As a German I'm sure dude will get the craziest culture shock in Berlin as a Singaporean. For most Germans Berlin is either horror or culture shock, too and pretty much only the people who actively choose to live there really love it - so for somebody from Singapore where you can get the dealth penalty for drug trafficking, he will get a new view on the world when he sees some of the culture there.

Niiice! Wish them all the best.

You guys have the score the other way around. ;) / thanks for fix

Bro, GSR is a monster.

Sheydos is back... he is honestly so good. Just needs a bit time to fully find his way again, but dude was always a menace.

Sayonara as 2nd Duelist or aggro Initiator is so good... he is crazy on Phoenix. I mean he is just 17... when this kid finds a constant way, he will be unstoppable.

And you can def. tell that Derke is happy to play with Chron again... he feels so much more alive since Chron is on Vitality. That team will def. become crazy good by time.

Banger match!

s0pp and echo are ridiculously talented.

GSR = next big thing!

Liquid Academy doing a great job atm.!

marteen is such a beast!

People bragging about 13:0 while it's offseason + Fnatic playing without their IGL and with a totally new player since Chronicle left.

4 maps SUPER CLOSE and 2-2 is what people then quickly forget - even despite the above mentioned facts.

But yeah... the 13:0 was pure destruction. But in no world that means a lot since Boaster was this season always the guy who called Abyss and who did so much crazy work on that map for FNatic (look at Boasters stats on Abyss).

GGs to T1.

Offseason... you care way too much. Fnatic playing without Boaster + with a new player.

Yes. Turkish-Dutch, just like Proxh is Turkish-German.

If Boaster stops after 2026 I still have hopes that crashies takes over. I love this man.
Veqaj also getting better and better...

kaajak as insane as always.

marteen is such a good player... I wish he'd have joined Liquid or so for a proper team build. But yeah... whatever. GGs

Chronicle is just insane. Carrying the hell out of this team on Bind and closing with an ace... what a chad. PROFEK also had a pretty good first map. Excited for map 2. I think those rounds that Vitality were losing are always kinda small mistakes, just like during the last matches (not holding angles, not being aware of flanking, non-scope peeking with Outlaw etc.). That's just a thing of routine, concentration, comms bla... so easy avoidable in the future by some time.

Cryo on 20:0... wow. Can't remember when I saw this the last time in any T1 match.

Mistic, not qpert.

Money.

People still whining about Boastie. His IGLing is so important. Alfa etc. can truly shine with a selfless IGL like Boaster. I hope that even the last haters will see this at some point.

Initiator naming himself after the legend? w

al0 beast!

Turkish Valorant ahead.

And M8 are cursed for real.

And so many crazyyy options in T2. Like not only alexiiik or what but so many insane options.

GSR, rexxtoned, Jamelinho, globeX, wtex, Spear, WanZeru, shinnok.... so many insane talents upcoming! GSR is prob. the biggest <18y Initiator talent in EMEA.

I mean... Spear is one of the biggest Turkish talents and Izzy and sterben (German for "dying" btw.) are great players, but still... this can't be the standard Vitality is aiming for. Especially when it comes to the stupid ass repeeking, lane holding and weird roaming (like how many times I saw someone sneaking and then suddenly close to a peek spot jumping or loud walking - like WTF?!). I know, BO1, offseaon, fresh team, ladida - but we're talking about the biggest project in EMEA when it comes to money involved and they def. didn't just start scrimming - Sayonara is prob. the least one to blame, dude played only ranked after 30% of a Tier 2 season but this is honestly embarassing for VIT. .

What a damn legend.

KC new team def. nice!

Good pickup. Korean T2 league is full of brutal talent.

Next: exa, benecia, pkm, SID!

It was clear at the second we saw Neon, erde and blowz dominating SA T2 for 2 seasons and LEV keeping them in their academy squad. Kinda sadge that the ydidn't also get erde to T1 instead of Spike, but I guess this works very well, too. erde will def. find another team - but he is def. insane as well.

This team will become brutally strong. Americas 2026 will be by far the craziest region. Almost every team is stacked.

LEV will go places. INSANE!

I don't watch GC but congrats to them! Competition is important. So boring when always the same team wins.

I loved to watch him farm T2. I hope his former mate "erde" will also join a VCT team at some time, that dude is also crazy.

I said it... Neon etc. will be insane! This team will go nuts 2026!

RRQ always feel like they play without comms. xD

https://www.huya.com/18524970

But I watch the weibo one now. Good quality but only Chinese. https://weibo.com/l/wblive/p/show/1022:2321325238258799083633

The audio stream quality is so bad. I hope they increase that for the mach.

Can't wait to see LEV. Sato, Neon and blowz together in one team feels crazy.

I honestly think they will be good.

Wow. Surprise. xD

But I still have high hopes for that roster. Even though I'd love to see Lar0k at Fnatic together with Alfajer (maybe in the future, tho).

⟳⏳

His smokes are on point, tho. Mechanically a bit off, yes... but still great util.

It's just a offseason tourney but CGN can be proud and FUT needs to work on a lot. Crazy to see yetujey and xeus like that.

BBL (former BCF) and ULF gonna be the new Turkish danger in EMEA.

Sato, Neon, blowz and kiNgg in one team... insane.

Americas got by FAR the strongest league in 2026.

lmao... xD

marteen and GLYPH should have carried them tbh... especially marteen (he tried).

Jesus... loads of work ahead of them.

But what are you gonna do when there is a globeX with Polish AND Russian roots? Only misses the Turkish roots than he'd be unbeatable.

marteen is def. a beast. Would have loved to see him at Liquid or NAVI. But I hope this works for him, too.

KUNDIKUNDI is a crazy good coach.

Sympathic and hard working players, wish them the best.

So true.

Turkish league produces the craziest talents. I bet for VCT 2026 ComeBack, Lar0k and s0pp (when he turns 18) will be part of the best players in EMEA. And for 2027 I'm sure wtex will be one of the names (kid is just 16 and already incredible).

Derke and Less seemed to have an actual friendship, but I understand that it's hard. Vitality massively failed after the first major (which was really nice) to stay strong. Sayf hat mental issues, so the IGLing and the team performance went downhill and of course Derke and Less were not happy with the player experiments afterwards.

I hope Less finds a strong team in Americas again and Vitality will be better in 2026 (which should be the case with Chronicle, Jamppi, PROFEK and Sayonara).

Derke and Less def. deserve better than 2025. Respect to both for always staying professional and chill. Other players would have been wayyy louder about the problems of the org in 2025.

Nice to see Fnatic trying stuff out with Veqaj, but there is def. still a lot of work to do. But in the end... that's what the offseason is there for. At least you have some nice opponents here.

Was a banger match.

Keiko fits NRG so well... can't wait to see what bonkar cooks up for 2026 when keiko played with them for a bit longer.

SEN also looks strong.

This team is fire despite what most people said in the beginning. N4RRATE on Duelist fits him as good as what he played on KC during that Meta beside of marteen - 2nd Duelist and a very aggressive Fade / Gekko (Gekko was insane that Meta) -> that fits him wayyy better than being just a roaming Initiator. And N4RRATE is a beast.

And Red Bull HG is trying out things anyways. Losing here a few games is not wild, teams try out stuff and have to work with better, worse or simply other players than before.

Sentinels will be very strong 2026, 100%!
