#AimWithPride
give him a break look how much more form drx is having with him as igl + new playstyle
ratio + dep drops 30 on h1ber + tennn has the game of his life
breeze into a brazilian team??
korean amateur team beat oasis gaming btw
13-0 dasnerth drops 30
with derke, 80-20 for fnatic
without derke, 60-40 but itd be close, didnt think itd be so dominant
ive heard haven and split are some of their good maps, ascent(?) (drx ban besides bind) is their best
breeze is brazil’s top map in general
maps would have to be haven-bind/breeze-split
does nip stand a good chance against drx tomorrow? genuinely wondering so any thoughts by brazilians would be appreciated :)
drx is undefeated on haven and has been since they first lost
if nip is here, can any brazilians tell me how this matchup would go if its nip v drx?
i think this properly represents japan as a whole, stax literally said this about cr last year in m3 berlin and that likely reflects on the other jp teams too unfortunately
"crazy raccoon there [group b]? theyre dogshit" his exact words, theyre already scrim buddies + zeta too
dubstep also said they dont like scrimming jp teams, and that secret scrims japan ~1 time a week
its just time at this point, it took japan every worlds until 2021 to get out of groups
give them actual time (a few more seasons/splits) and incorporate an actual group stage instead of just 2 open qualifiers
full sense, yes
x10, as of march 23 they still havent been paid
full sense had no issue paying the players and they received 3 million baht each
there wasnt, there was no enforced contractual obligation to pay the money

This is an update report to the initial rumor on X10 not paying the Champions cut to the roster in January.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Despite statements by the organization following original rumors, Crws came out in March and dispelled the org’s claim; stating they still haven’t been paid.
X10 CRIT; a Thai VALORANT organization, rose to fame in 2021 from the initial season of the VALORANT Champions Tour. They held strong results in the Riot-sanctioned tournaments that they had competed in; taking a first place finish in Stage 1: Masters SEA and qualifying to Masters: Reykjavik, finishing in 8th place.
These strong results were enough to qualify X10 to VALORANT: Champions, the end-of-the-year finale to the VCT 2021 circuit, where they ended up finishing in the quarterfinals.
Champions also included a custom skin line, in which 50% of the proceeds from community purchases went to the 16 teams attending the event. This revenue came out to be $18.7 million USD, as of a report by Upcomer, with each team receiving around $585,000 USD.
However, the organizations that were given the revenue cut were given full control in how much would be given to the members; with X10 stating that their split would be a 90/10 (org/team) cut between the full roster; amounting to about $8,357 USD per player, or 280,000 Thai Baht.
In January of 2022, after the roster split from X10 and became XERXIA Esports, one of their players in foxz opened up about some of his issues with his former organization on Twitch, making allegations of X10 never paying, or having issues with paying the players their share of the Champions skin revenue.
A highlight of this was uploaded to YouTube by Thai channel madmax, where it garnered around 200,000 views and gained controversy within the Thai scene. An initial report about the scandal can be seen here, discussing and listing information about the topics discussed within the video.
The situation quickly blew up, eventually leading to the only remaining member of the Champions-attending roster; their coach 0bi, to respond to the allegation alongside other organization members.
0bi claimed that all players received their 10% cut of the Champions skin revenue, as well as saying that the players also received the full Champions prize pool money, ($40,000 USD total) and disclaimed the truth of the rumors by foxz and other community members, passing it off as greed by the players.
Although despite this claim, in March, sources at Upcomer stated in an article about Champions skin revenue cuts that although 0bi claimed that the players received 10% of the revenue, he was the only one that had an agreement to receive the aforementioned cut, in addition to the org also refusing to discuss the matter.
Independent sources also claim the same point made; also saying that 0bi in addition to the org’s staff were the only people to receive the money, with the players still having yet to receive anything.
Although the claim by Upcomer would come out much sooner down the line, the situation mostly died down following the initial response by the organization in January. Future reports on the matter would also receive not as much popularity as the initial report regarding foxz’s claims.
However, in late March, another ex-player; Thanamethk “Crws” Mahatthananuyut, stated new information in an interview with ONE Esports which revealed that despite the claims by the org’s staff, X10 CRIT still never gave any of the agreed upon 10% revenue to the members who departed the organization.
Crws states in the interview that they were told that they would receive their 10% cut, but there was no contractual obligation to pay the money forward. In addition to this, he also gave a hint as to other information regarding the matter on a Twitch stream where he said that he initially played to retire from VALORANT after the current season, saying that he couldn’t give the exact reason why, but it would be a “surprising” story. It is likely this story relates to the controversy, as his interview with ONE Esports was publicized shortly after saying this.
This now makes Crws the second member of the ex-X10 CRIT roster to put into accusation whether or not the money from the Champions skin line was really paid to every player on the roster, alongside the aforementioned foxz.
With the claims from the players, alongside sources from other parties, it is most likely that despite the organization’s claims to truth, the now-XERXIA roster members were never given their promised share of the VALORANT: Champions skin revenue, and it is unknown whether they will (or have) receive the money at some point.

Following an early elimination in open qualifiers for VCT Japan, Suggest is now looking to return to Korea, according to sources.
Seo “Suggest” Jae-young, a member of DetonatioN Gaming White’s VALORANT roster is now seeking new opportunities for Stage 2 of the VCT.
Joining the Japanese organization in November of 2021 after the disband of NUTURN Gaming, he was recruited alongside former Korean IGL of MVP:PK CSGO, HSK, who moved to VALORANT after the end of his military service. The other members of the roster included the standing roster of DetonatioN’s PUBG team, alongside a 6th man in ex-Feeling player Killer to round out the roster.
Yet, unfortunately, the team failed to reach initial expectations with the notable players under their belt, suffering 0–2 eliminations in open qualifiers to IGZIST and Reignite, despite the strong numbers put up by Suggest and HSK.
In March, DetonatioN placed a recruitment post on Twitter for its VALORANT team; looking for players who could fill the Duelist & Flex role, which Suggest played during Stage 1 qualifiers. Although the organization stated soon after that this would not be involving Suggest or HSK, rumors from the community held firm in thoughts that the two Koreans would leave the team.
Despite this statement, sources can confirm an interest by Suggest in wanting to return to Korea, however HSK’s future on DetonatioN is unknown as of now.
As of recent confirmation, Suggest has had at least three organizations interested in signing him; yet refused all three offers. It is unknown which orgs have taken an interest in him as of now. Yet, it is likely he will return to Korea for Stage 2 of the VCT.
If Suggest departs the team, the Japanese roster will consist of:
updated with new scrimbux from 8/12 teams
surf said that on the post where he put the scrim
zeta left last week, on twitter you can see images of them in reykjavik
no clue if its a meme or not
