Still all very surreal, can't believe what we managed in just one year.
This was always the goal, and though it seemed far-fetched to start with, we quickly proved just how possible it was.
So proud of the guys, as always.
#RiseUp
I think it's really important to improve transparency in esports in general, so i've spoken to
@BonecoldVAL
who is happy for me to shed some more light on the background regarding the roster change. 🧵⬇️
As we evalute the next steps for our Valorant team, we will be moving
@BonecoldVAL
to the bench. We are grateful for the role he played in our success, and have no doubt he’ll find success in a new team!
Bonecold remains under contract but is free to explore new opportunities.
For the team as a whole we felt that over time the culture has changed within. The way in which the core of our team see the game and how they want to play it has moved away from the way Bonecold sees it.
Naturally there is some confusion from the general community who only see the situation from outside. Bonecold is a great player and excellent to work with and there is certainly no bad blood between him and the players.
We felt that, because this had been a longer-term issue within the team, a roster change was a necessary step to bring us back to previous form and to continue growing as a team.
As always we appreciate the support and hope everyone continues to support Bonecold on his journey!
As we've seen from the start of the year these differences in opinion have made it hard for us to play as a cohesive unit and result in a range of difficulties in the effectiveness of our practice and general game plan, as well as in our official gameplay itself.
Incredibly proud of what we've achieved from the start of the year to now.
We laugh, shout and dance on stage because we're genuinely happy to be performing amongst the best.
The guys have put in a huge amount of work this year, and whilst we may not have got as far as (1/2)
Again this is to stress that it's not a particular flaw in Bonecold's ability, rather that split opinions lead to problems playing to our strengths. As we've always had a fluid IGLing system there's naturally issues when the team has differing opinions and styles of play.
Incredibly proud to be a part of

's journey up to this point, his legacy is only just beginning.
An amazing player and an all round cutie pie that was a pleasure to work with.
Wishing him all the best in the future! 💜
For all the amazing moments, all the clutches, all the trophies, for the funny and the sad moments teşekkürler

The other factor that causes a more decisive change is simply the structure of the VCT system. Due to not qualifying for Masters, we are forced to make big decisions now regarding the future, to ensure we qualify to the next event and still have the chance to make Worlds.

Just like and retweet this!
I'll pick one lucky winner on Friday to DM explaining I haven't got any skins either!

Today is mine and my partner's 16th anniversary, and since im 32 that now means we've spent more of our lives together than apart.
Kind of mind-blowing when I think about it, but I felt like it deserved a brag on the timeline.
Here's a 1st and 16th comparison😄
I get a lot of enquires from unsigned teams and players
I thought it would be useful to list some of my personal dos and donts for contacting orgs for anyone that needs it!
Thread below 🔽
This is incredibly sad, but honestly what else can we do.
I really hope Riot is able to salvage something of Tier 2, but until then we'll be watching from the sidelines.
We're planning on doing a video a bit later in the week expanding on the decision if people are interested.
Hey
@HCS
, disappointed to hear that our content team and assistant coach at

are not allowed access to our players backstage because we're not a partnered team.
We just want to make content for your esport

@LeaderGrev
@Upcomer
@PlayVALORANT
And do their job for them? No thanks
If anyone working on this piece had actually bothered to speak to me I would've been glad to inform them that they had bad information/sources.
Now im home, a little reflection and reiteration of what most of the players have said - This format is brutal, but I think for reasons other than just a single winner.
Of course everyone was devestated by the result, but I don't think missing VCT is even the worst thing 1/5

Excited to announce that yesterday I left my regular 9 to 5 and will now be moving forwards in esports full-time!
I have a few projects ahead including working at the
@GlobalLoot
finals and attending the
#PELCQ
with G2 but i'm available to discuss other opportunities
(1/3)
So it may not have been officially announced yet but if you didn't all guess Im incredibly proud to have been coaching
@Winstrike_Team
during PEL
The guys did amazing and we achieved so much and we're still no where near the full potential of the team!
London, we're coming!
@HCS
This decision benefits nobody, it robs the fans and the competition of an exciting game 5.
Other esports have tech pauses for faulty gear, yet you expect 3 players to play whilst their 4th sorts an issue with the admins?
This is ridiculous by anyone's standards
Proud of the boys, what a crazy end to a great tournament.
The skill of these guys is incredible, once we get rolling it feels like we can win any game.
Just wait for the next one 😈

After about 8 hours of sleep in two days, happy to say that situation is over. Thankful that we can now move on with the tournament.
Huge respect to

they are an incredibly skilled team!
If anyone wants to get our pov of the situation my DMs are always open.

