Still rattled that we won i72 last night. Finally have something to show for almost a year of coaching. Incredible meeting everyone in person from

Please no one message me anymore with recommendations or asking to trial replace Waken on smokes for Metizport. We have a plan moving into the last 2 matches of the season. If we do carry out trials, I will be prepared, or you will see me LFP. I've got enough to focus on for now
Needed a little bit to think about what I wanted to say,
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank everyone at

for the opportunity of a lifetime. I’m very proud to say I was a small part in this project, thank you for your faith in me over the months. (1/?)
LFT as head coach for any APAC/EU team.
After a great 6 month stint with
@PARAGONPRG
I am looking to explore my options as a coach. Remote for now (will explain on inquiry).
Happy to send work examples, and explain in-depth how I coach and see the game.
Dm or disc: rivenary
Thought I would explain a bit of the situation. Due to the rule where we are allowed to only have 2 transfers during the season (the admins made an exception for waken to be replaced temporarily with stike), and due to stike and njoy's availability I am stepping up today to play
Keeping a consistent playstyle across all maps is key to a team's success. Diamant understands their trap heavy/site lockdown slow playstyle, and run off-meta comps that bolster this.
There's a difference between playing off-meta for the sake of it, and off-meta with a purpose.
Been a really long season. Lots of random things happening blindsided me, and so many unfortunate results with such insanely close games. Bottom of the table, but that means it's only up from here.
We find out our fate for play-ins and relegation tomorrow.
Due to schedule mismatches, I'm going LFT as a coach in APAC/EU:
- 9 months' coaching experience with
@PARAGONPRG
and
@FLXORG
- Extensive excel statistics analysis, stratbooks, vod review, lineups and pro analysis (dm for examples)
- Looking for long-term team

Nothing but pure respect for both
@FNATIC
and
@TeamVitality
. Both have had some major internal changes and to put up the performances they both did this playoffs should be taken as an inspiration to us all.
Congrats Fnatic, and well played to everyone else in

I use a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop, it's been a couple of years now but it still performs well on intensive games like Elden Ring, and I've travelled a lot with it. Very sturdy build and not too much overheating for a laptop. Excited to be part of an org that is partnered with them
We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with Lenovo Legion! 🤝
We've long wanted to work with Lenovo as they provide the best equipment for gaming and esports, giving our players the opportunity to reach the next level. 📈
As well as being top of the class, Lenovo
Most people are looking forward to champs, but man these ascension matches are nuts. Every team is leaving it all out on the server. The final clutch from Kiles to end the day off is a pretty good way to sum up how good and close the games today were.
Some of the stuff the
#i72
broadcast missed
- Waken noscoped szoren
- Waken jumped down and noscoped deq
- d3mur didn't transfer, he had 1 bullet left after the first kill, reset the aim and 1 tapped T0BA
So far in kickoff, APAC teams on Sunset have been playing viper mainly, and without a breach. NA and China like viper too, but most of EMEA tier 2 likes breach.
If EMEA tier 1 likes breach, we might see an interesting clash of styles come Madrid.
Excited for kickoff EMEA.
@stikeVal
@Metizport
Hey you can say you went from playing in tier 3 to going toe to toe with apeks and sweetnsour and performing pretty solidly. Good luck in the future mate
@Yariesport
Thank you for everything. They have been such a supportive, caring and emotionally invested org. It sucks it ends this way, but from the bottom of my heart thank you.
Pistol rounds should not be a round where you take a gamble on a detailed, risky, one-off strategy. Make it a refined version of one of your best strategies.
It is one of the single most impactful rounds in the entire game. Play for consistency over flair on these rounds.
Speaking of momentum: 1 clutch from pancada, and they come back. Before that, 1 clutch from nzr at 3-3 turned the half into a 7-5, and the eco defuse at 7-6 from Furia turned into 11-6. Crazy how much impact 1 moment can have not just in economy, but in the team mental too.
Combining all of Italy Spain and Portugal into one should have at least been done equally imo, even though it is under the Spanish banner. There are a lot of very good teams and players who will miss out now because of this change. Overnight everything can change.
Further info
- Extensive stratbooks, anti-strats, statistics and vod review work on a centralised google drive (have used notion in the past)
- Individual coaching for specific improvements in 1-1s with players
- My rationale: Out-work your players to gain their respect
@Obviouslyjames_
I second this. They continue to be incredible competition, and on LAN were gracious in victory in the upper finals, and were genuinely trying to make friends with the rest of the competition including us. Nothing but praise for the players.
Realised that one team from each major region won, and one team lost out of the 2 representatives so far in swiss. 3 of the games were also 2-1, pretty clearly an even playing field between all of the regions. Please riot no games with same region vs same region
The org owners:
@yaridrew_
@yariclonez
. None of this would have happened if not for you. Was an incredible experience, we hope we did it justice for you guys
I have absolutely no intention of stopping here. This chapter has closed, and I’m excited for what is to come. Thank you to everyone who supported us along the way, and to those who believed in us. Onwards and upwards

