Things are looking up for Shopify Rebellion.
Shopify Rebellion has picked up Anthony "vanity" Malaspina to take up the mantle of IGL in the team. Making way for vanity is Will "dazzLe" Loafman, who has officially parted ways with the squad. This comes after a dismal showing at the VALORANT Challengers 2023: North America Split 1 where Shopify Rebellion finished in 10th place.
In addition to bringing vanity on board, Shopify Rebellion has also brought on Travis "tdawgg" Regan as the assistant coach. The org was seen as one of the favourites to qualify for the Mid-Season Face Off but things just didn't quite pan out for them. They will need all the help they can get after its poor Split 1 performance with them seen as one of the favourites to go through previously.
By signing Cloud9's long-time IGL, he will bring some much-needed experience to the team. This also comes after C9 went through its own roster shuffle for the VCT Americas League. C9 failed to make it past the round of 16 during the VCT LOCK//IN and as a result, released two of its arguably best players.
Having already missed out on qualifying for the Mid-Season Face Off, Shopfy Rebellion will have to contend with waiting until the start of the VCL NA Split 2, which should be happening in a few months' time.
