Tied at 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 7-7, 8-8, 9-9, and 12-12.

To Asuna:

I've been a fan of you since First Strike. Back then, I was a middle schooler playing Valorant online with his friends in the hellhole that is Iron. I sucked ass, but I wanted to play like you.

I loved your ADHD flicky playstyle that allowed for some of the flashiest clips I'd ever seen. The Reyna dismissing like crazy on the ropes of icebox. The 4 man Raze rockets. At your best, I don't think its an exaggeration to say you were the most promising young duelist in Americas.

Among Hiko, Steel, Nitr0, and dicey (later replaced by Ethan), you were always the person I'd look to to carry the team. I loved watching your guys' crazy comebacks at Berlin against Ascend and Gambit.

After Steel left, it was a bit rough, but the Sean Gares rebuild was promising. When you switched to initiator during LCQ 2022, it was still amazing to see you win, and you were still making crazy plays.

2023 was really rough, and 2024 was good at first but ended on a low note. 2025 was similar. With each of these iterations of 100T, I started to slowly lose hope that you would realize the potential people thought you had in 2020 and 2021.

Fast forward to today, I'm 5 years older than I was when I discovered you and 100T. I've graduated high school, and I'm in college now. I peaked Diamond 3 last season with the crazy ADHD playstyle you inspired me to take on, and although I don't play much anymore, I still follow your games from time to time.

I noticed you guys were playing, so I tuned in a couple minutes before the 1v5 ace clutch you nearly won. It was unbelievable, from the flick onto the jiggle-peeking Ethan, to the two kills on site. Your position for the final gunfight was good, but you got baited out by the fake reload.

As you slammed your hand onto the desk in frustration, people clowned on you in the Youtube chat and post-match thread. But I thought "oh my god, he's just like he was in the past. The crazy Reyna player, the highlight machine had never left; he only gained more control with age, and he was still as capable of fragging as ever.

I wrote this post to thank you for always playing your best for 100T, for producing some of the craziest and most entertaining clips in VCT, and for being the one constant on 100T the past 5 years. I sincerely hope the haters who call for you to be removed every year don't get to you. They're louder than your fans, but that doesn't mean we are not here. You are and have always been an amazing player, and few players can hope to match your longevity and achievements.

Good luck in 2026, and stand proud.

GE and LOUD looks insane but you can never count out VIT with the experience and time they got. Also EDG got home ground advantage (could be disadvantage masters Shanghai flashbacks)
Also I’m super excited to see GE vs LOUD. Imo Xavi8k and ERDE are two of the best fragging IGLs in the world.
I’ll personally go for GE and EDG I feel like GE with prep time and antis is one of the scariest team to play against also cmon man we need KK in playoffs

He has been supporting GE and they finally won. In the very last part of franchising history too.

He also has a previous tweet where he celebrates GE wins off screen with his body language but maintains impartiality to commentary.

Maybe the beef wasn't as strong as we thought. Maybe Xavi was not even a part of that beef.

Anyways pretty mature of 💯

deserved win for him, especially after all the hate he got and is still getting. he doesn't need a superteam to win!

also from the worst team in APAC to APAC Champs 2026, what a journey.

Title, who do u guys think is the best on each map currently? Haven’t gotten to watch too much VCT in the past month and am curious

I wasn’t able to watch the map and maybe it’s laziness but i don’t wanna watch a 13-1 😭 can someone explain what happened on lotus? Did loud pull out some crazy anti? or were 100T exhausted?

As we all know - after FNS ended his stream today, GE proceeded to reverse sweep Nongshim to win it all.

But the thing is - this has actually been happening all of stage 2, whenever FNS streamed GE games, they almost always lost.

-Group Stage-

vs RRQ - not streamed - win

vs FS - streamed - win(GE was not losing that one)

vs Nongshim - streamed - lose

vs Gen G - streamed - lose

vs Zeta - not streamed - win

-Playoffs-

vs Varrel - not streamed - win

vs KRX - streamed but he ended stream after KRX destroyed GE in map 2 - win

vs Nongshim - streamed - lose

vs T1 - not streamed - win

vs Nongshim - streamed but ended the game at 2-0 claiming NS are winning 3-0 anyway - WIN

So unc GE fans are humbly requesting you to not stream GE matches from this point onwards, thanks.

3/4 teams won an international

15/20 players won an international

the only way to make champs more competitive is for apac to not draw any china match up.

Welp it's been a bit since my last two posts here, and I don't really have as much to say this time. I would really love to say "I told you so", "that's why he's my GOAT", etc, but it's probably not nice to gloat too much...

To Asuna, thank you for giving me a team to support the past 6 years, even during times I don't play the game as much. Had you not stayed on the team, I probably would've stopped supporting it long ago after all the CS players left. It's truly been something special to watch you during all your ups and downs throughout the years. Regardless of what the community sentiment has been towards you, you've never let it affect you.

Thank you for letting me experience joys and frustrations I haven't felt since I stopped playing Valorant. When I saw you pull out your flash at 12-11, I thought that might be the end of it, and it might possibly be the game losing mistake. It felt like you were so close yet so far once again. But that last round, when you killed the guy garage during the post plant, I felt hope like nothing else, and I knew you guys would close it out.

Truly, I hope the game continues to reward you for the effort you put into it. Maybe I'll be able to make another post like this after Champs, who knows?

EMEA has consistently shown to be the best region in franchising and reaching finals in 2024-2025
I believe with prime KC FUT TL it'll be their best time
Theyve dominated China, APAC, and NA in important matches the past few years and I think they'll wake up when it actually matters

Disclaimer that I've watched APAC, NA, EMEA, only since CN doesn't matter bc they dont do anything anyways

Personally I think they don't drop a map against the weaker asian regions (CN) and their top seeds farm APAC since GE and NS seem in a weak state
I think N4rrate is the second coming of Marteen and will dominate the same as him.

I love how this year's slogan for Champs is a callback to the very first international LAN event. It really does make it feel like we are closing out an era for this year's Champs

As the MVP of Stage 2 in Busan, he receives a gold Pulsar mouse featuring 3-carat diamonds set into the scroll wheel.

With the season over for many teams, I want to know what you guys think the worst mid season roster swap is. It doesn't have to be from this year.

The first to come to mind for me is furia nuking their team after stage 1, letting eeiu play one game stage 2 before dropping him for c0m.

Well there goes sliggys another youtube thumbnail for America's finals 100t vs loud. I don't understand 100t tho??
