yeah he should have at least had his own article, even if its one sentence. one of them said they discussed it and said it was too late but i think better late than never. an article about the community reaction to his passing wouldn't feel late either too.
it makes me really mad since they put up an article with a picture of demon1 and a jojo character and a tier 3 na roster getting dropped the same day. not putting up an article about probably the biggest news of the year is embarrassing since this is supposed to be the hub for valorant esports. I know its a sensitive topic but if they don't post about it then we get less awareness about mental health and we might have another situation like him.
they did this just didn't get any traction

what's kinda cringe is the fact that this site didn't do shit except slap one sentence about it in the middle of a bunch of small roster changes
really don't see how you guys couldn't have just thrown up an article with the tweet and a statement saying he passed with more to come at the end like you do with some roster change announcements
wouldn't even mind if they just took this and put it on the front page with no credit, better than just one line in the news only missed section
Since vlr.gg wants to write a whole article about demon1 going to japan and put twisten's passing in the news you may have missed section, I decided to write my own article about it.
On June 7th, 2023, Team Vitality announced in a tweet that Karel "Twisten" Ašenbrener passed away the night before at the age of 19.

In a statement from his mother on Facebook, she revealed his passing was caused by his struggles with depression, which Twisten announced after LOCK-IN . The full statement can be read in English here: https://twitter.com/xnapycz/status/1667128310487302145?s=20
Twisten began his Valorant career at the tail end of 2020, playing for teams like eSuba and Entropiq. After joining BIG in October of 2021, he was able to make a name for himself as BIG qualified for both 2022 splits of EMEA Challengers. After the formation of the Valorant franchised leagues at the end of 2022, he joined Team Vitality for LOCK-IN and VCT EMEA. He helped lead Vitality to the playoffs of VCT EMEA, where they finished in 5th-6th place.
As a member of the Valorant community, he was best known for his use of the Shorty in-game. This led to him donating 25 euros for every Shorty kill that occurred at the LOCK-IN event. As a result, many members of the community have paid tribute through moments of silence, Shorty-only rounds, and pledging to donate money to mental health charities for every Shorty kill that occurs over the next major competitive Valorant events.

If you or anyone you know is suffering from mental health issues, contact your local mental health hotline.
franchise-worthy player is much looser than people expect
everyone clowned on eg and c9 (me included) for keeping players like c0m, runi and jakee while dropping/benching yay and bcj and they ended up fighting for the tokyo and champs slot
cause pacific has actual regional fanbases unlike EMEA who only follow the big orgs
think SR and TTR need to top their groups
no weak link, you could theoretically upgrade every player but would lose out on all of the synergy this team has
sova on bind is 2021 shit, at least suggest fade who has synergy with raze and works better on small maps like bind
dephh really isn't that bad, idk why people keep acting like he's the worst player to ever touch the game
he's probably 3rd/4th competing with stellar with boostio clearly behind
Should make it an international award
KC get to win for once
they're in zekken's backpack rn watch the game
https://www.vlr.gg/player/1973/ripablo
he plays val now too
took out escobar tho
tip 4: don't buy sheriff light shields every round
newzera, bro is supposed to be a breach one trick yet doesn't seem to know how his util works
also 6 kills over 2 maps is horrendous
they should do it because winning too many rounds is unfair for the other teams that haven't played them yet. instant positive round differential.
they have chevron as a sponsor they ain't broke
oil money for the win
keeping him isn't too bad just don't force him on igl now
hazed is a free agent and can mentor him so he can be a better igl
easier fix is +hazed - com bcj back to initiator
i hope jzz is on that team tho because his name is funny
they're just giving everyone a chance by showing 100% of their power
clout-wise they're around zeta level
dfm are like eg level - only got in cause they're in league
cr is infinitely more popular what are you on
the reason they're not in is cause they fucked up the paperwork
kcorp were so bad that even the casters who are supposed to be neutral started shitting on them
rrq and dfm have at least improved
I don't think this match will be as funny as any kcorp match but I'm sure it will be great fun
teams like DRX have tried and switched back to raze for a reason
BBL's ascent might be the best in the world rn, beat both DRX and FNC on it
did you not see the drama if this continues he might be gone
used to be smashboards but now its dead so probably reddit/twitter now
nah he's right they both got rape allegations
all he had to do was hide and he was one bullet from throwing it
Watching this team is so fucking funny to watch lmaooooooooooo
2v5 on icebox yesterday and whatever the fuck this shit was is hilarious
giants too low but the rest is respectable
real list
S rrq
A mibr kcorp
B kru dfm
