Regardless of the outcome of this grand finals, I ask of the TSM fans supporting us today, please be gracious towards the Team Empire players and fans. They are a phenomenal opponent with an unwavering consistency in their play, both teams have earned their spot in this final.

Today, I re-signed with TSM as their Strategic Coach for R6. This past year, we've achieved 3rd, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd 2nd, 1st, 1st. Winning a LAN Major and Division Finals. This team has shown me a level of unconditional love and respect that I could never ask for.

With that result, my contract has been terminated. Thanks to all the TSM fans for the support and hospitality in the past. I will actively be looking for positions HC/Assistant/Strategic/Analyst in Valorant or R6. Inquires to Derrick@proxy.gg or my DMs, I guess. There is the.

I don't care that the game says Plat 3, Paco is definitely a Champ in my book and maybe he will get there with the grind. An absolute legend. Wholeheartedly deserves a charm.
I used to just play unranked until people started saying that I had a decent level, I used to not believe in myself on this game and you know what??? I FCKN MADE IT. @Rainbow6Game I'm making this post to motivate other players, YOU ALL CAN DO IT. First time in plat on pc. Gg's!

I want to call out casters, content creators and community a bit to end the split. I understand that there will be biases naturally, but I also need you to realize what you speak is imprinted on a lot of the viewers you have. Constant criticism & belittlement of a player/play.

Beau has nearly 1/3 of the viewers for R6 on Twitch with 1.7k viewers. At 6k viewers it has less than Overcooked 2. It looks great!.

We often put geo in hell in the cell spots, and more often than not he thrives there. It was great seeing our first Club match at SI get criticized for the setup, and then commended in the finals. That is the way of the game, though. It applies in every degree.
@GotchaR6 I wish Geo's positioning in strip club got more love, the man is out there eating 6 flashes and 5 grenades surviving by himself with a UMP, creating one of the biggest problems for a Club House attack.

WE TAKE IT 3-1! I'm so proud of the boys. Last night I said we would grind for it. we did. The boys crushed it. Im happy with everyone's work to get to where we are.

GGs Liquid, we take it 2-0 and make it to the upper finals. Absolutely pristine work by the boys today. Liquid has always been a close and formidable opponent, so it is always an honor to get to play them. We've been here before, but now it's time to take it all the way.

Why did you buy Siege? What made you stay?. For me, I bought Siege as an alternative to CS when I felt burnout. I stayed because it is the most strategic and dynamic FPS I have ever come across. I'd love to here from you, though. :).

You will not see me on R6 as long as LMGs un-nerfed are live in ranked. As one of the only coaches experiencing winning SI 2022, don’t bother telling me “no one cares” 🫡. Hard to hear a guy with a 1.57 KD didn't have the devs reach out for input, eh?. (pic for reference :p)

I know recent events can have a major impact on mental health in a negative manor. If anyone needs to talk/vent/ramble or anything, don't hesitate to reach out. You can literally be anyone, it can be anytime. I will do my best to be there when I can. You aren't alone.

I am a strategic coach, not just an analyst. I used to only care about what the team/org thought and my work, but after awhile it hits a sore spot to be called an analyst externally. It hurts to put in so much work, just to be seen as something that is viewed as lower. :c.

I've seen/heard some shit that crosses a line. I haven't worked with the R6 boys since after SI, but I know they're still putting in more work and practice in than anyone. They're going through hell right now already, so don't be a toxic idiot. They'll figure it out again.

Some fans will never see players as people and it severely hurts. We took a fairly fresh roster and tried to find success with so many moving pieces. The boys did the absolute best with what we gave them and while it wasn't enough for playoffs, it shows that it isn't the end.

A few months ago, I had the honor to have dinner with an ex-Riot Games developer. I brought up some of the issues that we've seen with Siege and all he could do was laugh. I don't want to laugh, but I don't think there is anything else for me to do.

I'm really surprised Ubisoft didn't put Kix's multiplier into R6|Siege as an option. A) Quite a few people use it, and it would be a good recognition for all work he put into the game. B) All options should be available for change in the game if they can be changed in config, imo.

