Several days ago I received heartbreaking news that I didn’t make the talent cut for Masters 1 in Reykjavík. After receiving the news, I've decided to focus on getting more involved in the competitive scene, and will no longer be accepting broadcast talent positions.

actual fucking legends
congrats
@Sentinels
youve built an absolute tank of a squad. the adversity this team has faced otw to this

title is wild.
the prep witnessed in this bo5 with one day of practice is.... unbelievable.
ty for bringing it home for
Meet Gisella Gares!
@JenaGares
is an absolute god for going through all the hard months of carrying then fighting through labor to bring her into the world ❤️
We’re so happy that she’s finally here and healthy!!!
I have discussed my decision with Riot and they were kind enough to accept it and amicably part ways. I'll have more news soon, and will discuss this decision more tomorrow on stream!
All love ♥️

“Oh nice DSG is in another post plant with a man advantage. I bet they learned from the prior round where they lost due to overextended and using zero coordinated utility”
DSG Players:
i said it so many times throughout these ascension games...
talk all you want during a game, but don't say a word after you win the game. you should respect your opponents and take your W with your head held high. the play in the server did the talking.
Did you know
The most expensive Boston 2018 sticker isn't s1mple or KennyS?
It's actually
@seangares
gold heart-shaped signature. Last sold for ¥16185 ($2,500) & very hard to come by. There's only ten 4x crafts registered on float.db. Some of which happened very recently 👀
that dsg series was wild. i can't stop thinking about it.
yay just went +11 in fk/fd over the series, had opening duels in 51% of the rounds played, went 9-1 in opening duels on map 3... and they lost.
they lost a 1v5 ninja defuse in valorant. that game was wild.
C0M aka Commits 0 Mistakes is known as the best player of the Evil Geniuses Valorant Team. Unlike Boostedo and Semen1, he doesnt even need to see his opponents to kill them. And when the enemy team does see him, it will only be because they killed all of his teammates. It does…
Oh dear…
@Sentinels
make a coach change and have
@Marved6
step in… AND 13-7 LOUD ON THEIR PICK OF PEARL?
Surely they don’t just 2-0 this series… right?!? 👀👀👀
My heart 🫠
GGz 2-1 vs
@Sentinels
to advance to the winner of NRG/C9 tomorrow!
What a series. Props to Sentinels for putting together such an incredible team so quickly. Huge credit to
@ShahZaMk
and their coaching staff for getting
@shroud
and
@Zellsis
comfy so quickly. ❤️
EG ARE ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!
what an incredible team to watch. so happy for every player on this. such an unbelievable story... and they're not done yet.
3-0 vs
@FaZeClan
to get our seat in the grand finals of NA LCQ! Love playing FaZe and it feels good to get our revenge. Mad respect🫡
@TheGuard

Thank you to all the
@100Thieves
fans for the constant love. We need all your energy for tomorrow. 🔥💯
@Professeur_CS
what is this?
he has a 2nd kid coming and is traveling around the world 300+ days of the year. when he returned to csgo he didn't have a 2nd kid on the way and cs2 wasn't announced. shit changes. people change.
on top of all that, legendary player and person in BOTH scenes.
Byron was one of the few people in gaming who was open about his struggles and how he was constantly fighting them. Mental health is a serious issue and can affect ANYONE. If you're going through tough times please reach out for help. You're not alone.
fantastic event... UNREAL run where
@Sentinels
had to play SIX of the TEN opponents in our region. the cherry on top? 3-2 revenge against
@LOUDgg
. insane fucking event.
so proud to have this team in our region. they grinded so hard in the off//season AND took a HUGE RISK
This is one of the best posts I’ve seen on the CS:GO Reddit. Unfortunately, it’s hard for a lot of people to understand this without experiencing it ingame.
obviously sadge. heart aches for the 100t players+staff.
tenz yoru was actually incredible on bind.
sentinels looked so good across all three of the maps we saw today. massive props to the coaching staff and the calls made ingame. <3
It’s crazy how many people are salty about this 16yo winning 3M playing Fortnite. Most of these people have no idea how much time he put in, or how many people he had to be better than, to get that prize.
I’m heartbroken for
@KRUesports
. Absolutely amazing run and they really had the world rooting for this INSANE underdog story. This team is so special and I can’t wait to see these guys in 2022. Oh man, what a semi-final.
#VALORANTChampions
If you’re one of the people still hating on this major, just realize that Starladder...
✅Provided the best computers possible for players
✅Used excellent seeding format
✅Hired talent the community requested
✅Hired a top tier observer mid event
✅Little to no delays
AHHH I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS!!!
Hope to make this a super fun event while keeping it hella competitive. The goal is to give all players, pros included, a chance to compete in the OFF//SEASON. Should be really fun to see how pro teams compete vs these demons coming through…
Thank you
@seangares

