We've done it... We've fucking done it. I am so proud of my boys. They played their hearts out and they earned it. They stuck through it all and we did it. I could never ask any more of the work they put in. WE ARE FUCKING WORLD CHAMPS.

3 weeks out ⏰

@Franklin_R6 @Solo_R6S My time has come

@TerlerR6 @rawafps

@DaedaGG @rawafps Back down... NOW.

@rawafps @TerlerR6 Good thing I raised you to be a rule breaker

@TerlerR6 Fair

I have been developing out my analytics platform for both Siege and Valorant, and will continue to develop out both for the foreseeable future with the intent of use with an organization involved in both scenes (while I focus one coaching). Always happy to showcase in call.

Siege is my passion, as a game title, the bar to entry is higher in terms of skill and effort. Macro and micro development as a coach gives me more of an impact in the server, which is all a coach could ever want, to take some more of the burden off the players to play their game. I was bitter about my initial departure from R6, with concerns about the sustainability of the scene. It was rough to see Siege grow without me there and coming back I have never felt more confident in my individual skill as a coach. I've always had a poor taste in "game hoppers", as passion about the game should match the passion of the individual. However, I have gotten a performance coaching position in Valorant that allows me to provide for myself. Esports was never about the money, but there is a balance between doing what you're passionate about and being able to just survive. The three opportunities I found within the next season of Siege are far below the minimum of what I can take to put in the hours I want to in a project. My life is wake, gym, work, sleep and to attempt the same is brutal. With my opportunity being in the APAC region, my plan is to coach in the APAC timezones for Valorant performance coaching and either branch out into game agnostic individual coaching or part time assist in developing out NA R6 in T1/T2 as an event coach or secondary support staff. I long for the day I can commit back fully into Siege with a position that is sustainable and make an impact on the game like I did from 2019-2022, whether coaching or managing or a mixture of the two. But until then, my plan is to still work on the background until stability returns (which should come with this year's changes and the addition of CNL). I am still available for negotiation in any role for R6 or Val, so DMs are always open.

@Virtue_R6 That top of the world champion mentality will continue to flourish in every aspect of your life, was always an honor to see you in the servers.

Time to stop living a boys dream and start living a man’s dream with my wife and family. It’s been a pleasure that was filled with amazing experiences, but my time has come to an end with siege. Finally moving on to create a serious life back home with the ones I love. Take care 🙂‍↕️

@gompersx You aren't wrong but ?????????

How fracture being added back feels rn

@_MercR6 Y'all need a coach?

Rumor TSM has picked up iconic as a 5th and will be entering R6 NAL again

This is an amazing balancing opportunity though! Can we make it so the 2.5x scope can only be used if you're above the age of 25, globally? The older players need something to be able to fight back with as the pixels start getting a bit fuzzy.

@xccuratevlr so old

28 today and thriving! 🎉🎂

We need to address this situation, it is very serious. Throughout this entire tournament, I’ve heard BLAST admins say that they want to give more consideration and recognition to the analysts and assistant coaches who are here, working just as hard as everyone else on the team to make this happen. And now you treat JP, an SI champion, like this???? We handled not having a hotel to stay in. We handled not having lunch and dinner provided at the hotel. We handled not receiving the gifts that were given to the other six members of the team (even though some admins were very kind and always tried to help and we appreciate that). But now we’re not even allowed to go up and lift the hammer as well? This is not fair, and it’s extremely disrespectful to the work that’s being done behind the scenes.

He would never admit it but there is no one more deserving of this award

@pndnts My favorite META as a coach. Punished for giving up early picks, punished for lack of time management and roam clear gaps, punished for Intel cycling into reading site setups. Would have been interesting to see that META util setup macro paired with the current ATK OP selection

Curious how this generation of Siege fans & players would fare if we had the old 20 second meta make a comeback.

[LFT as Coach] T1 priority - Region unrestricted 63% WR in R6 4 Worlds top 5 (🏆'22, 🥉'20, 4th '21, 5th '19) 5 Majors, 4 Nationals (🏆🥉🥈) Priority HC/AC/Strategic Coach, come with my own analytics toolkit. DM for work Discord: daeda.coach about.daeda.gg/resume

Years in the making, definitely the revitalization the Siege esports needs. CN has had a passionate underground R6 fan base for awhile now, so glad they'll get a chance to compete.

LFT T1/T2 - Comfy on Support/Flex - Very Flexible and Vocal - Open Schedule DM if interested

@ST0MPN You've had a stellar year, Zach. Take the couple minutes you need to soak it in and and process, then use it as fuel for the fire.

out of si, disappointed but we werent playing up to our standards so it was bound to happen sorry to all the fans who were supporting it was a good first year of Pro play for me unfortunately couldnt win a title but theres always more tournaments 🙏

@TSM_Enoa It had to be a Mute main pushing the change, as running Mozzie is nearly always followed with Mute for max value and when I left R6 it was the mute player complaining about rotate duty and coming back it has been the same. Doesn't change the comp setups much, so a good QoL.

@T1_Daeda At Least i can use Mozzie again

Mozzie is getting the Super Shorty AND his Commando is still the better primary! Make sure to get the TSM Commando skin in the espo-... nvm Some puzzling changes, esp with the frequency of increasing DEF util to try to stave off ATK tempo dominance, but will be fun work through

For engagements though: Next I want to see 4 Mira Black Panels and 6 smoke canisters. I think as bittersweet as it is in a comp level, for ranked I hope it punishes players for time torching and improper drone utility. Anything to push the need for comms in higher play.

Most of these were and are good changes, just listing the numbers off the top of my head for gadget count in balancing. (Bandit came w/ Hibana addition, Maestro/Melusi/Castle good to stave off the heavy LMG/Shield meta) Just something to be thinking going forward with op changes