Kind of crazy that even though we are domestic rivals this will only be the second time we've played

I love being at PEL but I'm super happy to be reunited with my gf and cat back in sunny Yorkshire
(Cat picture necessary to farm likes)
Really feel for the guys after this loss, they tried their best with everything else going on. Timing could not of been worse.
As always we'll get back to work and keep grinding until we're back where we should be 💪
Big love to all the players and fans.
Unfortunately, we couldn't make it work. GGs to
@BBL_esports
and well played.
This finishes our first split and unfortunately we can't make it to play-offs either.
Thanks for everyone's support as always, and as we always do we'll come back stronger 💪💜

Joined twitter just under a year ago purely for PUBG esports, amazed to say i've now hit 1k followers and you're all from the PUBG scene.
Much love to everyone from one of the greatest sports scenes i've been a part of and here's to it's continued success! ❤️
Today is my 30th birthday! I took a jump in the deep end last year and whilst it's not always been easy, im privilaged to have been able to follow my dreams into esports.
To celebrate I get to watch

This. What an awesome group of guys, hardworking, humble but with that real fire to be the best.
This year has been a pleasure to see them play, travel with them and write this story.
And there's still one chapter left...
U guys really dont know what we’ve went through in our whole journey, and we still managed to stay together, i feel like its my second family and i love u guys if u read it ❤️
There's a running narrative from some analysts that suggests that our team is 'puggy' or 'lacks strats' and I think that take is so far from the truth.
Playing aggressive and adaptive doesn't mean that each round doesn't have a solid plan and concept behind it.
Super excited to join this team for Phase 3! Ready to get to work!
Huge thanks to the
@crowcrowded
boys for giving me a shot in Phase 1 and to to org fit bailing them out of a rough situation
Time to get the grind on and push for that Global spot! 💪
#letsCRUSH
As a clear underdog in the EU I'm super happy to take 9th against some of the best in the world
I know the team felt like we could do even better but I'm proud of everything we achieved - Only upwards from here 👌
Hi PEL fans, if you see examples of where PEL observing could be improved today please clip it and DM me the link
I'm trying to put together a document with constructive feedback and the more examples the better 👍
After a 15 hour trip including a delayed flight, missed connection, two cancelled trains and two full sprints i'm happy to say I made it home from Istanbul!
Champs was awesome though, always nice to meet up with people in person and watching with a crowd is always a great time!
Insane finals from our PUBG boys, absolutely played their hearts out.
2nd place at the PUBG Global Series
3rd place at the Apex Split 1 Playoffs

Speechless. These guys have shown amazing resiliance to go against the odds, fight for the comeback, never stop fighting round by round.
The support from our fans in the whole tournament has been absolutely amazing. Love you all!

@GeorgeCGed
I'm not for or against agent bans really but this system looks awful at first glance
If you protect the four most 'op' agents you're just leaving the bans to target specific agents that teams have as pocket picks
Seems to just force everyone to play standard comps on all maps.
Not the result we wanted but
#ALGS
was an awesome event to attend
Incredibly proud of
@k4shera
@PostKiLL98
@VJEIX
and
@Senzzapex
for showing they deserve to be seen as one of the best teams in the world
Support from the fans (especially the Portuguese community) was amazing ❤
It's that time of the year when we must all come together and say a prayer for the poor people suffering under terrible conditions...
That's right, I'm talking about Open League players
Heads up boys, If you can make it through that shitshow, you can make it through anything
Working with
@BonecoldVAL
over the past year+ has been amazing and we've achieved so much together.
He's a really hard worker and a great person, as well as of course being a nutty player. I'm sure he's going to find a great home.
As we evalute the next steps for our Valorant team, we will be moving
@BonecoldVAL
to the bench. We are grateful for the role he played in our success, and have no doubt he’ll find success in a new team!
Bonecold remains under contract but is free to explore new opportunities.
I'd really like to see consistent rulings going forward. I don't think a single competitive bug abuse has been punished the same way.
There's a very indepth rulebook with punishments but still it seems like there is so much confusion about what happens and in what circumstance.
