I'm not very familiar with game, but my X notifications are flooded with posts about a player named Doran. What exactly did he do??
keiko: Yo, Nats! Let's do a Champions recap together.
nAts: Of course!
keiko: I'm looking for a team to join, so hit me up, everyone!
nAts: 😊
Nats has left the chat.
There was an SEN contract sitting on his desk.
Keiko: Like hell I'm joining LIQUID, you fucking clown. LMAOOOO🤣🤣🤣

Rewatching the VOD and still can't figure it out.
Is it actually possible not to laugh when listening to EDG's in-game comms?
They’re already at entrance to Site A, yet it’s a chaotic mess of everyone talking over each other.
Then ZZ has to shout, "Stop arguing, listen to me, listen to me—I'm dropping smoke for CT spawn, TPing to right..."
Seriously, is this a pro team? You’re about to execute a fast play, yet you’re still explaining utility usage onfly? Shouldn't that all be drilled in during practice?
In a real match, if you want to speed things up, you should just call "Rush A" and everyone immediately knows their specific roles and executes play.
And then there’s that disastrous round-ending sequence: team is chattering away chaotically until everyone is dead, and only then does Stew quietly chime in,
"I hadn't thrown flash for left side yet." Listening to that kind of disorganized in-game communication gives me a headache.
Expecting a Korean import—who can barely even understand Chinese—to handle utility usage?
If I were Stew, I can't imagine how hopeless match must have felt.
Even DRG knows to just let "God V" play an anchor role like Sentinel and hold a site solo—it doesn't matter if he doesn't understand the comms—
but only EDG would dare let a Korean import handle utility.

What was Autumn doing during the preparation period for Champions..
They seem to fully agree with ardiis's comments.
Chinese fans seem to understand the reality of situation better than anyone and have become quite pessimistic.
Many are disappointed that EDG's success may have given VCT CN an inflated sense of how strong CN region actually is.
I wonder how much these tournament winnings actually contribute to a team’s profitability and ability to operate.
It’s something I’ve been vaguely wondering about, but I honestly don’t know how to judge how much of a difference prize actually makes just by looking at amount.
the anniversary of the end of World War II
Japan is a defeated nation once again 😭
Update: It has now been officially announced.

Nobuyuki Umezaki's brother shared news on Instagram just a short while ago.
Mr. Umezaki was one of the key figures who helped build the foundation of Japan's esports scene from a young age.
He was only 43 years old.May he rest in peace.
Update: It has now been officially announced.

Although DFM won today's match, coach didn't smile at all, there was no Japanese post-match interview, and fan meeting after the match was reportedly canceled.
Over the past few days, DFM's content creator and players from other divisions have also posted that "something sad has happened."
Since DFM CEO Umezaki hasn't posted anything on X, there have been rumors among some fans that something may have happened to him.
It has been said that an announcement regarding this matter will be made at a later date, but it may turn out to be sad news.
Four teams made playoffs...
I just woke up, to find only BBL still alive???
EMEA, how many times are you going to betray our expectations????
How long are they going to keep using Babybay?
If they believe no one in NA who can upgrade that position beyond him a serious problem in itself.
Three of four teams went 0 win and were eliminated. Easily the worst region
To be honest, G2 recent international performances have been painful to watch. Matches featuring other Americas teams are far more entertaining.
https://www.vlr.gg/team/11058/g2-esports
it's also not a good situation that G2 has been almost completely dominating region since July 2025. It makes you wonder how things ended up this way.
But PRX are buffed in current meta.
They're the final boss in London. How do you beat them?
I’m not really interested in Swiss round anymore, I’m just extremely curious about how he’s going to perform in current meta.
Riot seriously that stupid? Who the hell wants to watch an international tournament if it's just teams from the same region facing each other all over again?
I've said this many times already, but Chinese teams are ruining Masters tournament
He suddenly announced his retirement just two weeks before tournament, and now he’s gained popularity by streaming in cross-dress. On top of that, even though barely any time has passed since his retirement, there are already rumors about a comeback. I think Beyn’s anger is completely understandable.
soccer club is apparently going to buy them.
I feel the same way (excluding PRX), but I don’t really understand what EDG’s fanbase is like outside of China.
Talking about Valorant, by the way. (Like, T1 has a huge fanbase, but its Valorant division isn’t all that popular)
I suddenly got curious — outside of VLR and Reddit, which team currently has the biggest community overall?
PRX when it comes to biggest fanbase? SEN has already lost the passionate fanbase it had back when TenZ was on team.
The stage lights used to feel warm.
Now they felt surgical.
Every time Peter Mazuryk sat down on stage, he could feel thousands of eyes measuring the milliseconds between his thoughts and his aim. In another life, those milliseconds had made him a star.
At seventeen, Asuna had been chaos incarnate. Mechanical brilliance wrapped in reckless confidence. Analysts called him “the future of North American VALORANT.” Fans spammed clips of impossible Sheriff flicks and fearless entries. He played like he didn’t understand fear yet.
Maybe he hadn’t.
Back then, every duel felt simple:
See enemy. Swing. Win.
Now every peek came with memory.
The missed shot against Sentinels.
The failed retake in Shanghai.
The Twitter threads.
The Reddit comments.
“Washed.”
“Too inconsistent.”
“He peaked in 2021.”
He told himself he didn’t read them anymore.
That was a lie.
The team hotel in London overlooked gray streets soaked in rain. Masters London was supposed to be another international event, but everyone around him could feel it: this tournament was different.
For him, it was judgment day.
Retirement at twenty-three.
The word sounded pathetic in any other industry. Ancient in esports.
Asuna sat alone in the practice room after midnight, deathmatching against faceless ranked players. The monitor painted pale light across his tired face.
Not his teammates.
Not his coach.
Not even his younger brother back home.
If they failed here—if he failed here—he was done.
That night, alone in the hotel hallway, he opened his notes app.
The retirement statement was still there, half-written.
He read it quietly.
Then deleted every word.
Valorant overrated frauds are about to get exposed and sweep aside😎
The Emerald Buddha of Thailand shines even brighter with the VCT trophy🏆
During match, coach repeatedly rage slam keyboard in frustration and spammed all-chat multiple times during the rounds.
After the match, opposing players filed complaints about his behavior.
Disappointed by incident owner of MURASH GAMING released coach.

The first-ever occurrence in a VALORANT international tournament
It’s necessary to hold an international tournament.
It’ll surely be more exciting than Santiago GF
Nothing left to lose anymore

I think you can use ChatGPT or anything for translation—it doesn’t really matter.
But he may be in toughest situation of his career. He’s really struggling a lot.
Mako revealed that years of constant pressure and criticism have left him completely exhausted, both mentally and physically
Life inevitably comes with hardships for everyone, but he has confessed that the weight of his own choices and responsibilities has become increasingly unbearable year after year.
