Still the one of the best Initiators. And many good players didn't win a major yet. trent also didn't and is one of the best Initiators.

And where is he a bum? xD Def. got more money than any of us.

crashies gets 28 this year and trexx just got 21... so I think you can't say trexx will never become as good as crashies because we simply can't tell yet. For now def. crashies.

ara is a monster!

GGs

GGs to DRX, they were simply better.

Keiko played nice today but one man being good is simply not enough.
I wonder what that nAts on Waylay experiment was?!

But yeah, congrats to DRX - I hope you guys will show some of the doubters how good you are. Big fan of MaKo eversince and I wish you guys all the best.

nAts vs. the world again... xD

Did I just reverse jinx?

GGs to MIBR, you guys play great.

I can't watch this anymore. This is the WORST Fnatic match I've seen the whole season. Everybody is doing insane mistakes, kaajak is shaky as hell... what's even happening? No way those are the PCs. I don't blame them, humans are no robots - but I still wonder what's happening. Where is the confidence? Where are the strats? This looks not even close to what they played against RRQ. What happened in the last days?

Bro... I'm baffled by this.

<3 aspas tho

T1 looked crisp but Heretics looked amazing 80% of the time (some very unnecessary lost rounds).

GGs! Was a fun match of S-Tier Valorant.

Okay, something is an absolute demon - so much fun to watch him play.

But who have thought that GIANTX are going to win a map against Paper Rex? Wow. They did really, really well for the players they have with that experience compared to the Masters winners.

Even though PRX won and they absolutely deserved it, also GGs to GX. They played good!

ara has a bright future ahead of himself.

Boastyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! <333

Chron the GOAT, too!

Bro... Heretics are like: "Should we throw this again like the last 1, 2 matches or just play S-Tier wordlcass again?" "Yeah, let's do the worldclass thing today."

What a match...

Nice try against T1. I mean... when DRG adress their obvious communication issues and work on that, they can actually become a good team. Was nice to see Demon1 shooting again!

Did I miss a tech pause? Damn.

Why am I so hyped to see Demon1 again? xD Bro, I thought I don't actually mind this match a lot but I'm cheering for every Demon1 kill and DRG winning a round. T1 are so good, but I hope DRG will make it tough. Sadge af that vo0kashu the head tapping machine is not there. :(

Wow. :X

All good brother, you will make your way.

So for M8 insane would be when they get their hands on Lar0k (Breach, KAY/O, Skye) and maybe stonezy (Sentinel and Minny as Flex then). But I guess when BCF wins Ascension in EMEA there is def. a chance they stick like that.

Bro I love mada, such a wholesome player!

GGs to NRG, insane game of you guys!

Smoggy was also amazing...

Oldschool Cloud back? At least he gets some credit now, dude is a legend.

GGs to GX.

Still I feel sorry for zekken, john etc. :/

o7 🐐
The best to ever play it until he had to stop.

F*ck long COVID.

I really hope that he will be able to return at some point, but even if he will never come back to play (which seems kinda sure at this point), I wish him all the best.

Valorant loses one of his OG goats today.

Is he not still able to resign with them? I wonder who they would sign instead. Dude is crazy experienced and a good fragger.

They initially said they are just testing stuff because the things are done for this season anyways. So good choice, imo. Instead of just running out and signing, at least trying out a guy you know.

So now... run out and sign a better one. xxD

o7 <3

So they gonna fully rebuild? Good idea. I mean after Ascension they literally can choose from all the best players left (every team that rebuilds of course). And I think there are many insane talents to sign...

o7

cNed -> DRG? :P

I bet he earns a ton of money there (which is nice) and to see vo0kashu and Demon1 in the same team is actually kinda nice. :)

Wish him all the best. Sayonara in his stream with shanks was right... Demon1 should switch the region to get a fresh start again.

o7 Absolute LEGEND. Born 1989 and still a pro player in 2025 in an environment with players being usually 15 years younger.

