However, if there’s one thing missing from all of these players’ resumes it’s winning Champions, so that will certainly be a motivation for Fnatic come August. Those three have formed the core of a Fnatic team that reached the final of the first global VALORANT event and have consistently achieved excellent results with Fnatic since 2021. His place in VALORANT history is secure, and Fnatic in-game leader Boaster, duelist Nikita “Derke” Sirmitev and coach Jake “mini” Harris also have impeccable credentials. He and Gambit reached the final of Champions 2021 but lost to Acend. It’s also worth noting that Chronicle has appeared in four global tournaments and reached the final at all four. He won his first with Gambit at Masters Berlin in 2021, and now has two with Fnatic. Somebody who already has three global titles at an individual level is Fnatic’s Timofey "Chronicle" Khromov. Triple crown? Trifecta? Treble? Grand slam? Take your pick, but winning all three global tournaments in 2023 would be an impressive accomplishment, and set the bar incredibly high for future VALORANT teams who would seek to be the best of all time. There’s already been some talk on Twitter about what the accomplishment should be called. Back-to-back tournament wins don’t make a dynasty, but if they were to win Champions in August, then they will rightfully be labeled as a dynasty. Not only that, but they did it in back-to-back fashion, after also winning VCT LOCK//IN earlier this year. Putting that aside though, Fnatic became the first VALORANT team to win two global LAN tournaments in winning Masters Tokyo. In fact, their only loss all year was in the VCT EMEA final to Team Liquid. The only blemish on Fnatic’s resume this year is not winning the inaugural season of VCT EMEA.

EDG’s run plus the fact the top three was once again teams from three different regions is a testament to the development of strong VALORANT teams all over the world. EDward Gaming showed that Chinese VALORANT teams will be a force to be reckoned with going forward. Evil Geniuses proved all the doubters wrong in reaching the Tokyo final. Jake “Boaster” Howlett & Co.’s accomplishment will be a memorable part of VALORANT history, and the way Fnatic looked in Tokyo, they’re likely not done winning.īut Masters Tokyo will be remembered for more than just Fnatic’s win. Since the start of the VALORANT Champions Tour in 2021, they became the first team to win two global VCT events, and obviously the first to win two events consecutively too. The peak player count was achieved just over an hour before the semifinal match between the Danish team Heroic and the fearsome Natus Vincere from Ukraine.Fnatic won VALORANT Masters Tokyo to win their second consecutive global event. IEM Katowice 2023, a recent CS:GO competition that saw G2 Esports win the trophy after defeating Heroic in the championship match, could have been another important factor that helped the title to reach this record-breaking high player count. Songs from Denzel Curry’s album “Melt My Eyez See Your Future” and the brand-new “Espionage Sticker Capsule,” which includes 21 stickers from the Steam Workshop, were also added to the game in addition to the new case. There are 17 new skins included in the Case, covering practically all of the game’s frequently used firearms including M4A4, M4A1, AK-47, and AWP. The Revolution Case has the distinction of being the first Case since the Operation Bravo Case back in 2013 to have the whole set of skins. Today we're excited to ship the Revolution Case, the Espionage Sticker Capsule, and the ULTIMATE music kit from /7N0wP4Qlcl Many people think that the new Revolution case, which became available following the update on February 9, was the primary cause of the players’ boast. Like every other game, CS:GO has seen a quick increase in users at the start of the new year, with a massive uptick of over 96,000 new players in January 2023. What are the reasons behind the sudden rise? It will be intriguing to see how much more CS:GO can accomplish this year, especially with a strong start to the year. The new milestone clearly demonstrates that CS:GO is still as popular as it has ever been, despite being the oldest FPS game and facing fierce rivalry from direct competitor Valorant. While many popular titles seemed to be losing players, CS:GO managed to reach a million concurrent players alongside three other titles including Dota 2, PUBG, and Lost Ark.
