When did u start watching val

I feel like most people here started back in beta but idk.
I started right when T1 was becoming shitter about a few weeks before the faze invitational.

Tsm vs Sen faze invitational

i played val pretty early but only watched pro play after tenz joined sentinels since all my friends were going crazy about it for some reason

Yes, I understand why trenbolona loved mwzera so much, at that time he played valorant 2

When
T1 Crashies (Best Cypher in the world at that time)
T1 Food (Victor)
T1 AZK
T1 Brax (1st player ever to be signed to a Val Org)
T1 Skadoodle
and
TSM Wardell (Pioneer of Op/Jett)
TSM Subroza
TSM Drone (Phoenix Phantom GOAT)
TSM Reltuc
TSM Hazed
existed.

For context: 2020
Radiant rank was called "Valorant" back then lmfao

vct id 2021
I remember watching xcn vs nxlg

yeah, that finals was the match I learned about the Doctrine of the Hero MWZera. I was cheering for paiN because their my fav team in LoL and MW crushed them.

T1 fell off once tsm was signed bro. I also remember back in the days of double sentinel with the skadoodle sage op but then wardell and tenz started playing jett to op which was so crazy. Double and triple ops everywhere val was too crazy back then.

should've kept farming

First strike :p

After Reykjavik I think

T1 invitational. Pretty sure it was the first mainstream tournament in Valorant. After that I only ever watched 100T games when nitr0 joined up until The Guard’s Stage 1 run in 2022.

Cresp [#42]

Old head bro💀💀💀

nah he still a newfrog compared to me 😎😎😎

XQC during beta to get a drop.

watched every now and then around the time post reykjavik 2021, only started following consistently around champs 2021 and onward

Before Reykjavík 2021, I've watched some of tournament in NA. After that I've watched regularly and across region which has English broadcast...

First ever match was Envy vs Dignitas coz i was bored and i saw it on my twitter tl

I watched first strike NA but i never watched anything else up until masters reyjkavik
aftr reyjkavik i started watching religiously

From the start really, I remember watching Sen and they winning everything.

Also remember an interview where Zombs complains that they only interviewed him because no one else in the team wanted to be interviewed lol

X10 vs NV, but i forgot champion or master that time

first strike finals where 100t were against a totally lost TSM lol

bookerpdx [#13]

first val pro match i ever watched was SR G2 grand finals

yo dude r u like silver in game? i think ive seen u before

challengers 2022 split 1 when wardell still had a job😭😭😭😭

first game i watched

https://www.vlr.gg/event/466/valorant-champions-tour-stage-3-masters-berlin

THIS EVENT

First strike NA/faze invitational

T1 super team I think. With brax, ska, ibp players. Hiko with pubg guys, tsm dominated NA scene for couple months. EU scene didnt pop off that time, some OW guys like dafran and solary french team. SEN with sinatraa, sick, zombs, shaz,dapr were latecomers and not popular compared with 100t tsm c9 (tenz and friends), but they were team that first ended tsm era

100t yaboi dre💀

2021 Masters 2 Reykjavik

X10 vs NV, but i forgot champion or master that time