This NRG vs SEN game is nuts...so intense, victor popping off to pull it back, the scripted s0m and FNS 2v2 win to take it to overtime, and the ever frustrating Sunset B post plant being completely abused by both teams
@VALORANTbeacon
@HeadshotGirls
@Sokoviafps
I spent maybe 2 hours originally going through things with you to help set you off on the right track, everything else has been your own hard work and achievements with
@Neskym8_HSG
. Good luck this weekend
@OzzyTKing
Vouch - The second coming of the headshot machine. You won't find a more genuinely happy guy and positive influence on any team. Not just in comms though, this guy farms insane clips and is one of the most consistent players I've ever had the privilege of coaching. Vamos
To all of the other teams we played, in particular
@EXOClan
and
@EO_organisation
, an incredible rivalry, hope to play you guys again soon. Mention to
@TheCTRLEsports
, sat behind us and it’s a shame we never played.
Crazy that LOUD's season is over already, it's mid July. A well played last 2 maps from them though, especially to bounce back from what happened on their map pick of Ascent. Hoping to see them come back and dominate next year.

@WakenVAL
@eNJoyVLR
The effort put in by the overall team was incredible. Don’t discredit yourselves either. A lot of the best ideas come from you lot too. So happy to be able to coach this team, and proud of my igl
@iantoVAL
@Yariesport
I don’t think I’ve ever been more impressed by how much impact a deadlock can have than when I’m watching my team run into your gravnet combos over and over again. You’re crazy good
@shinnokgod
Vouch - Prodigy doesn’t even begin to describe it. He will be in VCT someday, take him before he turns 18 and is scouted by a tier 1 org. He will win you trophies. Also, an incredibly mature character for a 16 year old, dedicated to improving with an innate gamesense. Pick him up
To all the fans who were there cheering us on and having fun hanging out with the team,
@0nehandedgaming
in particular, was good to meet everyone and I hope we can follow up in beacons and further on
@PARAGONPRG
@FLXORG
Looking primarily for teams that start scrims around midday/afternoon for EU. Evening scrim teams during the week just won't really work with my schedule. I recently moved back to Asia, but can fly up for LAN events to Europe. None of this applies to APAC teams.
Dm's are open
To all of the admins and staff who sorted everything out
@Ross_esports
in particular, I don’t know everyone’s names, but you guys made the tournament what it is.
@WakenVAL
Vouch - This guy has got my ideas on macro absolutely 100% down and can put them into action consistently. You want an igl that can frag in vcl, as well as completely outplay the enemy team, get this guy right now. He's been a wonderful player to coach, and I wish him the best
@IanImmi
For me at least it’s because we try to follow a specific style of play in particular with similar defensive win conditions. The comps I draft are fairly similar on maps that I feel play similarly. Sometimes we take meta comps if they fit, sometimes I go cook
@shinnokgod
@aNc_Outplayed
An absolutely unreal player. I’d vouch for this guy to play on any team any day. He’s got this sixth sense for the game and understanding what to do that I don’t think I’ve ever seen any other player that I’ve coached have. Dm me if anyone wants a more detailed reference
