What? Karma? First of all: Where, when the stats overall are still positive for FNC?! Second: FNC lost Leo, signed Kaajak and got Sayonara for the offseason with the idea of continue to work with him. Vitality then quickly signed him afterwards and also talked with Chronicle behind Fnatics back, offering him way more money than FNC ever could and didn't respect the code of honor there and just announcing the contract without letting Cojo and FNC know. Rat behavior by the org. They did the same with signing of Scuttt - during a very critical phase of Fnatics work. PAL and the managment treated Less kinda weird in terms of respect and they cutted him off after he just sorted everything out to get his dad to Berlin as well - again not letting someone know and just saying "bye bye" (Less talked about that recently and PAL even said it was his idea).

Nobody talks bad about the players. Every FNC supporter loves Derke (Derke even here and then comes to FNC matches to watch live), Sayonara even just answered on one of Boasters PDF sheets he'd love to play / work with him again and Chronicle and the FNC players are even shouting funny things towards each other during every single match.

There is no spreaded hate. There is just trashtalk against the orgs managment and the orgs strategy, which is simply ratty. Vitality at the moment is basically Fnatic 2.0, that's a fact. But yeah... literally every FNC supporter on Reddit, YT etc. talks positive about Derke, Chron, Sayo, Scuttt and Jamppi. Jamppi worked so hard for this all... also with BBL. He deserves this.

Btw.: I'm supporter of FNC because of the players, not because I love the CEO of Fnatic. I like Vitalitys players, I love Vitality CS2 but I absolutely don't like the behavior of Vitality Valorants managment / squad builders.

Dark day for all FNC / PRX supporters and FNS... xD

Yeah, dunno. First map was a full desaster. I mean I was happy to see Derke perform like that on Jett (I hope he 24/7 Jett in London) but yeah... dunno man.

It just sucks that we're not able to have a constant roster for a few months.

Leo retires due to health reasons
Not able to sign Sayonara
Chronicle gone
Veqaj ill

Like WTF?!

Deserved win, deserved little revenge for them. Vitality finally performing like they're supposed to perform.
I'm happy for Jamppi, Chron, Sayo etc. Seeing Jamppi in tears like that made me feel like "Yeah, it's okay."

But yeah... Fnatic is def. "allowed" to lose like that with all that crazy roster bad luck.

GGs Lowers it is.

primmie <3

FS in London = max. cool!

GGs

Congrats GE, amazing match. What a team performance. Especially happy for PatMen...

But I really hope PRX will make it to London, too.

GGs

You can't say but Vitality earned this. After weeks of "meh" performances they showed up when it mattered. Sayonara def. showed why he is mentioned as one of the biggest rookies / talents in the world - especially someone who is good on any type of agent and has great mechanics at the same time. Clear MVP.

And also... I was not really happy with some of the things Chronicle did and said during recent matches, but what he just talked about sounded like the old Chronicle from Fnatic. Supporting the rookie (Sayo), helping his team in any way possible and talking about respect and "friends" when talking about Fnatic... that's really, really honorable.

kozzy is def. the craziest 16 year old player... I hope so much that he gets a contract with a serious attempt to make him a great T1 player.

Rest in peace! :(

BABYBAY is easily one of my fav. players at this point. I would love to see an offseason jff match with the oldest VCT players vs. the youngest. So BABYBAY, Boaster etc. vs. Sayonara, erde etc.

ENVY rebuild?!
Duelist: penny / Boni
Initiator + IGL: NiSMO / Dark3st
Controller: sorex / Notexxd / Spaz / exa / Zander / Shondex
Sentinel + 2nd Duelist: Demon1
Flex: Kyu / neT

Sooo many nice options from Tier 2 NA (don't take it too serious... I know it's not that easy)

Down to erde game. :)
But honestly... I was waiting for this guy to show up in VCT. Together with Neon he dominated Tier 2.
Nice to see LOUD becoming better and better... very sympathic team as well. lukxo, erde, Virty, caua, Darker... all are just chill and well mannered.

GGs

Very good adaptation from 100T. GGs

You're blind. He aced in the last match, also won almost an 1v5 clutch today... had literally 0 bait kills.
You have no clue about this game. His Phoenix and Raze are very good... his Veto was kinda meh.

