OLD Vision Strikers/DRX fans come here

#1

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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?

#16

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.

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

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
