Please reverse this decision. It's not fair to suspend Rob over a single emotional moment. The VCT rules themselves state that a first offense should be penalized with a warning.
Do we really want to cast a shadow over the grandfinals of the first GC Champs for this?
#FreeRobwiz
whoever you think is the best valorant team in the world rn they would get obliterated in an NSG weekly or a Knights Gauntlet ong
they wouldn't even lose to signed teams they'd get grouped by some guy with numbers in his name playing the game of his life you don't get it
With the Academy rebuild on hiatus, I've been promoted to the main C9 roster, who I've been working with since the beginning of July, as we turn our focus to LCQ. Much love to all the players I worked with; I will see you all in the next chapter~
F/A's who are like "how do I get noticed?"
Play tournaments.
If you play tournies and shit on teams that are getting paid, the people paying them notice you.
That's just how it goes.
Officially released from
@Cloud9
, thanks for making my stay a memorable one!
Thank you to all the players from C9A, C9B, and C9W. It's been a fun ride through both the highs and lows
Thanks to the support staff, Jane, Hoon, Jamez, vapen, Noukky, Moon, too many to list
Onward
3-0 in Groups. Really proud of the team and how we played against
@Immortals
. Such a tough grindy game but everyone kept their cool. GGs See y'all in playoffs
#C9WIN
It's fucked that the ZMM roster didn't get signed as a whole. The kind of success they achieved took great care and effort. Hope to see these lads continue to succeed individually.

@SpeakerPelosi
Speaker Pelosi: "Thank you George Floyd for sacrificing your life for justice ... Because of you and because of thousands, millions of people around the world who came out for justice, your name will always be synonymous with justice."
You can aim train, watch vods and play as much valorant as possible but at the end of the day if you give up after 3 rounds you will always be a garbage player
do yourself a favour and train the mental
like you train everything else... please.
Made it to Berlin! Arrived an hour early though and the policy is I have to quarantine right away so no photo with the team @.@
That said I'm so grateful to be here; positively blessed with this opportunity 🇩🇪
#VALORANTChampions
#C9WIN
Took a short break as I sorted out some life things and a small move
I'm still interested in opportunities within Esports, specifically coaching, management, and production
Previous exp with Cloud9 valorant, Collegiate valorant, Chess, and other various other titles
DM me
2nd place vs
@Complexity
1-2 in the
@trovolive
tourney. Great hustle by them for the comeback. Proud of the team for the progress we've made though; just gotta keep grinding. Excited to prac with them again once I'm back from Berlin.
Also 2-0
@fullsense_gg
blue boys kinda clean~
0-2
@XSET
ggwp to them. We finish 2nd for our very first tournament with the new roster. It feels like we have so much potential.
Thank you
@Cloud9
for flying us out. Special thanks to
@hoonmaru
for supporting us throughout the trip. Thank you
@nerdstreet
for hosting the LAN!
"If the vaccine was unsafe they would have given it to third world countries first." -My cousin in Lebanon on why he believes the vaccine is safe.
He's not wrong.
So proud of this team. Despite having won so many GCs they're still hungry as ever and want nothing more than to practice and improve.
Make no mistake, every W is earned. GGs to Shopify. We'll see you in Berlin 🇩🇪
It's not just content creators 😅
Players, coaches, managers, casters, journalists, analysts, the lot.
To some extent it's the big-fish-little-pond effect. Some people have a really hard time dropping what they perceive to be some earned ego.
ESPORTS
y’all would be surprised how toxic the valorant content creator community is.
so many people with massive egos, and only are willing to talk to you if they gain something from it.
just be a good person man 😕
So proud of the team. Everyone worked so hard during the off-season y'all can't even imagine. Happy that it all paid off and that I was able to bring value to this team in time for this event

So many talented players DM me to give them a tryout and I usually end up having to choose one or two candidates based on very little info (stats, experience, references).
