Can I ask y'all why you support your respective orgs? There are an insane amount of flairs and I just can't imagine all of you are Bugha/TenZ fans or Boaster enjoyers
Be honest, how many of y'all are bandwagoners. And WE will question you if you sound like one.
Fans of other orgs: lmk how y'all chose your orgs
lol idk i came from fortnite so him and tenz were the only two vct players i knew, so i rooted for both teams until the first game of Madrid and then stuck with TH after that, i have no clue why i didn't root for SEN because they won that series
there's many alternate universes where i'm a sen fan probably
I also came from fort so seeing Benjy in tier 2 was a shocker. Wished Mongraal and MrSavage did the same.
the first tournament i watched was tl vs fanatic and chose derke as my fave bc he looked like he was struggling. Did not know they had just won lock in and they were reigning champions.
In LA, EG eliminated fanatic and i was so bitter that i started rooting for prx. Sad that prx lost, i thought their story was really good. Watched their other matches. They were a fun group. They became my fave.
That wasn't EG. Loud was the one to do that. Knocked them lowers then beat them out of 4th place lol
Sen fan since i played overwatch and zombs/sinatraa were overwatch players prior to valorant
FNC fan since i watched a video about their comeback during LOCK IN. I just liked their mental throughout and just kinda stuck with the team. I grew to like the players the more i watched the org content, and I just love watching them play cause of how they will absolutely outplay other teams even just in the micro decisions. But yeah i just like the players and content and stuff. Im also not a fake, i dont bandwagon after ONE LOSS....
Id stick with this team to the end I love Fnatic
i better not see a surge of karmine corp flairs once they win champs!
100 Thieves are a really close second of course!
and uhhhh i was a fan of kc because they were the first org i liked and are french which is basically half canadian.
IF DSG COMES THO 👀👀
I've been rooting for SEN since the first ever masters back in 2021, and haven't stopped since. Honestly I just respect these guys (back in the day it was Tenz, now it's JohnQT and Zekken), however I do think that the 'fans' can be insanely annoying sometimes, especially on this site...
so many annoying mfs will represent flairs wrongly and make us all look bad :(
is this a safe space to admit I was originally a fnatic fan before I joined VLR 💔
A video analysing lock/in was basically my introduction to VCT so fnatic fan was just the default settings.
And then I made a VLR account and put on the wolves flair as a joke (I watched them in china a little bit and I watched the game that qualified them for Toronto) and then I started shitposting/ragebaiting about how they were underrated and were gonna beat Sen in their first game, and right after they barely lost to Sen 2-0, I was genuinely REALLY mad because they really could’ve won, then I realised it lowk wasn’t a joke anymore 😭😭
all the ragebaiting converted me 💔
Worth, china is much more interesting than emea, even when you’re losing 26-6 to all gamers #wolveschamps
did you watch this vid?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saF-ywllha4&t=2369s
This is the vid that got me into fnatic and VCT
i support random shit teams every year, this year it was AG cause i started watching china more and now they've improved and they're in the playoffs. Though originally I was just rooting for a shit team to get better/win a match.
there's no set criteria why AG, i was just watching them one day and rooted for them.
Fnatic fan from the start in 2021 pretty much. Always liked the org and I like Boaster. I like the playstyle too of the team. Slow, methodical, and strategic. Boaster and Marved were also the players that got me to be a controller main back in 2021/22. All that leads me to be a Fnatic and NRG fan to this dsy. I also enjoy the Japanese teams in Pacific along with PRX.
Fnatic fan since they qualified for masters iceland 2021 and I didnt actually believe that they ever will be as dominant as they were because they were originally known as "the chokers"
im an obligated sen fan because my sister is friends with zekken
wolves are a close second because i love siufatbaobei
I saw Shroud watch partying 2021 reykjavik and boaster pulling his shenanigans. I was rooting for both sen and fnatic till the grand finals. We then got till map 3 and I really wanted a best of 5 so I started supporting fnatic. Been a fnatic fan ever since. This includes the heartbreaks of not qualifying for masters Berlin, Copenhagen 2022 etc
First thing I ever watched about valorant was the grand final of Reykjavik 2021. Saw how close it was and that they were EMEA so I started supporting them, but they didnt make Berlin and so i became a gambit enjoyer after watching Sheydos vs 100T, then saw nAts vs G2 icebox (also the comeback against VKS was insane). M3C eventually disbanded and chronicle went to FNC so I became a FNC enjoyer again.
i watched the guard back when they went to their first international, felt really bad when they didn't get into partnership, so now I'm a g2 fan.
