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.

No one really carried at Vitality. They all did their jobs to almost ideal Valorant.

Derke as an entry monster, Less anchoring and rifling, Sayf roaming as a Flex + great util usage by Kicks and trexx. Just beautiful to watch. 3x 80+ kills is crazy.

What an insane match.
Derke, Sayf and Less are incredible.

And Liquid are a serious, serious team again. I think it was pretty clear to see that their strength with nAts as an IGL is definitely on maps where they can lurk a lot and win rounds by smart positioning - and that played out very well on Split and Haven, where you traditonally can outwalk your opponent a lot, lurk and roam extremely well.

And just as G2 leaf said it yesterday... Vitality have a lot of firepower. That's their strength. Derke as the ultimate pressure machine, Sayf as an Flex player with crazy rifling and Less as one of the best aimers in the game.

Crazy series to watch. Both teams look very crisp. For G2 as a German org it def. was smart to not go again for another EU team at that time, they picked up some insane players there. I remember watching The Guard winning Ascension. trent is def. one of the most insane players right now... that dude is brutal. For me as a big Fnatic fan I feel like he is the only Ini beside of RieNs that comes close to Leo.

Sentinels can win against any team in the world with a bit more fine tuning, though. N4RRATE and bang are very good additions. And with SEN it's like with Heretics... you can add +10 strength for Majors anyways. :P I bet they will be a true menace in Bangkok. zekken is also still one of the most fun players to watch.

mini: "This isn't the Heretics that I know."

I think we all can agree here.

But they're humans, sh*t happens. Sometimes you need a little downfall to be able to stand up stronger.

And CHICHOO meeting nAts is always wholesome. :P

Something seems off since they had their insane illness wave. I think Wo0t was ill twice and everyone else once or something like that. They are super young... I think last season was so insanely crazy for a debut season that now everyone thinks they can't fail. Maybe it's also that pressure.

Congrats Sentinels. :)

Still sad for aspas the holy... :(

Vitality are insane. Derke and Less fit them perfectly.

Derke is truly a duelist... someone who does his entrying job and distracts the opponent from the very first second, putting them under heavy pressure even if that means to get blasted by his own Tejo... xD But yeah, Derke is insane this season again. <3 Also crazy that he just got 22... :O

But (!) Heretics showed on Haven that they are still Heretics... aiming crisp and showing insane skill. I wouldn't interpret too much into this loss. They had similar losses in 2024 against Fnatic and KC and ended up playing two 2:3 grand finals in Majors. Every team should be "allowed" to have a down phase... it's e-sports, it happens.

Still def. an impressive performance by Vitality with a very clear sign of a balanced team. So, yeah Derke maybe had not the #1 this series, but then you have trexx and Sayf being in top, while last series it werke Derke and Kicks. Less also always delivers. It's such a round and professional unit already.

Team Liquid is one of the big orgs which could afford primmie. Next season they should stick with nAts, Keiko and paTiTek and sign two new players... imagine primmie and an IGL, that would be insane. primmie, nAts and paTiTek in one team. :P But that's just dreaming of course.

Realitic would be Paper Rex signing him when they make the announced roster changes... maybe one player will go and they will rebuild their positions. primmie can play any agent, he could play whatever he wants for PRX.

aspas the HOLY! <3

Can't wait for this banger after G2 vs. Sentinels. Those 2 match ups are the best pairings that can happen in Americas and EMEA atm.
