Melih “pAura” Karaduran Looking for a New VALORANT Team
After SuperMassive Blaze’s elimination from the VALORANT Champions Tour EMEA Last Chance Qualifier, pAura, also known as Melih Karaduran, announced that he is searching for a new VALORANT team.
pAura, who is currently contracted to SMB, expressed his interest in finding new options. While he prefers playing the sentinel role, he is flexible and can also serve as an in-game leader when needed. Although the reasons behind pAura’s search for a new team are unclear, it is important to note that he is an exceptional player with a great track record.
Before joining SMB, pAura was a member of the Team Heretics VALORANT roster and played a significant role in the team’s success, including winning events like First Strike Europe. However, the team couldn’t maintain this level of success, leading pAura to leave in May.
In VCT Stage Three, pAura’s contribution helped SMB dominate, winning the Challengers One event and securing second place in the EMEA Challengers Playoffs. Despite their impressive performance, the team was ultimately defeated in the group stage of Masters Berlin.
SMB had one last opportunity to qualify for the Champions tournament later this year. However, they were quickly sent to the lower bracket by One Breath Gaming. Although they managed to get their revenge against One Breath Gaming, they were eventually eliminated by Futbolist in the second round.
Both SMB and pAura will now have to watch the Champions event from the sidelines, but they’re already preparing for the upcoming season.
