I noted to FNATIC around 6 months ago that there was a good chance I wouldn't be re-signing next year as a Head Coach, in search for a better work-life balance.
Whilst conversations continue with FNATIC to figure out a suitable future, my contract has ended so I will also be…
I know this seems like a weird time to make such a decision but I've been struggling with it for some time. I'll figure out how a way to share how/why I made this decision in a longer format... but maybe I'll just do an AMA?
ps big shout-out to this dweeb, this year was a lot…
@AllenbyHarry
The current FNATIC team is filled with "completely different personalities" and yet are pretty successful.
Feels like you've not made your point very clear here and just come off as reductionist.

Clearly the better team this tournament. Thanks for the support, apologies we couldn't show our full potential.
Very proud of our year but a bitter way to finish.
I think the SEN roles on Fracture make more sense than you'd expect. Pancada is now allowed to lurk whilst Deph can call in the pack.
Deph breach with Sacy brim is the small questionmark; will have to see how it looks on other maps.
Hot take: these "looking for team" comfort agent tier lists are horrible
- all the agents in your primary role should be S tier, or close (if they're not, then make them)
- stating which roles you can flex is good but I don't want to know your brim is a D tier
A lot of VCT teams built their teams that included people that I would consider problem-players.
Most of those teams didn't meet expectations.
These players are the COMPLETE opposite of problem-players:

I haven't paid attention to other games but Alfa had a helluva year.
Half this season he was still 17 -- he had to deal with earthquakes, VISA issues, and for the first time living away from his close-family for most of the year. But still in-game did so many brilliant things.…
Whilst it makes sense NA teams are dropping their ascension teams, I hope they don't try to rebuild their teams a month before the season begins again with any expectations of promotion...
EMEA CHAMPS!!!!
Was great to share the server with another team who has consistently been pushing the skill ceiling of VALORANT. Still some work to do as always... but for now we take some days off finally! 🙂

Congrats to
@KRUesports
, genuinely happy for them!
Disappointed with some of our basics today but ultimately proud of what the boys have achieved this year.

I'll be donating €25 for every shorty kill at Masters Tokyo towards a mental health charity.
I believe
@RyanCentral_
is creating a page if anyone else is interested in doing something similar.
A quick guide to tell who made the FNATIC strat:
Strat is exciting, innovative, viral on reddit - Boaster
Strat is boring, recycled, not viral on reddit - Mini
PSA?:
I learned these cams were legal even for Tokyo (we didn't know).
The only illegal one is a really high defence one that sees deep into spawn (because you can still see enemies)
They apparently patched you seeing enemies through it prebarrier.
Feels real bad for the NA ascension players, 5 less jobs in VCT whilst also making promotion next year more difficult than it would have been if 5 more players went up to VCT 🫤
Doing everything we can to get the boys recovered; couldn't be FNATIC without some external factors!
Sorry to KOI for the disruption to their schedule and to the fans who planned to watch today.
VCT Update: We’re currently experiencing multiple cases of COVID throughout the team, and as a result, our matchup vs KOI is being postponed until a later date.
We want to wish all the affected players well soon, and we look forward to returning to the Coliseum in full health!
The only viable single duelists in pro play have the ability to dive out of chokes, Iso doesn’t.
It’s already hard for an agent to earn a flex spot in double controller meta. In single controller comps, that flex spot can go to all the initiators, duelists, and sage…