I can't get to know everyone, but I CAN watch you play if you send me a VOD. Maybe that's the best option..
How was your day I just recorded an Adum and Pals™ commentary where I attempted to defend and justify Jacob Black "imprinting" on Bella's baby daughter. Thanks Twilight.
My family is okay. Please avoid baseless speculation until more information comes out. Seeing a lot of shit trending about Hezbollah and Israel maybe chill for 10 seconds while the bodies are still being pulled from the rubble.
I'm officially looking for a team to coach
2x Radiant, GE, Ex-Invite TF2, Top 500 OW
Emphasis on structure, communication, and teamplay
Willing to commit full-time hours for the right team
I have experience coaching Valorant and chess, and competed in VCT
DM me for inquiries
Thanks to everyone reaching out. I see the T2 talent trust. I've been watching all of you for a year and I have a long memory. Just cuz you don't make it today doesn't mean opportunities aren't waiting for you in due time. Keep grinding.
I'd say the murder of a Palestinian-American journalist by the IDF should be a bigger story but what do I know.
Oh yeah they also attacked her funeral procession today because public displays of 🇵🇸 flags are illegal there.
Totally normal behavior by a normal country.
@BlackHeartVAL
This looks outrageous. I'd at least like some explanation by the devs as to what they think happened. Let's just say rounds have been replayed at bigger tournaments for less consequential reasons.
My entire life experience screams "Communication is the most valuable and transferrable skill to have personally and professionally"
That more people don't grind it like it's Kovaaks, or spend time thinking about what it means to truly listen/understand someone is tragic at best
@daviddenisnd
In chess, women were systemically marginalized for hundreds of years. "It's a man's game". Young girls weren't allowed to compete or play.
Now people pretend that it's due to some genetically predisposed lack of interest that 92% of the playerbase is male.
Toxicity persists 💀
Valorant coaching tip: try surgically attaching all your players to the same central nervous system to ensure that they remain coordinated at all times.
It should be obvious but businesses hate uncertainty. Everyone has this fear of what they have being suddenly taken away from them. Riot's lack of transparency in their decision-making process only exacerbates these fears. They have a responsibility to articulate their reasoning.
Okay having seen a lot of targeted ads for novelty chess sets which are clearly not designed by people who play chess, allow me to give an unsolicited PSA on how to create a great set, and what to avoid in your designs (also what to look for if you're looking to buy a new set)
The Palestinian people will be massacred in the thousands. They will be driven from their homes and their lands will be destroyed. We've seen it before. There is no justice that can be had here. There is no parity in the Israeli response. End the occupation. Free Palestine.
SHEESH
Champions was so fun! Honored and grateful to have been part of that experience 🙏
Shoutout to everyone at C9 especially
@cassidys
for catching everything 🎥
If you want to become a better player, you should probably start by wanting to become a better person.
This might not make sense to people who are hard focused/locked to the grind but if you take a step back it should become obvious.
It was awesome to be invited on
@sardonicast
pod to talk about one of my favorite films, Incendies. Thanks for having me on; it was fun talking to ya'll!
2-1
@TSM
that concludes our Stage 1
GGs to all the teams we played, it was a tough group
I'm still going to be coaching
@SadEsportsOrg
for the mid-season cup, but in the meantime I am taking a short break and looking for paid opportunities within val
RTs/vouches appreciated
Calling your teammates by their first name is underrated. We've literally evolved to the point where we can distinguish our first name being called out through a loud, noisy crowd. Somehow you can hear your first name while in a mosh pit; something about it seizes your attention.
i'm attracted to people who don't draw attention to themselves
to quiet, modest, humble people
to people who are self-aware and soft-spoken
to the gentle and selfless
i notice you
you're my heroes
It sucked hearing the f-slur being thrown around so casually again when I came back to eSports. Was only a matter of time till I heard it aimed at me. Hope this guy gets perma voiced banned.
Like it's 2021 how does this "gamer" archetype still persist?