In CS it's not even that unusual and some of the best teams still have 30+ years old players, but in Valorant it's def. not the standard.

I hope he finds a good job as a coach.

So they will bring Neon and erde to T1?

Bro, I just love watching alym play. With a proper coach in Tier 1 (so better decisionmaking etc.) that dude will become a monster.

Yep. Can't wait to see players like canezerra, Sayonara, exa etc. play VCT.

alym is a beast, but ENVY are just too strong.

Harmii <3

Jesus...

GGs I guess?! Bro, what happened.

I wonder how crazy Champs going to be. So many teams on fire atm.!

What a crazy match. Technically and strategically absolute top level.

And then? nAts masterclass.

GGs to both teams and congrats to Liquid.

Makes sense. Teams like Apeks and KOI need basically a full rebuild. Luckily T2 in Europe is full of brutal talents... and they are all so young. You can find so many 17-19 years young talents and that's literally the ideal age to form absolute beasts with the right coaches.

I'm pretty sure until 2028 the skill base level and also the skill ceiling of VCT will rise further.

Nice to see Sayf the "Swiss" multi tool back in business, but kinda sadge performance wise. You still gotta give VIT the fact that they had the toughest season with all those changes here and there. 2026 with Sayonara will be a new + for them.

GGs to NAVI

First not insanely crazy match by kaajak since 10 series or so?! But I don't know if I like this "low flame" mode of Fnatic. I mean, yeah it makes a bit of sense when you're already 100% safe at Champions for a time and don't necessarily want to show your main strats on the best maps, but still... it's a nice thing and flex to win playoffs, it's 100k and experience and prestige for the team in the end. Collect the souls. 😈

But yeah... GG. KC has a crazy fan base. Probably the biggest beside of some Asian (Chinese) teams.

Keiko = MONSTER!

kaajak, Keiko, LewN etc. def. had a big impact on EMEA 2024 so far. Crazy to see talents always impressing a bit more...

BBL plays these maps NEXT level professional. Insane performance by Jamppis IGLing and LewN, PROFEK etc. are just amazing tactically and fragwise.

Who? xD
Just kidding. We got the Milan 🦅🦅🦅 x Scuttt x Szed trio!

Thanks for your service, Elma.

BABYBAY... 30 years old bro back to business showing them kids how it's done. 😈

I think it's because they are safe at Champs. I kinda knew it will happen when they won't play at at least 90% of their max against BBL. But in the end better now than later.

I knew this would happen. :X BBL is crazy with these maps. Lower is scary now.

But kaajak def. proved again he's the best duelist at the moment.

Leo... please return for VCT 2026. We miss you!

So when it's 03-2026 they will probably be:

Derke
Sayonara
Less
Sayf
UNFAKE (IGL)

Could be crazy.

Sayf was simply not himself as IGL and the break showed that as a 2nd indicator. Dude pulled the "ace per matches" world record in VCT as Duelist. Can't wait to see him back as Flex with no pressure. Not every player is meant to IGL.

tex and Sato are beasts! Was a crazy match...

Beautiful match by marteen, SUY and Saadhak.

Liquid are amazing but they simply got outsmarted tonight. Happens. Both teams are awesome and on a good way.

LewN... :O

pyroll can play literally every agent. I saw him during some matches when he played with our goat musashi at Acend (who could also easily IGL a VCT team btw.) and pyroll was impressive.

But I'm still wondering why they replace Elite. Dude is young and is def. great mechanically, so it has to be communication and stuff like that.

From the Tier 2 2024 season I also could imagine that Pa1ze would def. make a great addition for a team.

Currently it's crazy to see with that type of squads KOI and Apeks are competing. For the next season they could easily sign a way higher quality (obviously that goes down to several things, not just looking at stats and signing).

Why? Seriously... why?

azys, Boni, GLYPH, xavi8k, JA.... there are plenty Filipino players to choose from to build a new all-Philippines team with potential. Especially azys is a must sign.
