xeus :)

Dude played like a beast, great positioning. Another hint that we as viewers have pretty much no clue what most talents really are capable of... xD

I hope that he continues to perform like that.

trexx will score 30 assists... wait... :X

Another Russian / Kazach menace.

But honestly... GENG needs stop changing and changing players. Stick to your roster and maybe try to get them more comfortable in their environment.

I was almost in shock while reading that news. After Derke trexx was the 2nd strongest Vitality player in Bangkok and Kickoff. So when his comms are a problem (which is the reason regarding to several sources) then hire a performance or mental coach or something who works with him / the team. The man is 20 years young, played with Sayf for a very long time, knows how Tier 1 works, is easily on of the worlds best Initiators at the moment and instead of trying to work with him and giving him a chance to work on his comms and "tilting", they just sign a Tier 2 dude with no experience and not even really good numbers... and then look how trexx dismantled T1 in their first match.

Signing a 16 years young Sayonara for the future is nothing bad, he is probably on the wanted list at 70% of the worlds top teams - just like a canezerra. But in what world can CyvOph (take a look at his recent performance) replace trexx? Especially in Tier 1.

Big L to bench trexx, imo.

I don't know the exact reasons obviously, but in what world can trexx be replaced like that? I mean afaik this is based on his comms. Why not hire a performance coach or something like that to make him work on his calling / social connection?! His fragging is awesome, his util and positioning is top notch.

To the signings: Sayonara is one of the biggest talents in the world and with his 16 years he is def. hunted by a lot of big orgs for a future contract (just like Fnatic and others), so that's def. a big catch for the future.

Fnatic and health issues... bro... :(

Get well soon, Erik. <3

Szed being a studied sports & business psychologist is a crazy addition as performance coach.

tex so good, but I think Demon1 really needs to play on Jett.

After this I want to see primmie at Liquid together with Keiko and nAts.

Never thought about that, but they know their team better...

Or this match: https://www.vlr.gg/2062/sentinels-vs-envy-pop-flash-tournament-opening-b

xD sinatraa and mummay LMAO

Wow, that's such a long time ago. But that match was nice.

BBL are so fun to watch... how easy Lar0k wins that 1v3 with ulow HP is crazy!

ComeBack, Lar0k and Loita are amazing.

ComeBack is the next xeus. That dude is legit insane.

Bro, some rounds were insanely unlucky for FOKUS. But in the end, DNSTY def. played the better Valorant today.

GGs

FOKUS vs. Eternal Fire will be crazy!

al0rante, the master of Split!
Let's go FKS!

Moroccans are not "black". They belong to the Arabs and Berbers.

Oh damn. :(
May she rest in peace.

I hope he can find some time to calm down after all this pressure.

GG T1. More than deserved!

People falling for the bait of someone named "Valoranthater". :P

Guys... everyone knows Europe still has the most trophies in Valorant, that's why people like him still feel the urge to spread their hate under a false name because they have nothing else in their lives. It's actually so sad. In CS you can't hate because Europe has 20 majors and NA 1.

And in Valorant? You still act like you're the best while having one trophie LESS than EMEA.

And who gets the trophy this year? An European org named G2. :'D

Where did nAts carry him?

Sayf is a great player, whoever calls him a fraud never really saw him play as a Duelist or without IGLing.

He wasn't IGLing last season. And he has actually not that much international experience... I def. think this whole IGL thing is demanding a lot. H played mainly duelist before as well.

100%. Leo is first and foremost so insanely famous because he also makes a ton of kills and is just gifted by his mechanical abilities - but the actually heavier impact was always accomplished by his insane util with Sova, Fade and Skye.

Another good example is something from PRX as a learned Duelist. He plays a lot of Initiator recently and even though he still flicks the sh*t out of people his role impact is not even comparable with a Leo or a trent (or a Sacy), simply because his util with Sova and Fade is not on this crazy level yet (with Breach and Gekko it works).

Didn't they already dismantled that myth?!

When I watched those behind the scenes videos of Sentinels on YT, I feel like kaplan and also some players said N4RRATE added a lot of communication and especially calling out mistakes. I think the man is insanely competitive and works his ass off, so a totally different situation than Vernos.

