God I love my parents, supported me through everything, through all my ups and downs, I couldn’t ever dream of better parents. 😍
So happy to officially be an Aerospace Engineer, graduated with Honours 👏
Somehow 2 people have all the pick 'ems right so far.
One has Fnatic winning and the other has Fnatic losing in the next game. Lets see who's the real prophet.
Some of these VCT managers/coaches must be so depressed realising the transfer window is closed and they have to stick with their terrible decisions for the whole Split/LCQ.
Scouting and Roster building is sooooo important, don't just pick up your friends. Look at FNC/LOUD etc
Ascension is just too brutal to watch sometimes.
In other tournaments, if you place 2nd/3rd, you work hard and have another shot in a couple of months.
In Ascension, if you come 2nd/3rd, you know your team won't be playing in Tier 1 for atleast 1.5 YEARS.
Such an awful format.
I really want to know what the plan was if an unsigned team just won Ascension, theres a lot of them around the world.
Would they not even get the spot in the first place? Seems The Guard should just be treated as an unsigned team atm, so they can look for an org.
Since people liked this format, here's another one for the whole year.
From roster announcements to now.
Vitality omitted out of respect for Twisten not being able to finish the whole season.

@TheGuard
, end of our playoffs journey.
The 0-3 scoreline doesn’t show how close the match actually was and how many rounds were coming down to clutches for both teams.
Shame only 2 NA teams could make it through to Ascension.
I'm so happy to see
@benjyfishy
doing well, had a talk with him 2 years ago at Twitchcon when he was only thinking to switch to Valorant.
Before I got dropped, me and
@BonecoldVAL
wanted him on Vitality, could have been a sick team.
ggs 2-1 vs
@TheGuard
, huge respect to
@JoshRTz
for subbing in.
People will say it should have been easier for us since they had a sub, but honestly they changed roles and comps so all our scouting just went out the window, a huge part of our prep.
Thanks for the speech
@tarik
!
Thank you
@smthlikeyou11
for ruining all ranked games for the next few months.
Gonna have an insta-lock Reyna peeking and dying in the first 5 seconds every round.
Getting rejected as an assistant coach to some of these Franchise rosters was by far the best outcome for me.
No one can save these teams without proper changes
Really excited to be joining NRG as Assistant Coach.
The expectations couldn’t be higher, but this team is too insane to not reach them.
I might finally smile if we win Masters Madrid.
Severe IGL shortage in both EMEA and Americas, especially those who have some firepower.
More people should give calling a try, it's not easy to learn, but if you can do it well while fragging out, your stock will skyrocket.
How I think the standings will be at the END of each VCT League.
Based off the changes some made and how much I think they will improve.
APAC is hard af 😬😬
Fnatic with the W management.
Letting the IGL/Coach slowly improve the team over 2 years instead of making huge changes after each loss.
@OfficialBoaster
and
@minijake_
picking up the perfect pieces to become this World Championship winning team. 🧡🧡

