I’ve known @s0mcs for 4 years and he still calls me android Meanwhile people in ranked start saying “waddup Brad” after 3 ranked game interactions

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.

My valorant account was hacked and they decided to send racist messages to Shahzam and possibly other people that I’m not aware of. I’ve taken all measures to assure the security of my account and am back in full control. Sorry to everyone who had to see that😔

The only reason I’m taking this so well is that it has happened to me multiple times in the past. I’ve already mentally prepared for stuff like this. You have a job and think everything is ok, then out of nowhere you don’t. That’s just esports, nothing new.

I will no longer be playing for NRG as I have been moved to the bench. Pretty devastated from this but I understand their decision. I wish nothing but the best to all of the guys at NRG— I genuinely hope they kill it in vct as they’ve all been W teammates since day one 👍

I thought my purpose in life was to sit in front of a computer and move my mouse better than everyone else but now I’m not too sure

Sexism is already a huge issue in the gaming world. It's ridiculous that nothing is being done about it and any kind of influencer / streamer shouldn't be promoting such activity. Treat others the way you want to be treated, PERIOD. Unbelievable.

Exciting news! Joined @NRGgg 😄

All I’m going to say is that I drove @Marved6 to his first lan ever so you guys can thank me whenever

I don't think many gamers think of the “mental” side of gaming. So many people I see are so fixated on aim trainers or flashy plays, but I can tell even these pro players are having trouble controlling their nerves; it's very obvious to me. I always had tier 1 mechanics/aim/game sense, but my mental game was at tier 3-4 level. When I became nervous, my aim/game sense/mechanics would go from tier 1 to tier 3 every time. Reaching your full potential may have nothing to do with in-game factors, which is all I focused on the last seven years of my career. The mental blocks were my handicap. Most of these organizations don't even help their players with the mental side of the game. Which, in my opinion, is one of the most important aspects of a winning team. It's even harder to control your nerves in esports because you have the same pressure as other athletes but don't nearly make enough money to retire. Every single game, you have the pressure of losing your job if you don't perform; there is no safety net. Every game, your future is on the line. Also, gamers tend to be isolated creatures which causes even more anxiety. The point of this is just to spread awareness of the mental side because if you spend your days grinding a game indoors, by yourself all day, without any thought of how it can negatively affect your performance in-game, you may run into some issues when you finally "make it." Think about your lifestyle, diet, thoughts, self-esteem, and confidence, and begin to work on these too. It's not all about spending 10 hours a day grinding ranked or DMS. Stay safe, gamers 🫡

First day on the job

i can have sex on stream and only get a 7 day ban? i bet if we cosplay renya and brim wed get a lot of viewers will need a +1 tho dm me

ANDROID WAS THE PROBLEM

My time with NRG has officially come to an end. I am forever grateful for the opportunity and have nothing but good things to say about the staff/players. As for my future -- I can't see myself giving up after coming this far, I'll be back 💙

Typical dm session for me

ook tarik

People constantly hating on sentinels but just think about what they're doing for the scene - Building the fanbase - Bringing new sponsors - Entertaining thousands of people - Making this game exciting to watch All while performing at the very top level 👏

The best part about being a gamer is all the money we get to save on not having to buy condoms

I'm so happy for @yayFPS. Had the pleasure to team with him for multiple years and he's the most lovable guy you'll ever meet, hope he streams more so you guys can see what a geniune outstanding guy he is. He deserves everything he has and more ❤️

How often do you guys q a valorant game then instantly regret it

I asked @trentFPS when he started gaming and he casually said “I got my first ever pc 2 years ago” Must be a magical pc plz check

Before you spend 80+ dollars on skins I’d wait a week or even until the last day to purchase them since in most cases everyone (streamers) drools over it when they first come out then loses interest after 5 ranked games

this is why i left nrg early i got a head start at mcdonalds almost a manager

All g that’s life sometimes. I’ll always appreciate you James ❤️

esports healthy balance + future plans Read: tl.gd/n_1ss1ccb

I used to eat apple pies by taking out all the apples and only eating the crust I think this is why we’re 0-3 Sorry team

I wonder how many gamers have symptoms of carpal tunnel / arthritis but are completely ignoring it

i own an iphone sorry for the disappointment

.@Marved6 Came by the local Toronto lan to connect with fans. Superstar in and out of the server ❤️

This is why I can’t talk to girls: Her: “I hate using the same perfume cause I get tired of a scent easily.” Me: “Oh, you don’t like playing ascent??? how come??? It’s my favourite map???