I choose a favorite team per region, fnc is my favorite ever since that insane lock/in final (also because i hate loud so i was super happy they won and smashed loud)
For some weird reason FPX is my favorite chinese team (idek why)
and then apac my favorite team was DFM literally because they had the odin goat art. But he's gone now so idk what to do. Maybe talon?
You know what’s really funny about this thread, not a single one of the rage baiting little cucks who slap on a SEN/FNC flair replied.
All of the stories are really cool to see. I didn’t know about sumn fc
FNC since 2023 but joined vlr last year after observing for 4-5 months
Give me some more clarification here Snorlax, are you telling me you started supporting FNC in the midst of their record breaking season?
… so you chose the team that won the most to start supporting?
I never was so much in to Val esports back then just a normal fan of the game
i used to watch pro fortnite all the time before vct and bugha was one of my fav players who was signed to sen at the time, but over the course of 3 years I started following and watching the sen val roster and rlly liked them. im just a huge riddle fan too and hope they ascend this year or be considered for partnership in a year and a half
Yea this is truly one of the reasons I never doubt PRX flairs, because that team has genuinely been so fun to watch on and off-line for so many years now.
Been watching since 2021 iceland, i just like supporting my region overall, but xset won me and now i rep sen for zekken and also because i like na!
watched a commend video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoJnp-XKZfQ&pp=ygULY29tbWVuZCBwcng%3D then watched a prx game and liked their team. had this flair since i joined vlr lmao
Dapr guide on how to jump spot and play time, there's also this one clip of him running ring around the rosie C haven playing time WAY back in the day and I've supported him and SEN as a result ever since
sen fan but also i dont use sen flair bc obviously
i followed zekken since before xset, i knew he was insane
i also really like the environment currently and like how the players' personalities compliment each other
also srg is awesome
most sen fans are legit cuz of tenz, still hella sen flairs back in 2023 when they sucked
Most people are Sen gand because of Tenz and most people are FNC fan because of Boaster
SEN : during 2019 i think? XQC was signed as the stand in for at the time the tier 2 overwatch roster sentinels, so i watched all their games in hopes that XQC plays (he did not play a single game). i was new to the esport scene as a whole back then, and shortly after SEN made their first apex roster which has zombs on it, and at the same time i was a huge SF shock fan and naturally sinatraa / supertf. so yeah all my favourite players at the time went to SEN, Aceu too from apex then of course when i swap to valorant couple years ago i immediately look at sen and supported them
FNC : cantlie i just like boaster LMFAO hes such an entertaining personal
I was rooting for the NA team to make it through to champions. Instead, Ascent slipped through our fingers, denying a run into Champions.
I now await something, anything that can showcase how well 100T can play at an international level.
i mean you could watch 100T's run at shanghai where they ultimately got fucking dunked by TH
because zekken, I'm switching flairs in nanoseconds after zekken switches org
no flair, im hatewatching every team since 2022. I also hate how boaster trying so hard to be the "fonni guy" from FNC and its also annoying to see his gf have a twitter drama every fucking year, so yea.
Optic because of this video: https://youtu.be/4K1w_cHUZUU?si=EC5R_ogkd49voTdY
Was A big FNC league fan so when they started their Valorant team I naturally supported them but i was a big fan of their lock in roster hope my goat leo comes back
My friends got me into watching vct and most of them support sen, so I as well naturally started rooting for them, and I kinda liked the team so I stuck around and here we are
been a fan since the first masters was a fan on sf shock so sinatraa got me into sen but I stayed for tenz, then zekken, now johnqt and zellsis
Woaster is the goat, can mold rookies into killing machines. His charm/charisma is unmatched, never seen another pro twerk on stage.
