TSMFTX Jumps on Minions: The Rise of Gru Bandwagon With a Hilarious New Valorant Agent

Valorant, one of the most popular hero shooters, features 19 agents on its present list of available recruits. Riot Games, the developer, has always made it a point to introduce new content into the tactical first-person shooter from time to time. As a result, the game, which initially had less than 10 agents, has slowly grown to have 7 maps and 19 agents that players can indulge in.

As Riot strives to add more agents to the roster, an informant had previously leaked the codename of an upcoming member of Valorant Protocol. The new agent is codenamed ‘Mage’ and is expected to enter the battlefield in an upcoming Act. While fans wait for Mage to join the roster, some of us want to have fun during the anticipation.

TSM FTX, in a tweet, revealed what the upcoming agent could look like. Although a parody, the idea seemed pretty exciting to fans of an iconic animated film series and a very recent addition to it, Minions: The Rise of Gru.

TSM FTX has a wild idea of a new Valorant agent

Would a Valorant fan like to play as a beloved character who leads an army of Minions? While many fans would go bananas at the thought, it’s unlikely that Riot would bring the iconic Gru to Valorant’s roster. But, it’s definitely fun to imagine!

For the unaware, Gru is a recurring character in the popular Despicable Me and Minions franchises. Although he was an antagonist in Despicable Me (the first movie) at first, he later turned into a protagonist under the influence of his three adopted children.

The latest movie featuring the iconic character was released on July 1 and follows the story of Young Gru as he joins a team of super villains. Fans loved Minions: The Rise of Gru, and hence, the idea of the powerful Minion leader as a Valorant agent definitely intrigued most of them.

According to a fan, it would be entertaining to be able to command Minions as Gru in Valorant.

Brimstone, one of the oldest characters in Valorant and a controller agent, is known for his well-built body. Here’s SoaR Gaming comparing him to Gru’s physique:

Another fan mentions how Riot should add Bob, the popular Minion, to Valorant Protocol.

Another pun-tastic moment!

Some very vivid expectations.

Another one compared Gru’s Minions to Raze’s Boombot. Raze is a duelist agent in Valorant who can equip a Boombot as one of her basic abilities. The Boombot serves as a source of intel and also causes heavy damage if it reaches an enemy. Well, Minions cannot (and shouldn’t) explode, but they can be great at sourcing intel.