Siege in theory is 3D chess, in practice it is speed 3D chess. It is all practiced roughly the same, it just comes down to recognition, intuition and adaption. I've never found a strategy/FPS/MOBA game that could ever fill the craving I get when working in Siege. It's addicting.

The ultimate Chala appreciation post. He's been my longest standing teammate, and likely will be till the end of my career in R6. He's always been a delight to work with and a friend beyond friends. Thanks for being you, Brady. Chala GOAT.

So so happy for T1 LoL. Finding an MVP within that roster feels impossible for me. Keria with standout opportunity plays. Zeus getting 3-4 manned and surviving repeatedly and always building the perfect pressure. Faker with the protector plays and natural goat factor. Oner with.

Hearing someone say that Merc isn't IGLing the team, just sounds like they are upset that he was still able to perform exceptionally at SI while doing so, which just hurts their image as an IGL that is unable to perform mechanically.

Siege is a wonderful game and I am so happy that my sanity is tied to such a stable game. It'd really suck if the game had major bugs like audio issues, connection issues or latency issues. We are really gifted. The game is actually so good, but crippled by critical issues.

From SSG to TSM, Brady will always be one of the best teammates I could ask for. It was an honor to grow with him and win a world championship with him, through over 3 years of teaming with him. No matter where he goes in life, esports or not, he'll always go far.
Today we announce that we have moved @Chala_R6 off our starting R6 roster, and that he has chosen to step away from the game. Your legacy is unmatched. You're a World Champion and forever part of the black & white hall of fame. Good luck in the future, we'll miss you 🖤🤍

GGs @100Thieves, we take it 2-0. The boys worked so hard this week with so many changes, so we are glad to see it pay off. Our comms are absolutely stellar and our post plants/executes were fairly clean. The boys earned this W as a team. #TSMWIN #TSM. The Guard next week. 🤠.

The script really wants LATAM to win this SI. 6 LATAM teams attending. 1/5 EU team DQed. 1/4 APAC team DQed. NA mental chalked from the rooms. We must fight the script. Overcome the broken rooms, the isolation, inability to scrim, and the breakfast. Or. .

Q: Why does TSM have the hottest players?. A: We have extensive and detailed scouting. They all have to be jacked. Not only that but they have to wear the freshest clothes, eat at the chillest restaurants and hang out with the hottest dudes. Everything else is secondary smh.

1) Thank you, to the devs that are/will be working on the weekend/OT against the current issue. 2) The devs don't want the game to die. This issue is likely a few layers above the devs, with Ubisoft itself. Stop harassing the devs. Thank you!.

Nothing prouder than seeing Merc call out the boys for the exact same things Poj and I called him out for. 99% of players you work with, you won't see how they grow once they leave you. The maturity and reflection is there.

Going into the T1 project for 2024, I was fairly confident early on that it would be my only season with T1 as rumblings of a domestic focus was planned for 2025. In 6 years, this has been my worst placing season, but I feel satisfied in my individual work given the role I was.

[For spectators]:.Do not demand that a player only play the game they work. In esports, many players are putting upwards of 10-15 hours into their respective game. We cannot plug the players in 24/7, they need to have personal time/time to reset in whatever manner they choose.

I sent a friend flowers because they were having a bad week, a few months ago. Got into a dispute because I said I didn't want to play with Lyssa anymore for being toxic. Guess she shouldn't send anyone flowers either, after being banned for cheating. 🙃

We 7-0 DZ for back to back 7-0 plqydays. I will have to check, but im fairly certain we are now 7-1 or 6-1 in maps against DZ ever since BKN said we might never take a map off of them again. On to next week.

I don't think droning after death should be a hard no. Disable it for competitive & ranked. The point is the engagement after death, which typically should target new users. Allow it for casual/unranked with the battery design. Provide discussion and alternatives. Not "NO".

I've been alive 9131 days in 25 years. 🥳. 1230 of those days have been with TSM, 13% of my life has been with TSM, 28% of TSM's competitive history. 3 world championships, 3 majors and 10 PL seasons with TSM. I learned to stand a bit more for myself in leaving R6. I learned to.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY @TSM_Daeda 🎂. The man cooking up the strats and leading our Valorant roster, we are so thankful to have you as part of the #TSM family. We hope you have an incredible day, coach 🖤🤍
