The organization competes in Valorant tournaments.

Since its founding, the team has been relatively unsuccessful,[2][3] with one esports reporter having described the organisation as having had a 'rocky start' to the North America VCT Challengers league.[4]

History

On December 19, 2022 Internet personality Jeremy Wang, known as Disguised Toast, announced a Valorant team named 'Disguised'.[5][6] The team included members of the knights Valorant team, with the addition of two players: Steel of 100 Thieves and Clear, a rookie player. The team was coached by Ocean. The full roster was announced on 9 January 2023.[7]

On January 13, 2023 'Disguised' had won the Open Qualifier event in their latest match against Oxygen Esports and joined the Challengers League: North America[8]

On 8 March it was reported that the organisation would be starting another team named 'Game Changers', with a roster that would be likely to consist of unsigned players.[9]

On March 28 2023 the organisation announced the 'Game Changers' Valorant team.[10] The membership of the team consisted of popular female Valorant Twitch streamers, with Ruin announced as the coach.[11] After failing to qualify for the main event, Wang jokingly 'dropped' the team—in reality, the members never had a monetary contract with 'Disguised' and the announcement was a parody of other esports teams' unceremonious firing of their players after poor game performance.[12]

On April 10, 2023 Disguised Toast, announced the signing of 'yay'.[13]
