Lakia posted on social network X: “Finding a team in the Pacific area. My wrist has completely recovered, now I am better and more confident than before. I am ready to try, I can take on the role of IGL if needed, fluent in English and Japanese to communicate in the match.”
The announcement is the first time Lakia mentioned joining a team since leaving Geng in October 2024. Accordingly, the player left Geng after stopping at 9-12 at Valorant Champions 2024 at home in Korea. Earlier, Lakia has achieved many successes of the year such as the Pacific Kickoff championship, the Pacific Stage 2 championship and the Masters Shanghai 2024 championship.
The player started his professional Valorant career by 2020 in the Vision Strikers shirt. Later, Lakia played for many prestigious teams such as Proparty, Nuturn or Igzist before joining Dplus in July 2022. After 1 year of competition, Lakia moved to Geng at the end of 2023 and achieved great success in the first year to play at VCT Tier 1.
Regarding the role, Lakia mainly competes for Initiator with the most used agent, Sova, then Skye and Fade. However, this player does not choose agents like Kay/O or Breach.
Currently, the teams in the Pacific area are in need of changing the squad, especially those teams that are not good at Stage 1. Therefore, Lakia will have a lot of options, from Korean teams such as NS Redforce to Japanese teams such as Detonation Focusme and Zeta are ready to recruit former Masters championships for the Stage 2 season and towards Champions 2025.
