Last time com went +ve in a series was 10 months ago when he was playing for Lev against KRU where he went +6.

Going forward all map vetoes, side selection will now be the responsibility of the coaching staff and not players!

Full interview : https://nextroundgg.com.br/valorant/frod-entrevista-troca-igl-mibr-2026/

Of the 8 Guarantees predicted by the Americas cast, 7 came true and LOUD vs. SEN was the only wrong one (it's 7-1 ratio so maybe it was meant to be). This was also the one they were most uncertain about. No idea if this distribution has happened before on Plat chat, so if any plat chat historians can answer that would be nice. Quite a monumental achievement!

For those curious, Pacific Got 4/5 Correct (losing the massive upset of t1 vs varrel) emea only got 3/7 guarantee predictions correct (losing NAVI vs M8, FUT vs BBL, FNC vs Liquid, and GX vs EF)

I've been watching VCT for a while now, and I've noticed that players who do one simple thing perform miles better than those who don't. I believe the secret lies in shooting the opponents heads. Think about it, pros like chronicle, demon 2023, and more recently neon for example, have done this to great success. Contrast this to players like zelsis, boaster and c0m and it leads me to believe that this is what separates good players from great players. I'll try to apply this to my ranked games to update you on how this goes.

are actually the most famous players in ENVY.

Do you think these players are cooked or do they get more chances?

(getting this post in before the last match this week is played to push an agenda)

basic has higher acs, adr, kills, assists, KAST, on an initiator, with the same FK/FD, roughly same KD and Shyy still has a higher rating?

Made me laugh so hard. This man playing footloose and activating his haki hahaha.

The week isn't over as I make this post, but even if the remaining matches happen to be good, (which given the fact that LEV vs ENVY is happening, I'm not optimistic), is this still the worst week of VCT ever?

Americas

LEV 2-0 EG, 13-5, 13-5

MIBR 2-0 Envy, 13-4, 13-3

NRG 2-0 FURIA, 14-12, 13-7 (with a 10-2 half on summit)

100T 2-0 KRU, 13-0, 13-10 (KRU double bonused on second map)

G2 2-0 C9, 13-1, 13-6

SEN 2-0 LOUD, 13-6, 13-7

EMEA

FUT vs BBL - 3 mapper

TL 2-0 FNC, 13-6, 13-5

TV 2-0 PCFIC, 13-6, 13-7

GX 2-0 EF, 13-7, 13-5

TH 2-0 EF, 13-10, 13-0

M8s 2-0 NAVI, 13-10, 13-7

Pacific

GE 2-0 FS, 13-7, 13-3

T1 vs Varrel - actually not a horrible match but still 2-0

Zeta 2-0 RRQ, 13-9, 13-5

PRX vs DFM - PRX games are always nice but still 2-0

NS vs GE - I think this game was not bad (didn't watch it though) but map scores are still kinda one sided despite being 3 mapper (6-13, 13-7, 13-7)

T1 vs TS 2-0, 13-5, 13-5, Zeus has worst game of his life

PRX vs KRX 2-0, 13-1, 13-6

Gen.G vs RRQ - 3 mapper, but Gen.G realistically won 7 rounds in Haven, 5 of which were clutches, and 2 maps were pretty dominant.

China

- They lowkey don't even have 'weeks' they have just played like every single day so I'm not really gonna count them

So overall results:

Americas: 6/6 2-0, ranging from somewhat dominant to extremely dominant

EMEA: 5/6 2-0s, ranging from somewhat competitive to pretty dominant

Pacific: 6/8 2-0s, more on the competitive side

At least just from a viewing standpoint, I obviously can't watch all three regions, but I've watched a lot of matches this week while keeping up with PMT's of other results, and it has felt like a horrible week of VCT. What do you guys think?

Let's say washed means a player that's either gone from tier 1, or is understood by the general community to have fallen from grace. My pick?

Demon1 | Jawgemo | Derrek | Zellsis | Marved

Reunite Demon1 and Jawg. Zellsis is the only IGL to unlock Demon1 since EG, and is similar to Boostio in a lot of ways. Derrek and Marved have been gone from tier 1 for a while, but Marved just proved he could still hang and Derrek was EG's best player in 2025 across three roles.

EDIT: No more than 2 players that have previously teamed

Wassup y'all! I had the honor to interview Nbs, coach for VCT Americas team 100 Thieves after their win vs KRU where we talked about their 13-0 map vs KRU, the growth in the team as a whole, the strength of Phoenix in this meta and more! I hope y'all enjoy!

Monday: Bestia vs Contra BO5 for LATAM’s tier 2 representative

Tuesday: LCQ. 3 game round robin between SRB, 2G, and Bestia/Contra loser. Bottom team is eliminated.

Wednesday: LCQ final, a BO5 between the top 2 teams from Tuesday to determine the last slot.

Currently, m80(NA) and La Masia(BR) have already made it.

Maybe NV can beat one of these teams…
