Thenderan further confirmed that there will be Indonesians in the squad and that they are selecting a new coach for the team. &quot;We will be trialing players including Indonesian as soon as the coaching team is formed,&quot; Thenderan shared on his Facebook account. Earlier, Valorant developers Riot Games announced the teams included in its partnership or franchise program, and the creation of International Leagues - or intraregional leagues. Team Secret and RRQ are listed in the VCT Pacific League. For VCT 2023, teams must have at least 6 members, expanding the maximum roster cap to 10. Only one import is allowed in a starting roster, and four players must come from the league&#x27;s region. As it stands, Team Secret and RRQ have Filipinos in their active lineup. RRQ&#x27;s five-man Filipino squad recently won the Predator League held in SM Mall of Asia mid-September. RRQ has yet to announce which other players will be making the cut, with the VCT transfer window kicking off last Monday and running until February 1, 2023. <ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/09/22/22/valorant-team-secret-rrq-picked-as-vct-franchise-teams">Valorant: Team Secret, RRQ are VCT partner teams.
