Governor Joins Americas After Pacific Exit

Peter “Governor” No has surprisingly announced his move from the Valorant Pacific esports scene to compete in the North America scene.

On his personal account, the Korean-American player shared he has returned to his hometown and joined South Carolina’s Winthrop University. Their team is set to compete in the upcoming VCL NA: Stage 3, starting next week.

This decision is definitely a surprise, given Governor had previously announced his decision to step back from competition due to physical and mental health struggles. The 21-year-old pro left Talon Esports at the same time as his teammate Joseph “ban” Oh in February 2025.

While he won’t be playing at the top level, this is still a good revelation for fans who are hoping to see Governor back in Valorant. Though Talon had a disappointing season in the last VCT Pacific, Governor was often praised for his impressive mechanics and recognized by opponents as one of the game’s smartest players.
