Today, I part ways with FNATIC after a year.

It has been a very turbulent year, but one I've been able to take many lessons from. Lessons that will serve as valuable experience for whatever comes next.

I want to thank everyone at FNATIC for this year, especially @milanfps @OfficialBoaster @performmentally @CoJoPM for trusting me with this job from the start, and for the many days of hard work and challenges we had to overcome together.

Thank you to all my teammates and staff I've worked with throughout the year. It's been amazing to see so many people giving their all every single day to improve themselves and the team. Your work has been inspiring, and it hasn't gone unnoticed.

A big thank you to all the fans who stuck with us through the tougher times, and who kept believing in and encouraging everyone involved. You have a great project to support in 2027, no doubt about that! 🧡🖤

I'm really excited for what comes next. Hopefully more news soon!🤔
After a year together, today we're also parting ways with Assistant Coach (and EMEA's best undefeated Phoenix) @DesmoFPS

The incredible amount of work you put in behind the scenes (and on stage) throughout a turbulent and unpredictable year cant be understated. Thank you from all of us 🧡

This is exactly what we’re building VEL for.

With or without Riot involvement, our goal is to create the FPL equivalent for VALORANT - a serious ecosystem where top players have a reason to grind, rising talent has a real path forward, and performance actually means something.

We’re already taking major steps toward that with structured competition, leaderboards, scouting, player profiles, live POVs, Challenger progression, prizes, and agency/organizations involvement.

The hardest part is partnerships. VALORANT brands and sponsors are not always easy to reach, so we’ve made that side transparent too.

All of our audience data, activity, and partnership information is available here:
ve-lounge.com/audience
If you’re a brand, organization, or partner who wants to help push the competitive ecosystem forward - reach out.

Let’s win together.
@TrickVAL If Riot add an official FPL like hub partnered with VEL with actual prizes 100% there will easily be consistent grinding/ranked players trying to qualify for it

Free Agent for 2027. Beyond motivated and been working on refining myself this whole time.

I bring immense value and experience in the server, but more importantly out the server, which I believe is just as important to foster a healthy and growth-oriented environment ty & trust - something I’ve seen is a major pain point for alot of teams that I want to prevent.

- Able to play any role, highly adaptable
- Open to all regions (NA EU CN APAC)

Open to HC/Coach/Director roles worldwide (T1–T67, Academies, Game Changers).

Main priorities for my next step:
1. Japan: Looking for a long-term project (2+ year vision) to build and develop a competitive roster/club structure in valo division/develope local staff. Ready to icas: Open to projects in NA/SA.
3. EMEA: Mostly interested in building and leading an all-Russian/CIS roster. Open to clubs ready to invest in bringing together top CIS talent.

The priorities mentioned above do not mean I wont consider offers from other regions/teams.

Sadly the year comes to an end. It’s been very turbulent one with lots of ups and downs. We gave it our all till the very end, we never stopped believing or trying, for us there was always a reason to stay in the fight.

Sorry to all the fans for not living up to the expectations. We worked hard to try and make it happen. Kickoff and Stage 1 saw us close to qualifying for internationals, but this stage felt like hitting a brick wall at times.

In the end, things didn’t go as we wanted them, and that’s just how it goes sometimes.

Thanks to my teammates for spending this year with me and for being part of the process. Through wins and losses, it’s been a joyful time 🧡

0-2 @LiquidValorant ggwp. Tbh this was not us today, went from showing some greatness vs KC to being stun locked for an hour straight today. Let’s take the last 2 wins.

Won 2-1 against @KarmineCorp ggwp. Felt like this game could’ve gone both ways with these summit and split OTs, but I’m happy we showed good resilience and energy to last till the very end. We will fix some of the quick things and prepare for Liquid on for Friday 🫡 See you there

2-0 vs @GIANTXVALORANT ggwp. Starting off our Stage 2 with a nice game, with many good moments to VOD review and iron out.

FNATIC Sunset surprise pick probably wasn’t in a lot of peoples cards, so I’m happy it worked out today 🧡🖤

2-3 vs @KarmineCorp ggwp. A lot of testing and stuff going into the past weeks time, didn't pay off as much as we wanted. We made a lot of progress on other important matters, and I'm happy about the resilience we showed today. It feels like we're so close to making everything click, so we'll keep grinding until it does.