Also... you should see that they're playing Neon x Raze. So who is entrying? Neon. bipo never gets entry kills, then you can't throw away your 2nd Duelist as well. So he gotta play smart. MiniBoo flanked and backshot almost half his kills on Lotus.

And when you still think "KD farming" works in Tier 1 like that you're lost.

GGs

Love to see MiniBoo giving starxo etc. some of their toxicity back with shooting their bodies (usually I don't like it, but you also never see him doing it - he just did it today and that's a clear sign).
And marteen should honestly run away when his contract is ending.
Love to see purp0 finally in a team where he feels home. Dude is such an amazing player. nAts W IGL. Likeable team.

marteen is insane on Raze and Phoenix. Not his fault that his team sucks.

I feel so bad for marteen. He is literally the ONLY player at M8 doing smart plays and has good aim. They need to rebuild for sure.

Absolutely deserved win, EF know how to not fall under pressure even though admitting to feel it and echo also said he feels a bit sad for GX, which is very sympathic in my eyes. Impressing. nekky is such an nice and chill IGL, I really like this guy - and the whole team.

Honestly... I don't think Vitality deserve this boost... especially after their dirty tactics to sign players and how their coach PAL treated Less and then Chronicle talking big about going to beat Fnatic (fail), Derke shooting Alfajers body etc. Vitality Valorant are like the opposite of Vitality CS2, which is the best team in the history of CS with the best player ever (ZywOo) being totally down to earth.

GGs

What a match. CyvOph did an insane job for being just a few days with the boys.

And Kaajak is slowly but surely coming closer to his 2025 form. Insane performance!

GGs

Get well soon Veqaj & thank you for playing CyvOph. <3

I hope this will be a great match even though it will be insanely difficult for FNC. I really like BBL, too.

PCF should keep al0rante and seven and replace the others. Or just keep al0rante.

TH look strong again. Old RieNs back? I hope so. :)

GGs

I alain related to Sayo? Because of the family name.

Yeah or like that. :)

True. wayne is def. very talented but maybe it's the playstyle and wayne is not used to the winter environment in central Europe. So yeah, maybe with the summer around the corner he gets better - and with Stage 2 VCT moves to Spain because I think many players didn't like the cold / rainy weather in Germany in fall etc.

Whatever happens... GSR is def. a crazy talent.

GSR is crazy, yeah. I wonder who he'd replace at TL next season?! purp0 gets better and better. Maybe nAts go full Controller, they replace wayne and put someone else on Senti.

Keikoooo. :)

I love seeing Keiko, something, Derke etc. on Jett again. I missed that.
And mada on Harbor is crazy work. xD

GGs Fun watch.

Yep. Only Sayonara looks promising... I mean he turned 18 just before Stage 1. He is their best fragger, plays great util, never stands up. I hope he finds a new team.

KRÜ playing perfect Valorant on their maps.

Developing into top favourites. You can tell they are just enjoying gaming. Just look at their kill distributions... the team play is on another level.

Here bro... just found this: https://x.com/ajdouninho/status/2047774758297624739

So many people see it like us.

CS2 Vitality > every other FPS esports team in history
What ZywOo, ropz etc. currently playing is literally the best competitive FPS we ever recognized. They set a new reference (still doing).

Neon & Sato vs. Demon1 & keznit :) This will be fun.

GGWP :)

Karma hits VIT once more.

Sayonara is easily one of the smartest players. Can't wait to see how he is developing... so damn good.

But yeah, I'm glad people saw Lar0k is a super friendly guy during the 1v1 vs. Jamppi. Trashtalk is not really showing peoples true personality (otherwise Fnatic and Derke / Chron wouldn't trashtalk during the game and being super chill afterwards).

Please 3 maps.

You are watching different matches then.

He just 1v4 Ace clutched and played great matches on Phoenix and Raze.

marteen is so good, Minny is also kinda good - especially because he is 2nd caller. But the rest of M8 look slow and bad, tbh.

Koshmaras fits Heretics vibe perfectly. They look so good again. Having fun, shooting. Good for them.

