We should hating on any pro player for real. I just experienced the pressure of ESL league playing in Battlefield and CS and that was already crazy with some team owners, especially when you get signed with your squad by a sponsored team.

These dudes giving up all their lives - in NA or othet European countries to come to one place to grind and compete... and there are so many influenfes that might make you performing way worse than you could do under optimal conditions. So... I think Governor is maybe no Leo or whatever, but he's def. better than what he showed on Apeks.

I hope she gets fit soon, I liked seeing her play. I also had my doubts with dudes like AvovA being her team mates (literally spitting into the mic even when playing bad, telling every single opponent to "sit down" -> Fnatic, Vitality etc.)

Doesn't matteer which region, she needs a nice and positive team. When her family situation is not so cool, probably the best would be competing in NA if she wants to come back at some point.

Big talent, nice personality... for her first VCT season she did a nice job regarding all the struggles.

Jemkin is a top 5 Duelist at the moment. That dude is INSANE.

yay is so back. Love to see that man cooking again. In general a very cool squad and potter should finally silence the last doubters now...

Wow! :) Sentinels = best mentals!

Imagine a new Russian superteam... :P

Correct. :P

primmie <3

Thai people are always so happy and friendly. I hope TALON will go strong and qualify for Toronto!

primmie is insane, but also it's crazy what a downfall we currently see from T1...

Bro... :X I feel so bad for al0rante.

Feels bad to see hiro, koala and Shao like that but I honestly hoped a lot for a strong Heretics comeback this year after the "urgh" start.

Teams like Heretics and G2 deserve a major trophy after all these incredible performances and the brutal work. Even if you are no supporter of those teams or whatever, I think showing good consistancy over 2-3 meta changes with all the heavy dedication takes a lot of professionalism and should finally be rewarded.

Nice revenge from DRG. vo0kashu = monster!

Depends on several things, I guess. They have loads of money. When they can keep marteen, SUYGETSU and Avez they have a solid base. I doubt Saadhak wants to stay, honestly. He is 28 and probably wants to win another trophy as well, he is one of the best IGLs. Maybe he will join a new Americas project?!

But yeah, we will see. marteen and SUYGETSU are incredible players and would also be a ++ for most other teams, especially because both can play more than one role.

Such a nice match. marteen and xeus are def. two of the mechanically best players right now... insane aim.
And I feel like SUYGETSU (insane aim anyways) and Saadhak have a good vibe together.

But yeah... very exciting match.

I love this team. :)

Honestly... they should have tried to get vo0kashu, Kr1stal and Rarga (or something like that) and pair them with purp0 and Cloud and make a full Russian spekaing team. 100% better for comms.

KangKang was 100% right about S1mon... it's sad but true.

Jemkin is a beast!

This was so beautiful to watch. something back on pure Duelist and Jinggg on Omen remembered me actually of TenZ! This was so cool.

xD

Couldn't cortezia IGL? xD
Then lukxo for artzin and they would have a crazy amount of firepower.

Demon1 and tex are on fire. I hope it stays that way...

kaajak truly becoming a monster while getting more and more confident.

Rating 2.0 for China... will that stay, though?!

2024 Heretics are back?!
Watching them was so much damn fun. Wo0t actually felt like he was just feeling the '24 major vibes.

I hope so much that teams like Heretics and G2 earn the success of all their hard work.

hiro <3

Let Xross play.

So when German player al0rante on his friday stream said that jawgemo is currently probably the best player in the world (or at least one of the very best), he def. had a point. :P

This is not even a fair match. I honestly, honestly thought NRG will try (!) to give G2 a hard time. Wow. I hope map 2 will at least be more than a ranked match for G2.

G2 is such a brutal team. When they won't win a major this year I really don't know... I mean after 2024 alone there are 2 teams that def. deserve a major soon - G2 and Heretics.

GG

So happy for the boys.

Split was one of the best maps I've ever seen by Boaster fragwise... so damn good.

Great match so far...

Hiro, Shao, koala and flor are so good... :)
And batujnax seems to be the most friendly and wholesome dude ever.

Sayonara playing with 50% and still way too good... xD
Time that he becomes 18 somewhere in 2026 and plays VCT.

kamyk <3 So happy for him.

NA delivered in EU today.

Bro, crashies played wonderful Valorant! Thank you! :)

xeus :)

Dude played like a beast, great positioning. Another hint that we as viewers have pretty much no clue what most talents really are capable of... xD

I hope that he continues to perform like that.

trexx will score 30 assists... wait... :X

Another Russian / Kazach menace.

But honestly... GENG needs stop changing and changing players. Stick to your roster and maybe try to get them more comfortable in their environment.

I was almost in shock while reading that news. After Derke trexx was the 2nd strongest Vitality player in Bangkok and Kickoff. So when his comms are a problem (which is the reason regarding to several sources) then hire a performance or mental coach or something who works with him / the team. The man is 20 years young, played with Sayf for a very long time, knows how Tier 1 works, is easily on of the worlds best Initiators at the moment and instead of trying to work with him and giving him a chance to work on his comms and "tilting", they just sign a Tier 2 dude with no experience and not even really good numbers... and then look how trexx dismantled T1 in their first match.

Signing a 16 years young Sayonara for the future is nothing bad, he is probably on the wanted list at 70% of the worlds top teams - just like a canezerra. But in what world can CyvOph (take a look at his recent performance) replace trexx? Especially in Tier 1.

Big L to bench trexx, imo.

I don't know the exact reasons obviously, but in what world can trexx be replaced like that? I mean afaik this is based on his comms. Why not hire a performance coach or something like that to make him work on his calling / social connection?! His fragging is awesome, his util and positioning is top notch.

To the signings: Sayonara is one of the biggest talents in the world and with his 16 years he is def. hunted by a lot of big orgs for a future contract (just like Fnatic and others), so that's def. a big catch for the future.

Fnatic and health issues... bro... :(

Get well soon, Erik. <3

Szed being a studied sports & business psychologist is a crazy addition as performance coach.

tex so good, but I think Demon1 really needs to play on Jett.

After this I want to see primmie at Liquid together with Keiko and nAts.

Never thought about that, but they know their team better...

Or this match: https://www.vlr.gg/2062/sentinels-vs-envy-pop-flash-tournament-opening-b

xD sinatraa and mummay LMAO

Wow, that's such a long time ago. But that match was nice.

BBL are so fun to watch... how easy Lar0k wins that 1v3 with ulow HP is crazy!

ComeBack, Lar0k and Loita are amazing.

ComeBack is the next xeus. That dude is legit insane.

Bro, some rounds were insanely unlucky for FOKUS. But in the end, DNSTY def. played the better Valorant today.

GGs

FOKUS vs. Eternal Fire will be crazy!

al0rante, the master of Split!
Let's go FKS!
