OLD Vision Strikers/DRX fans come here

Yesterday, k1Ng was streaming and during his stream he shared a very touching story - everything below is k1Ng's words:

One day, stax said, "Even if it's gonna be later, let's make a team with just the 00s: Zest, Lakia, stax, and k1Ng. Just the four of us."

I asked jokingly, 'Who will be the fifth member?" and I said, "Let's get a rookie as a duelist and let just the four of us play together"

I had said that jokingly at the time. A few days later, I suddenly felt a desire to play Valorant. I launched Valorant and went to the shooting range. While shooting, I suddenly started crying.

I think I was really happy to feel a little bit of a desire to do it(play Valorant) again.

I don't mind if that day never comes. I was really happy just to hear those words. But, Stax! I thought he would never say words like this, so when hearing him say like that, I was in shock. He is usually quite shy about expressing such feelings so I was a bit surprised about that.

I just love and miss Vision Strikers so much, man.

by the way i once again ask to bring back Vision Strikers and Gambit flairs

Based

Could see the roster working but Zest is beyond washed

K1ng was an exceptional player. It's saddening that T1 decided to release him after a few months without playing an official.

at first i thought this was a copypasta but this genuinely makes me feel so nostalgic

wish we can turn back time

we need k1ng back

He still clears your entire region 8x over but aight

literal shots to my heart bruh T-T, I miss them so much

it's not even about this possible roster. those guys may never play again together

it's about the brotherhood the old VS/DRX core had, that we lost

yeah...

k1Ng is still hanging out with T1 everyday but I really miss him as a player. i just wish he comes back after the military

Wait is that why he left? Or did he leave T1 for other reasons and then went for military services?

he left T1 because his English was not good enough to play in an English-speaking roster. while he was inactive, he decided to complete his military service.

And this is why Stax is my goat

bruh zest was literally the highest rated player in that game despite losing

BarbaraCult [#10]

I loved the VS core so much, they were literally kids when they came into Valorant together

I've been heartbroken after hearing this story ngl

Fair but he was playing against Grandpa Laz + 2 of the worst franchise players ever. How do you let Grandpa Laz get a +17 on you, this is not 2022

k1Ng will be ineligible to play until mid 2025 I think. he still does the military duty

k1ng done dirty throughout his val career
one of the most talented players who should be still playing

I was there when it happened. He was hard baiting. Top fragging is easy when you're a natural born baiter, an NBB. This is a team game. He is playing support. Seeing the scoreline, clearly, z0st is not a good player or at least not good at doing his job.

why would you link one of his best games

damn it really has been a while since valorant launched.....feels like yesterday

ButterflyEffect23 [#26]

no the translation was really good.

you cut off most of the filler and all of the Korean slang/curse/tech (e.g. non-koreans won't know about kakao most likely, and saeki and shibal, although I assume the west has caught on, were omitted)

the intro kinda reminded me of a typical copypasta so that's the reason as to why I had a double take lol, especially since ur not the type to really spew copypasta

k1Ng saying that he cried while looking at the range bots made me so fucking sad

he deserves so much more

is Laz a NBB then? bc all I saw was baiting from him, moreso than the rest of the BLEED's side.

at least think about your players before you hypocritically criticize the opposing team.

i guess I can discredit all of Laz's accomplishments during the post-chamber era of valorant by saying that he's a "NBB!!!"

must respect to your bait though, must be your very extensive baiting skills to even come up with random acronyms like NBB out of your washed Japanese ass.

keep supporting FL and glaze SyouTa all you want. in tier 2, that is, where you belong

he went positive on everyone except sugarz3r0

All players except Zest are still decent in Tier 1 valorant

You say it's bait but then you're this upset? All I did was preach the truth, z0st wouldn't fit in that team as he is clearly washed. Watch as he fades into irrelevancy right after bl00d drops him next year.

Praying he gets to play with Stax inT1 and they do full KR instead of the ENG shit

of course im upset

im here as a loyal vs/drx fan tryna defend one of the players that were so valuable for us and yet you're saying "Grandpa Laz," one of the most influential JP valorant players in the region your so proud about? wouldn't be surprised if the 2016 in your username stands for your birth date or the year something tragic happened to your prefrontal cortex, because clearly you lack maturity and/or critical thinking

off my dick

I'm not sure what will happen in the future, but I really just want to see k1Ng play Valorant, doesn't matter if it will be on T1

he's an exceptional talent that deserves so much more

Stopped reading at "of course im upset." I was right. Clearly you have some issues to sort out. Hope it works for you.

tbh coming to the nostalgic thread about one of the most iconic Valorant teams just to shit on one player is just weird behavior, but whatever

Speaking of relapse, surely you would know a lot about it. You know, being upset at a comment made on VLR. Hope you get the help you deserve

some people here have a weird hateboner for Zest, ngl

he's a serviceable support player with great utility, what more do people want from him

I genuinely don't get it

besides the argument

is everything okay? all of your posts on VLR seem to be bait/pressed arguments. lowkey seems rough, but if IRL is overwhelming VLR isn't the best place to vent/rage.

this really isn't to justify my argument (which I deem is impossible to convince you), but to ask if you genuinely need to talk in PMs. you remind me of one of my friends who had trouble with their anxiety and ventposted on HLTV, and he's doing much better after distancing himself from any forums. introspection might help, keep your head up
