Yesterday we made mistakes, and I am fine with it, because now we can work on improving them. First game jitters and all are just an excuse. We will get better over the course of time. For people supporting us, we will give our best to not let you all down. People who hate calling us mid and or even worse calling our entire region as shit and comparing us to other regions, please keep doing your work, keep hating because me or in fact no one can change your mindset. Hate is free, and it's very easy to hate someone. Through my lens across all the rounds we played yesterday, there were rounds where we did things well and played good valorant but couldn't do it consistently. That's all I want to achieve: play good Valorant and do it consistently. With that being said, today is a brand new day, and we face a young Xcrew. They did really well vs godsreign and my team and I are excited to face them. S8UL fam and haters do assemble at 6 pm to spread love/hate. 🚀 Words of wisdom: Comparison is a thief of joy!

@GodspeedxD @LightningFast07 the goat😋

One small thing after the first two days of Split 1. Hearing a lot of discourse about how VCLSA is so bad and no point watching or who wins. You guys said the same about VLT last season before Ascension and even after having the best run of any Indian team ever, you guys kept ridiculing them. The region performed better than several other regions in 2025. They deserved more respect and plaudits than they were given. It’s very easy to hate people when they lose and support them when they win. Try supporting people regardless of results sometimes. Try supporting people because you like them or want them to succeed. Criticise players. Criticise coaches. Criticise orgs. But support these players. They are trying their best to perform and represent the region. We will keep working towards trying to represent our region to the best of our abilities and situations. Thank you.

@rishivjk @xexxarvlr Raise a ticket on Player Support and let me know the ticket ID...

Utterly disrespectful to give a slot away to a team like this when 90% of the qualifier teams would end up performing better. Nothing against the players. Anyone who gets the opportunity will grab it. But it’s extremely disrespectful to others who are working their ass off to get into VCL. This rule needs looking into. Mockery of an invited slot.

Bootcamp 🚀🙏

my rabbit hole of the day: mental performance using science simplified our brain (specifically the prefrontal cortex) has basically 2 modes: planning/analysis and execution. these 2 modes cant happen at the same time, and this is often why players "who dont care" actually have a buff when it comes to performance. gamers are often overthinkers. we get stuck in the analysis phase. we start thinking about future scenarios, exaggerating threats, and simulating situations that havent happened in the round yet. this triggers anxiety. our brain wants to flag uncertainty as a danger. so we create fake perceived threats. we start being more passive, we take less risk, we're hesitant to take space even tho info says we should, and we play micro situations poorly. we paralyze ourselves by flooding the brain with thoughts and mental stimuli. the more we care about the outcome, the more we treat decisions as very consequential. we waste a ton of mental energy on constantly analyzing our decisions, the situation, the context of the round. anxiety, overthinking, rumination all live in the planning/analysis mode. unfortunately, the best performance mode is the execution mode. that's where flowstate lives. players who dont gaf are almost never stuck in analysis states and are almost always in execution mode. they dont care about making mistakes. they dont care about winning. none of their decisions are perceived as consequential. there is no fake perceived threat, thus they are almost always in some kind of flow state. if you are an overthinker, you should be using the analysis mode outside of the game and try to let yourself be in execution mode while youre actually playing the game. good luck tho, shit's hard to do