So yeah... marteen. Maybe Fnatic for 2027 for the case that we partially rebuild because it's not clear if crashies stays in EMEA and Boaster continues as IGL?! :)

Yeah, Desmo is crazy. Kaajak said he is one of the best of FNC in Kovaaks and is great in CS, too. I mean... he is Danish, he should be great in CS. xD

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees, babyyyy! :)
Can't believe we did it. Alfa finishing it with an Ace is pure cinema.

Never stop believing. :)

GGs ara is insane

Desmo is really good in this game but the whole team with Veqaj was on an insane route to more and more confidence. Sadge. Health is obviously more important, though. Get well soon Veqaj! <3

I hope we will somehow do this. :X Will be crazy difficult tho.

PCF are cursed. :( They should have won already by the 2nd map.

But for real... they show good Valorant and then for no reason I understand they throw rounds away. I really hope that they are going to figure out what the issue is. Stage 2 could get decent for PCF if they figure it out.

And I hope they change for Killjoy or Viper on Lotus.

GGs

al0rante and seven had crazy maps. al0rante is known to be insane on Split, but he literally played absolute S-Tier Split today.

Yeah, I mean Less even wanted to stay and he was kinda close with Derke, made arrangements for his dad to come and all that. And then PAL literally removed him. Also - did you see how they announced Chronicle? Dirty. And they also signed Sayonara even though they 100% knew Fnatic wanted him and he played with Fnatic in the offseason. That's why I think Vitality losing is super satisfying. I don't know if most of the things can be tracked back to their head coach PAL, but the fact how all these things happened are rough. And also Less and Derke asked for more freedom in their playstyle and PAL denied that - another bad decision (just look at how bad they're playing now... winning so many crazy strong rounds).

When it comes to KC and Saadhak I don't know how it went in the end but I guess he had a standard 1 season contract. Their welcome show for Saadhak and the others was INSANE. They filled a arena with dozens of thousands of people and he was celebrated like a superstar. I think KC did a great job with most of their players (marteen and N4RRATE also said they have a pretty good structure) and I bet he got paid well. KC def. have big time money, just like Gentle Mates, KRÜ etc. - all the teams with big names behind. I mean... marteen, SUYGETSU and Saadhak in one team was def. a strong core - they won against G2 and they had some really good matches but I think overall it was a bad project because KC are also way too quick with the changes in my eyes and just as you mentioned - Engh didn't give Saadhak enough freedom.

In the end... good to see that Less and Saadhak are united again and it's going well for them.

I'm with you there. They treat some of their players like crap. Vitality... ;)
Less deserved better. 100%.

Seems you know exactly how transfers and contracts work. 🤡🤡🤡

This was almost perfect Valorant from KRÜ today regarding the still existing meta. Less and Saadhak in a team together again... feels just amazing to watch them play like that. Honestly... I think NRG seemed a bit off but still - KRÜ were 2 levels better today.

GGs was fun to watch

trent is by far the most consistently playing Initiator since Leo stopped playing.

When Neon and Sato go 100%, they win.

Who is still doubting artzin? Dude is one of the mechanically strongest IGLs.

s0pp is such an entry beast... he will get BRUTAL this year. One of my fav. players for sure.

purp0 / Liquid looking better and better, but still some details to work on - especially egainst teams who are mechanically as insanely strong as FUT.

Never been so torn apart for a match beside of maybe PRX vs. FNC.

PCF with my bro al0rante... can't root against him.

GGs Absolutley deserved win. Vitality look bad, tbh.

I wish we could have seen Sayonara develope at Fnatic – under Boaster.

I could def. see Sayonara like Verno in the future and also becoming an IGL. Dude is a true Flex, insanely smart and professional for just being 18 - AND he is mechanically gifted. Great career ahead of him.

Favian also super friendly dude... big W for his interview!

This match will be fire! :)

marteen said he had 2 bad games and finally feels good again and will be better today... and he is. Dude is just crazy.

But also nice to see Beko aka Ryan Gosling aka ComeBack again... I just like this fella. Chloric fits NAVI so well, too. And every team with Hiro gets +10 sympathy anyways.

But yeah... whaaat a finish of GLYPH!

GGs, was a cool match!