I deeply regret this alias sometimes lol

I got a girls number and I didn't even have to mention my valorant rank 😳

Think I’ve insta killed every single yoru clone so far

To everyone who has supported me throughout my career: I would like to let you all know that I have decided to pursue my bachelor's of Sports Psychology at Ottawa University while competing in their Valorant team. New chapter 🫡

If you're going to insta-lock an agent that isn't "META" meaning the most effective in slot agent for said map you're putting your team at a huge disadvantage right off the bat. Your team is used to playing with the meta comp so it's up to YOU to come up with plays to win rounds.

The second you whine in ranked your odds of winning goes down by 30-40% 1. You will play worse because you’re titling / emotional (clouded judgment) 2. Your teammates will stop caring as much because you created a toxic environment Be a good teammate if you want to win

Can anyone who is above the age of 25 explain to me how to mentally endure valorant ranked games

I admit my password wasn’t the best, but they have been the same for the past six years of my career, and I've never had an issue once (with steam). I hope valorant decides to add the 2auth option to your login, not just their website. Hard to have peace of mind without it.

how is this possible

I thought @ethanarnold made some 1000 million iq play to kill me here Thanks @s0mcs

REMINDER THAT DEATHMATCH IS COMPLETE GARBAGE AND RIOT SHOULD CHANGE IT ASAP I WILL FIGHT FOR US #MAKEDMGREAT Idc how you do it but please take out the WINNING aspect. It's about improving not having sweaty kids who are basically the monsters from a quiet place hunt you down

Gl to all the teams in vct! I’m happy for all of you!!

So many people defending this guy lmfaooo you guys are wild

As for me, I will never give up my dream of becoming the player I know I can be. I will use this time to self-reflect, fix my mental blocks and come back to the scene. Appreciate all of you guys, see you soon.

How to get kills with each gun Frenzy - hold a/d + mouse 1 Stinger - hold a/d + mouse 1 Classic - right click Judge - just left click Bucky - 10 meters right click Sheriff - avoid (actually have to aim) Vandel - avoid also Phantom - spam a/d hold mouse 1 + randomly crouch

People are starting to really focus on their movement. I can’t justify using the vandal anymore. It’s too hard to hit consistent headshots when the opponent looks like they just had 10 scoops of gfuel. Goodbye vandal it’s been fun.

I need to get this thought out of the way too IT IS NOT CRINGE TO TRYHARD IN RANKED OR DM Even pros say this and admittedly I've said this once or twice for copium but don't let anyone influence you to not be your best at all times

Sick to my stomach. Feel so unsafe in this cyber world man

oof

.block s0m Tex eeiu hazed ethan joshrt i can't be reminded of my ex

I hated playing against c9 more than any team because of their movement. The way they move around and use the phantom made good xhair placement obsolete; they’d abuse the mechanics in the game more than anyone by jiggling/ prefiring. Could not headshot these guys for the life of me. Absolute beasts.

Can someone explain to me why they don't teach kids how to do taxes in school? If I didn't have my parents I would be in jail right now for tax evasion 100%

Hey @KnightsGG I’ll sell you all of nrgs strats, let’s talk numbers, keep it on the DL tho

If I return to school, which ones have the best valorant scholarships? (trying to take psych) Pretty clueless about how all of that works, so if you have some info, lemme know ☺️

Spend enough time in front of a computer; you tend to forget that there are real humans behind each name tag If you have rage/tilt issues, try recording your game, then listen to yourself Once you hear how absolutely cringe you are hopefully it inspires change

