be Cloud9. In 2020, he decided to part ways with the old shooter and turn a new page in his career with Valorant. He's currently part of G2 Esports, one of the best Valorant teams in Europe.

Hiko 100 thieves valorant

4. Hiko: Spencer "Hiko" Martin was one of the oldest players in the CS:GO scene with almost a decade of experience behind him. He last played for Rogue before retiring, but then his competitive career was resumed by Valorant. He was one of the first players to get signed by 100 Thieves. (Credit: 100 Thieves)

Scream team liquid valorant

3. Scream: Adil "ScreaM" Benrlitom's career in CS:GO dates back to the Source days, and it came as a surprise that he also switched to Valorant. Much like Hiko, he also has nearly a decade of experience in Valve's shooter, but the Valorant dream was too tempting to miss out on. He's currently playing for Team Liquid. (Credit: Team Liquid)

Nitr0 valorant esports

2. Nitr0: Nicholas "nitr0" Cannella had an amazing CS:GO run with Team Liquid back in 2019, when he won 8 events throughout the year. In late 2019 he went inactive and later retired to join the Valorant pro scene. He's now back to being Hiko's teammate in the 100 Thieves Valorant team. (Credit: 100 Thieves)

Skadoodle t1 valorant

1. Skadoodle: Tyler "Skadoodle" Latham has the shortest career when compared to the other players on this list, but he found quite a lot of success in CS:GO with Cloud9. Latham went on and off and then retired in 2019 in order to become a full-time streamer. With the release of Valorant, he was signed by T1. (Credit: T1)