We appreciate everything you've brought to the Gen.G family & TigerNation and wish you nothing but the best in your career. From all the fancams to the amazing Valorant content, we'll miss you Sean! 💛🖤
EG looks so incredibly dominant. Every player on this team is capable of taking over the game.
Perfect initiator util from Ethan & C0M, insane impact play from jawg (raze+astra+omen), and Boostio might be the

fragging IGL in the scene... oh did I mention they have Demon1?
Yesterday was one of our toughest days as parents. Gemma was going down the slide and she fractured her Tibia and Fibula. I called Sean who abruptly ended stream and we took her to the ER together. She will be ok but our mommy and daddy hearts are distraught. 🥺
Without a doubt,
@astralisgg
is the best team in CS history. They are crushing opponents in the most competitive era of CS. Pro teams in our scene all play full time and have coaches, analysts, and staff members supporting them. It blows my mind how dominant these guys are.
Only four of these teams make playoffs.
Which four make it? Remaining matches in the parenthesis.
Furia 4-2 (NRG 100T, SEN)
LEV 3-3 (KRU, C9, LOUD)
100T 3-3 (LOUD, Furia, MIBR)
NRG 3-3 (Furia, LOUD, EG)
SEN 2-4 (EG, KRU, Furia)
MIBR 2-4 (C9, EG, 100T)
EG 2-4 (SEN, MIBR, NRG)
so proud of what this

@sarah_frags
INSANE multifrags in huge moments
and most…
Props to all the
@PlayVALORANT
devs who worked on patch 3.0. There are SO MANY changes to the game and it still feels incredible. Certain agents might require a little tuning, but the econ changes feel like a massive step in the right direction.
back2back champs in the most competitive time in valorant history. spectacular to watch what
@OfficialBoaster
and
@minijake_
have put together; this is truly a super team. congrats to each and every one of these players. the hard work is so clear to see.
welcome to fnatic era
0-2 vs

to end our time here at
#VALORANTChampions
Sucks to go out this way, but I’m still proud of what we accomplished in such a short time as a team.
Really appreciate all the support over these months. 😢❤️

@aaronleonhart4
is so clutch. massive 1v3 and multiple 1v1s on pearl.
that series delivered
every map had a comeback w/ a huge second half rally... i already miss watching this series 😭
i know NRG lost today, but i still think they should hold their heads high. crazy lower run and they stood blow for blow with some INSANE plays from PRX today.
can't say enough about PRX. i'm AMAZED with some of the things i've seen. they don't even have the

player in VCTp
2-0 vs
@TheGuard
to kick off our
#VCTChallengersNA
Group Stage!
Had to change a lot after OQ2 and only had 3 days at home. Proud of the team... feelsgoodman to get this win. 🥹
I can’t even believe it… they actually did it. Congrats for the most insane run ever.
@keznitdeuS
the goat, but man everyone on this team came up massive.
Absolutely blows my mind that they went from 0-9 to an undefeated 5-0 in LCQ.
These guys are on the giga heater. 🔥
1-2 vs
@TSM
, which ends our run in
#VCTChallengersNA
OQ1. Despite losing, I’m super proud of the run we had over these past few days. We played 14 maps in two days and got so close. Actually insane.
Hats off to the boys at
@TSM
, they played phenomenal!
Cya next week for OQ2!

@pprxteam
are an absolutely terrifying team to play against. Can’t wait to see them in the Grand Finals, but I don’t think they’re done playing Optic 😈
I'm honestly overwhelmed by all the positive comments about the cast. I never thought I'd be here typing this, but it brings me so much joy to see people enjoy our style of cast. It's so fun for me to nerd out like that with everyone and learn together. Thank you all so much.♥️
Now that we’re several days in, I’m curious what ppl have been thinking of the halftime telestrator segments?
Prior to this event, I hadn’t done analyst/telestrator work in Valorant, so it took some reps to get used to. Those first ones were rough. 😅
that bo3 was legendary... prolly my favorite match of 2023 so far.
the interviews to end the stream were S tier. it meant so much to FNS/s0m.
i know what it's like to lose a big game like that. hope the C9 boys can keep their heads up. they played their hearts out today.
Rough half for us to lose 1-2 vs
@FaZeClan
. They’re in great form and got tons of multifrags to get back into the game. GGz we go next in lowers vs
@Sentinels
next week~