I was originally an X-Set fan and then when they weren't in Valorant anymore I switched to Sen since that was where Zekken went and I also liked Sacy which also encouraged me to be a Sen flair. I eventually found my true Goats DRG and haven't looked back since.
Been supporting sen since the pre tenz era but what really got me hooked was actually the sen vs guard breeze map where shroud clutched in the last round and casters did not even notice for a moment lmaoo hilarious shit
eh, not playing post stage 1 is prolly gonna lead to a lot of the top teams underperforming, champs points also lead to better teams making champs
would be more fun to watch but prolly makes champs worse
sinatraa was my favorite OW Player and was the first OW Pro to switch games to Valorant -> he joined SEN and thats how it started with SEN.
for FNC it just caught my attention that they always had a bigger Core that stuck together through all the times and Boaster is just the nicest VAL Pro so i continued to watch (oh and Leo 🤤).
for GAMBIT it was just that i watched the biggest what if roster of all times (give me back prime sheydos...) and really enjoyed nAts as you can see in my name. He is my favorite player together with Leo and i even got inspired by him in using a similar name)
yo when i was getting into vct i got into it right before loud vs optic final (reykjavik)
so yknow i had to pick one to cheer for
cheered for OpTic
they didnt disappoint 😏😎
so it stuck on
and now we cheering for nrg 🤪😝
#MVGA
FNC since Reykjavik because of Boaster and Mistic. Still follow Mistic to see how he’s doing and Boaster has stayed the whole time. Grew to like Derke over the years as well so now I’m hoping VIT make a run to champs.
Supported fnatic since 2015 in their cs days, now i just support them in val aswell
Aspas on a shit team and org, so my #2 in the game is Alfajer. Also saw potential in Kaajak as well from the very beginning. Liquid looking nice too but always know they will fall short at the end, sadly.
Don't care. I go by players I like and not orgs. Why would I support MIBR if they suck ass?
I love cryocells. But also I liked bang and boostio and rn I like Zander and eeiu so I mean it’s just a team full of players I like.
back then was a gambit fan after they dispanded i went with chronicle bc i loved him and loved whole fnatic after this with boaster etc matched my vibe 100%
FNC and Gambit were honestly just the first teams i supported back in the day, and with chron joining fnc i just ended up sticking around. The fact that they’re successful is a nice bonus, but I just enjoy sticking to one team and supporting them. Also; ended up meeting boaster after a game I watched in Berlin and he was a cool guy irl so thats a nice bonus
watched the FNC 3-11 comeback live (not from brazil) and i was happy for fnatic, especially because boaster had been waiting for a trophy since reykjavik 1 but not really a huge fan but after watching them win tokyo thats sorta what got me really interested in them, plus chronicle was a player i enjoyed watching since the beginning of the vct and his performance in 2023 kinda made me pick val back up after not playing since beta and ive been a fan since
Been a FNC fan since champs 22 cause I found boaster entertaining. (I crashed out every time alfa picked neon fracture)
Also have a soft spot for navi cause FPX PRX Copenhagen was the first pro game I watched, and BBL cause Jamppi is my favourite player.
Built my pc and started playing valorant in 2022. Obviously all the clickbait improvement/training videos were titled along the lines of "how to aim like TenZ" so naturally I looked him up. Saw a video about his story, felt he was a cool guy to support. Coincidentally as I looked up when pro matches were, there happened to be the LCQ Sen vs TGRD match happening soon (I didn't know what LCQ meant and since the vid said they won in 2021 I assumed they'd still be good a year later). After more research I ofc discovered that SEN were no longer as good as they once were and as they were eliminated from LCQ, watched Champs 2022 just trying to learn more about players and teams. Then as SEN went into the franchising era, I decided to keep supporting them
i've been a gambit fan 4ever and have followed nAts and chron since then. huge fan of tl and fnc as a result now. glad they both found good teams, but i do miss them playing together....also i would've put tl or fnc's flairs but im superstitious and feel like whenever i openly support a team, they flop so i picked the disbanded org's flair instead lol