I’ve talked to girls who just completely gave up on their dreams of becoming a pro gamer because they get harassed every single day and they know it’s not going away anytime soon. Peoples empathy meters can be non existent nowadays 🤷‍♂️

as someone who is braindead I am not offended all g guys

28 🥳 grateful for everything in my life ❤️

Also, Valorant needs to change the dm system DMing should NEVER feel competitive. It’s somewhere you go to blast music and practice different mechanics It NEEDS to be a place where you hop in and out of and not worry about someone getting 40 kills and having to Q again 1/2

this isn't a flex or anything at all but I genuinely feel bad ending DMS so fast I've been getting to 39 kills then leaving so people can actually get some practice in hopefully we see a change soon

Way to make history guys @daprcs @SicK_cs @ShahZaMk @zombs @TenZOfficial congrats! 🎉 Big W for NA

I was about to duo q with this girl and i said one sec gonna dm before and she replied "why... are you scared?" tf? i will no longer be warming up ever again

Did the observer catch me in sewer spinning around and full commit spray my turret on top short box thinking it was an enemy? 😅 @hazedCS immediately asked me if I was drunk…

It should mandatory for everyone to retake their drivers test every couple years But nah let’s just let some of these idiots still drive who never check their blind spots and endanger us all

WHAT MORE CAN I DOOOOOOO LEMME WINNNNNNN

I shouldn’t make these kinds of tweets when not a lot of people know what I’m like. I’m a lot happier with the events that has happened in my life since being benched. It was a blessing in disguise for me and now it’s fun to just joke about all of this. All good.

First tournament under @NRGgg today Only had a couple days worth of practice but I’m still confident we can make it to masters #NRGFam 👏

Giving up being a pro player was one of the hardest things I've had to accept at the time. But sometimes in life, you have to divert from what you think you want and follow what your instinct is telling you. Shifting from the path you're tunnel visioned on and trying something new may be the only way to grow and get what you desire in life. I am a 28 y/o going back to uni with no job but I am happier than I have ever been. It is never too late to seek what you truly desire ❤️

i've struggled with depression for so long i forgot what it even felt like to be happy. being in that state it rlly does feel like everything is hopeless but sometimes you need to suffer for a bit to truly reap the benefits of life. never give up, domino of good things r waiting

overthinking/depression... it feels like you aren't even in your own body, like you're in 3rd pov observing yourself, it just isn't possible to enjoy yourself overthinking 24/7 when you finally stop and are able to be in the present it truly is a magical feeling read below

imposter syndrome + social anxiety is one hell of a combo to have. you don't talk to anyone because it makes you anxious and you have your own negative thoughts about yourself which no one can help you since you don't tell anyone. You're stuck feeling a certain way forever.

Hey @PlayVALORANT You should add PISTOL,HS,OP only deathmatch modes People aren't able to properly practice their pistols People get flamed for practicing with an op Arms race would be a lot of fun also I hope you plan to implement stuff like this soon 👍

Only reason I’m going to the gym is to fight @texerino for my spot back

I love eating bananas - not for the taste I just like the shape

wait... i igl everytime we've q'd together 😳 I thought this was weird way for you to confess your love for me but since we're gamers it only makes sense we can discuss the wedding plans later tn

Nice robot dance @TSM_Myth 🤣

To satisfy all my Brazilian fans apparently I have to hurt a baby, take my shirt off and come to Brazil

someone tell me the difference between these two maps

Yo @777eeiu @hazedCS @texerino @s0mcs @ethanarnold I take my new position as a professional benchwarmer seriously so if you need anything, perhaps a cold beverage, hot towel, maybe a neck massage? Whatever you need! I won’t mess this up!! GL GUYS!

When all of us gamers are old, retired and can’t move our hands anymore due to severe carpal tunnel ima create the sickest VR retirement home for us dw I got us

im i crazy or does everyone Q split in dms 70% of the time

Mental training in gaming thread Ask yourself what does your inner dialogue tell you when you play? Are you too hard on yourself? Do you get in your head when you play badly? Do you blame teammates? Does it affect you? Are you switching your settings as a way to cope?

if you immediately flick to the ground and use your spray after kills I think ur cringe and should seek help

So many gamers with wrist / finger / back injury’s at such an early age Guys, please take care of yourself. Take some time and do your own research to prevent these injury’s. You’ll 100% regret it if you don’t educate yourself.