No insane clutches today, just some good ol’ Valorant :D
Shoutout
@LudwigAhgren
who missed 2 flights but still made it in time to give the team a speech. 💧💧
Leo is doing a good job with VCT, but seems to harbour some hatred for the Tier 2 scene.
I genuinely can’t believe the words he’s saying, he WANTS an unstable scene, players not to be paid, orgs not to be happy etc
Can Riot hire a new person just for T2 and let Leo do only VCT?
@valesports_emea
Didn’t teams get disqualified for this in other regions lol? And they didn’t even have previous warnings on record? Seems like a very light punishment for G2
As usual, a whole lot of text to say absolutely nothing, while completely missing the actual point.
Had a chance to build trust with T2 teams/orgs, and he's beyond wasted it while telling players that even if they do everything right, Riot still won't care about them at all.
Hey everyone. This situation is very unfortunate and none of us wanted this outcome. We designed Ascension hoping to see new teams and players joining our International Leagues every year, and it’s disheartening to see this happening in year one. That said, I want to share some…
Riot is out of their fucking mind if they don't just give the spot to the team so they can find a new org together.
There must be so many orgs just waiting to be in franchising who would have happily bought them out.
Or just M80 too.
Doubt it's a hot take, but no player in the world is worth 25k a month imo.
Not at this stage of the game, and especially not when orgs already pay for their housing in LA, all travel, food etc
prev. eg tweet was wrong they all earned around 25k on the main roster and then around 4.5k on the sub roster, game changers team was on around 7k
keyword "around," I haven't seen the contracts
As we see more teams get eliminated, gonna be seeing a lot more tweets saying "The team just needs more time" and "Trust the process".
You had a 6 month offseason to improve (except some contract jail exceptions), if that isn't enough time, nothing ever will be.
As we all expected
@TeamHeretics
qualify to Masters Madrid. Having a Spanish team is gonna make the crowd there insane.
Wonder what will happen with Patitek since (I think) w00t is eligible to play like 2 days into Masters.
Valorant is in such a weird place currently, where a lot of T2 teams are going to be paying more than T1 in 2024.
VCT teams are trying to reduce their spending, a lot offering the league minimum, because they know most players will still accept it for a chance to play on stage.…
Last person you would expect to say this, but damn Ze1sh has actually transformed KC, looking like a proper team.
No clue if it's due to him being a better IGL than ScreaM, a better support player than Newzera or just taking the IGL load off Scream so he can pop off. You decide.
It isn't a problem with our Turkish Internet, everyone is able to talk on teamspeak and use everything with no problem.
The issue is with Riot servers and/or the routing from Turkey to Frankfurt.
Having a duelist who straight up refuses to OP on Jett, just can't work.
Such a fundamental part of the game is just missing from their plays.
@TwistenVAL
showing how it should be done.

Off to Bootcamp next week to prep for playoffs, should be fun. Thanks

@G2VALORANT
2-1, finally got the win vs y'all
Had one terrible half on Lotus, but the rest of the series was insanely clean.
Thank you
@MoistCr1TiKaL
for the rousing pre-match speech. Feeling sooooooo wet after that.
Listening to this cast, you wouldn't think Secret did a single good thing and that every round is just Liquid hard inting.
Like I get Secret are the "underdogs" but talk about what they are doing good sometimes.
I cannot describe how it feels to join an org that I have watched for years across multiple games. Hope I can live up to the name.
Have A LOT of exciting news coming up regarding our rebuild for Split 2 as well as looking further for Ignition Series later in the year.

It really sucks there’s no fans allowed at the event, this level of support is amazing.

You completely disregard giving the slot to the players just because they were made F/As after instead of before Ascencion.
As if that makes any difference in this context and it doesn't affect anything moving forward either.
A complete non-reason for disallowing option 1.
I know working in esports can be volatile and getting a job or not is a completely seperate discussion.
BUT NOT TELLING HER UNTIL 5 DAYS BEFORE SHE FLIES OUT, ARE YOU SERIOUS RIOT????
Do so much better, no one deserves to be told this late, its just cruel.
During the off-season,
@MoistEsports
has allowed me and the team to look for potential VCT offers.
We love MxM and hope we can continue all together next year, but each of us wants to compete at the highest level in VCT.
Each player absolutely deserves the opportunity to shine…
For a more serious tweet, from the first talk with Vitality, me and
@BonecoldVAL
told them we would win VRL France.
They put full trust in us, from building the roster to leading it, no matter how the season was going.
Thank you
@TeamVitality
, best org I’ve ever been in 💛💛
Imagine being a player on this roster, and your coach tweets this.
Good way to destroy a team environment and ensure they try to snake each other to stay on the team.
Without taking a side on this NA T2 drama, airing all of this out in public while calling out orgs and players with misinformation is a good way to further lose org interest in the scene.
I just hope it won’t cost the people on the roster paid opportunities.
Since everyone is talking about how good NA Tier 2 is atm, friendly reminder that
@symrifle
and
@OfficialAproto
are still Free Agents after their incredible performances last year.