Btw.: Whoever is the observer at these games... please watch a tutorial or whatever. You are never on the right POV and your replays never show the important killcams and mostly stop before the end of the replay. You basically didn't show a single round winning kill on Haven.

Yo what? Ehm... GGs?!

Poor Tarik. :(
Happy Harmii. :)

EDG is not so strong because of KangKang, they are so strong because of being a perfect unit.

I'd say career wise aspas and Derke are #1 and #2 and then comes KangKang - several reasons for that.

But (!) EDG also have CHICHOO AND Smoggy, which belong to the top 3 players worldwide on their positions as well. EDG is like Heretics but more experienced.

CHICHOO is the clutch master. The way he disconnects his enemies and is roaming is almost perfection.

Yeah, probably. I mean I find it just amazing that players like him are still so on fire even after having 2 won majors. That shows how great players like Derke, Less etc. really are.

I can hear the Fnatic HQ sighing until my living room...

But for real: Two insanely strong teams and Derke made the difference no joke. That dude is on fire.

IGL as Initiator + first ever seaosn for him IGLing and he's doing an fantastic job. He showed before that he can frag, now he needs to call the whole strats, it's def. something new.

Vitality played so good. That ace of Derke was beautiful! Bro, I wish Fnatic would have signed that guy. 💀

Also crazy how insanely good IGLing works on the Initiator role, Sayf def. called them so many important rounds on Bind even though he got very bad stats then. But everyone did their jobs.

T1 still a very good team, they showed it the whole season.

G2 2:0 TE

*Edit: Wow, I finally had a direct tip correct.

DRX are legit back.

He'a so good. It's always so wholesome how nAts and CHICHOO directly post pictures. xD

Also flor won't make a difference here. It's just a fact that the level of Challengers is a Tier higher than Game Changers.

Kapio (CGN coach) was right... BBL PACIFIC are THE team to beat at Ascension. Alone ComeBack looks like a legit monster. It's crazy how every year you have at least 1-2 Turkish talents to be good enough playing a solid Tier 1 season. Like Brazilians in Americas.

If BCF won't win Ascension, some team def. needs to sign ComeBack.

So Verno needed to leave because it didn't work out online and offline and bonkar wanted to keep Verno to the point that NRG and bonkars "vision of the team" (-> X) were so different, that they also decided to part ways with bonkar.

Actually sadge. I think it could have been a great story. Verno is def. one of NAs biggest talents and insanely skillful and bonkar is easily one of the best coaches / Valorant brains.

But sometimes it simply doesn't work. Shit happens.

Sayonara and Canezerra are insane. 16 years young is crazy ^^

Bro, they had a different team last season.

al0rante, DaviH and xuss are the best in the league... always delivering on their positions, always pulling off crazy numbers.

Absolutely.

al0rante <3

Wasn't his best map on Haven, but he is always good for insane performances. His 46% HS in average of the season are ridiculous as well. I hope so much that this FOKUS team will grow and grow... they have a lot of potential.

Techpauses are def. insanely annoying, but by the crowd it's better than 90% of VCT.

Sadge. musashi is such an big, big IGL and azury gets better and better. I think when they were 11-10 ahead on Lotus they would have won it... but then this insane tech pause came and they even got withdrawn a round.

SGE had a lot of bad luck today.

He is the IGL and Split is def. insane when it comes to that. Bro is a great player and I think musashi is someone who would resign before taking money for a rigged game.

But yeah, the tech pauses were weird as hell.

Worst tech pause since Red Bull 2023.

Btw.: Regarding stream it will be backrolled to SGE 09-10 CGN because of heavy tech issues on CGN side.

*Edit: Now they said 10-10.

16-17 years young talents like Canezerra, Sayonara, nightz, ion2x etc. playing already so good, I wonder how brutal they will be a in a few years having the most important "developing years" still ahead of them.

Def. gonna stay awake for this one. :)

I like UFC and K1... *Edit: Btw.: Enjoying a game doesn't mean I love every org or team or support just the winner of every major. I always supported Fnatic since 2022 and just enjoy good esports in Valorant and CS2... I just enjoy watching it. Doesn't matter what region... I also enjoyed G2 vs. Sentinels and T1 vs. DRX.
