BBL Esports Uniforms
The Turkish club, although they didn't play a large number of tournaments in the past year, have had a ranking season. The season started for BBL Esports with participation in VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: LOCK//IN São Paulo, where in the first match Turks Ledge beat DRX in a full bo3 series. The 17th-32nd place finish earned the players $5,000 in prize money. The next tournament for BBL Esports was VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA League. In the group stage of the tournament the Turkish club played with 3-6 statistics, beating such teams as Team Vitality (Ascent - 13-8, Haven - 13-9), Team Heretics (Haven - 14-12, Lotus - 10-13, Icebox - 13-2) and KOI (Pearl - 3-13, Ascent - 13-4, Bind - 13-5). Such performance prevented the team from reaching the play-offs stage. As a result, BBL Esports finished in seventh place in the standings and earned a slot in the VALORANT Champions Tour 2023: EMEA Last Chance Qualifier.
